Bits and Bobs from week 2

Year 1
This week we have written our own narrative based on How to Catch a Star by Oliver Jeffers. We changed our story to feature a little girl, who is afraid of the dark, on her journey to catch the moon.

Below are photos of Gabriela's whole story. She used some initial ideas but wrote the story on her own.

Here is Ivo's amazing problem, resolution and ending:

First she tried dad's rocket boots. She put them on her feet and switched it on and flew into the sky. But it ran out of fuel so she crasht back down. Next she tried getting mum's puwrful shooting bow and arrow but it kood not reach the silvery moon.
Suddenly she sees the moon in the pond so she grabt a fishing net and grabt the moon. "Yes finily I grabt the moon!" She estaticaly screamed. She did not know that it was a paper mashae moon with a light bul in it. "

Linking to our space theme, we learnt about the history of space travel. We put significant trips into space onto a time line. Here is some writing about Neil Armstrong, the first man to land on the moon, alongside Buzz Aldrin.

2D has been looking at adjectives to describe people. We wanted to see how each person in our class thought of a word differently. One of the words we looked at was beautiful. The children needed to use anything they could find outdoors to represent this word.

Ewan, Mark and Massimo worked in a team and created a princess doing ballet.

 

"When Miss Denny said the word beautiful my team immediately thought of a princess but we didn’t think it was good enough. We changed our idea to a princess doing ballet because ballet is just as beautiful as a princess."
-Ewan

 

Ashwin, Krish and Pratik created an image of a tree.

 "We picked to create a tree because nature is beautiful and some plants have very beautiful flowers."
-Ashwin

 

See you next week!
