Over the last few days we have been listening to extracts of ‘The Twits’ by Roald Dahl- more specifically the character profiles of Mr Twit and Mrs Twit. Today we began to write our own profile about Mr Twit. We have really enjoyed this as he’s such an unusual character.
Ask your child, why he is so unusual.

In English we have been finding out about the famous author Roald Dahl.
We began by writing down what we wanted to now about Roald Dahl (in the form of a question). Today we tried to answer our questions using the ipads and fact sheets.
Ask you your child what they have found out about Roald Dahl.

Today, during our Big Write session we wrote about our half term holiday. We talked as a whole class about what we needed to include to write a brilliant piece e.g. meaningful sentences, full stops and capital letters, good handwriting, adjectives (describing words), adverbs (action words e.g. quickly), connectives ( and, but, so, then) etc
The picture below shows an adult encouraging a child to use the key word spelling mat in her independent writing.

We have been following instructions for various activities and looking at how the instructions are presented ( ‘bossy’ verbs, numbering, pictures etc). We will then move onto writing instructions for the scones we have made over the past few weeks.
