This week we have been story planning and writing in English.
We are getting ready for our parent event next week (Friday 20th October 2:45-3:15) by writing our stories. We planned the story and included expanded noun phrases and new vocabulary we have been looking at. When planning our stories, we drew story maps and told our talk partners our stories.
English has been fun this week. We have been exploring our focus picture book of ‘Journey’ by using the front cover to predict what we think the story will entail. We also explored new vocabulary and used a dictionary to find the definitions of words we were unsure of. Using colourful semantics, the children created word banks using adjectives to describe the settings of the illustrations on the pages inside the story. We will be using these to support us in writing our setting descriptions.

We practised editing our writing by reading it back to ourselves and checking the spelling of year one common exception words. We then finished teh week by publishing our writing. This is where we were able to focus on our handwriting and make sure we were forming letters correctly, using finger spaces, capital letters and full stops.
