This week we have moved onto Narrative. We read Where Is Home Little Pip? by Karma Wilson and Jane Chapman. It depicts a story of a little penguin who's curiosity gets the better of her and she ends up wandering off from her home.
We discussed what we liked and disliked about the narrative.
1D enjoyed listening to the onomatopoeic words like Whoosh! Wheeee! and Whisssh!
Listen to some children explain their favorite parts of the story:

On Tuesday we mapped out the story onto a story map. We used ambitious vocabulary to describe what was happening in the problem, resolution and ending.

We have also moved onto narrative this week and our focus text is Katie In London by James Mayhew. In 2S we have sequenced pictures and sentences to highlight the main parts of a narrative.

In 2D we have been exploring Remembrance Day by designing our own poppies.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

2F have compared houses from the past and present in their theme this week. Tegan noted some of the features from a house from 1666. Tegan identified the features of the house by using:
- Adjectives
- Connectives to link ideas
Thank you for taking the time to look at our learning. Please comment below and tell us what we did well and what we could improve!
Dear Nisa, we really liked your handwriting because it was so neat. We also liked how you had edited your sentences. In 1M we are going to try hard to edit our writing today, just like you.
ReplyDeleteThank you
Well done Tegan! Well done for using capital letters and full stops. Maybe next time you could form your "d" correctly. Or even use some ambitious vocabulary. We will try to write on the line, just like you did.
