To write or not to write?

Year 1
On Wednesday it was No Pens Day across the whole school. It was a day where none of us were allowed to do mark making of any kind. Luckily we were able to use glue!
We created snow flakes out of different materials and used ambitious vocabulary to describe them.

“Sparkling snowflake.” – Ife

“It’s shimmering.” - Careis

“It’s very delicate, it will melt.” – Daisy

“It’s white and fluffy.” - Frazer

In literacy we acted out different activities that we could do with a lion if he came to have lunch with us. 

Success Criteria:

• Facial expressions
• Clear gestures
• Clear voices

Year 2

Linking to our author of the week Anthony Browne, we wrote descriptive phrases about the forest.

Each table had a different picture of a forest for inspiration. We went around the tables writing a phrases or sentences using adjectives to describe it.

We have also developed our instruction writing skills in literacy this week. Using a recipe frame we have practiced using the imperative verb, time connectives and adverbs.

Grace has displayed some of the skills needed to write instructions by using time connectives to order such as first and next. 

She has also used a range of adverbs such as carefully and gently to add detail to the verbs used.  

To build on Grace’s instruction writing skills she could

now vary the range of imperative verbs used in her writing.

Have a lovely half term!
