In writing we have created our own story map to support our retell writing. We have broken the story into parts, wrote sentences/ captions for each and then drew images to remind us what happened during each part.

In our Writing lessons this week, we have started a new genre of writing called ‘Discursive Writing’. In one of our lessons we annotated a WAGOLL using our iPads to identify different features of the genre and Y6 produced some brilliantly annotated WAGOLLs! Keep up the good work…

We have used capital letters, finger spaces and full stops to correctly punctuate a sentence based on the speech of our characters. 

We have been really impressed this week with the amount of effort Year 5 have put into their writing! Keep up the hard work!

We have read and roleplayed the story Peace at Last by Jill Murphy to help us to understand the events and structure.

We have had a walk to the local park and taken the bear with us. We had lots of fun and so did the bear! When we got back to School, we realised that we had left the bear at the park! Oh no! 

This week in writing we have been focussing on using high level vocabulary to uplevel our work!

We have been very impressed this week with the independent writes Year 5 have produced, they have used some fantastic high level vocabulary!

This week we have been learning all about our families. Who is in our family?
We drew pictures from memory and with the support of some images from home of who is part of our family. 
We learnt everybody’s family is different. 

We have had lots of practise using capital letters, finger spaces, full stops and using our phonetical knowledge so today we have applied it to writing super words/sentences for our class text ‘This is the bear and the scary night’.

This week in writing, year 5 have been focussing on understanding what paragraphs are and how to use them; to make our writing more cohesive, by grouping ideas together.

We have begun our new class text called ‘This is the bear and the scary night’ 

We have enjoyed using actions and phrase to retell the story during our Talk For Writing lesson. Look at the story map we have created together as a class!
