This week we have been continuing with our work on our book 'Where the Wild Things are' and have been using our storymap and some actions to help us retell the story - including the punctuation!

Why not have another practice at home over the weekend!

We have also been working on our descriptive writing and have been thinking about how the characters might be feeling at different times in the story and about how we can use interesting words to help us describe the settings and characters. We have had some absolutely brilliant writing this week and Year 1 have impressed me by challenging themselves to try to use commas and expanded noun phrases in their writing!

This earned Lily C a place in the Golden Book this week - I was blown away by your lovely descriptions Lily, well done!

We finished our week by discussing what we thought a 'rumpus' was - we decided we thought it was a bit like a party or a parade and then about what we might do, see and hear at a rumpus.....

.....before creating our own, complete with music and dancing!!! Great fun!

Home Learning

Your home learning for this week is to complete the activity about the story 'Where the Wild Things are' - please do not rewrite the whole story, the template (in your home learning books) is designed to just record the key details of the story.

Please see me if you need another copy of the template:
