Following instructions

We can follow a set of instructions to make a sandcastle! This will help us write our own this week.

Y3 Jemison have worked together to highlight the key features of a diary to prepare for writing our own entries inspired by our class text Mufaro’s Beautiful Daughter. We spotted features such as fronted adverbials, writing in first person and including feelings and know why they are important for this type of writing.

Traditional Tales

We have explored good and evil characters and settings. We used the suggested character and setting types to help us choose who we would like to see in our own stories.

Character voices!

We are really enjoying our text ‘George’s Marvellous Medicine’ by Roald Dahl. We are working hard to use our voices in different ways for different characters to bring the text to life.

A mystery object…

We discovered a mystery object in our classroom today: a high heeled shoe! We tried to describe the item just by feeling it and made guesses about what it could be. Then we thought of some questions we could ask about the show using the question words ‘who, what, when, where and why’.
