Fossils on the run!

Year 1
This is our last week on our narrative Katie and the Dinosaurs. We have rewritten the story to include our new character... the terrifying dilophosaurus.

We wrote our story over two days: day 1- opening and build up, day 2- problem, resolution and ending. We followed an extensive success criteria to make our writing interesting. We enjoyed acting out each part before we wrote it to inspire us and generate some additional vocabulary. 
Success Criteria:

  • Always writing SC
  • Adjectives (mysterious, eerie)
  • Time connectives (first, next, then)
  • Onomatopoeia (bang, crash)
  • Alliteration
  • Connectives (and, because)
  • Verbs (walked, ran)
  • Adverbs (carefully, quietly)

Here are two examples of our brilliant writing!

Year 2
This week we went outside to find an interesting object. Once we had found our interesting object we used our imagination to change what it could be. 
In 2D we found a rock that looked like a tooth so our poem is about a rugged tooth.

We found a rugged tooth
It grinds and crushes all food it meets!
It was hidden in a deep, dark fossil.

Who did it belong to all those years ago?

In 2S we generated descriptive phrases to describe our object which was then used in a poem.

  1. WOW! we read Miley's writing and we were super impressed!
    We liked that she used powerful adjectives (mysterious).
    We also liked that it entertained us!
    Next time try to use a variety of words.
