We have been getting into the Christmas spirit this week. On Monday we watched The Snowman and mapped out the 5 main parts of the narrative (opening, build up, problem, resolution and ending). We then working in small groups to retell the narrative using puppets.
Children in 1A acting out the story
On Thursday we pretended to be the little boy from The Snowman. We imagined how we would feel if we were flying to the North Pole with a magical Snowman. We wrote our ideas in the form of a diary.
Success Criteria:
- Openers

- Time connectives (first, next, then, finally)

This week we have been writing about Christmas! We wanted to write some poetry to share our ambitious vocabulary so we mind mapped some of the poetic forms that we have looked at this year and decided which one would best suit our Christmas poem. We chose...*drum roll*... an acrostic poem.

We wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
See you in January.
Dear Careis, We liked your very neat handwriting and how you used lots of alliteration. We really liked the word daring.

2D really enjoyed reading year 1's diary entries.
ReplyDeleteWe liked how you used an ! to finish a sentence and you used the connective because to give the reader a reason why you were anxious. Next time 2D think you should be really careful about where you place your full stops.
Well done Ethan- we really liked your poem.
