English

Year 1 have been busy practising reading and spelling the 100 common exception words they are learning. They have tested each other, written them in different ways and played games to support this.

Year 1 have started their new writing journey this week. It is based on the book Winnie and Wilbur under the sea. Today the children worked collaboratively to create story maps. They will use these tomorrow to retell the story using sentences and actions.

Year 1 have been very busy writing instructions about how to plant beans! The children worked hard to order the instructions carefully and use bossy adjectives to help make their writing clear!

In our writing lesson today, the children practised their instructional language by creating a video on how to plant a bean. They then used their own instructions to plant up their own beans that they have been growing in science.
