Story Writing

Hello everyone,

Today, we are going to be doing our story writing. This video will probably be a bit longer than normal, so make sure to take a break in the middle if you are losing concentration or finding it tough. I am going to try and make it like we are in class doing writing together so remember to give yourselves about twenty to thirty minutes to do the writing, please don't spend hours and hours doing the writing because remember we want quality not quantity.

First, let's get all things we will need for today's lesson. You will need the Story Map Parts 1,2, and 3, the Success Criteria and you will need the word list. You can find those in your email or on class charts. Today's learning is called Story Writing. Pause the video now to collect the things you need.

Next, let's write our date and li. I hope you have a nice, sharp pencil for writing with as there's nothing worse than writing with a blunt pencil. Pause on the next screen, get that pencil nice and sharp and write today's LI.

Let's start by retelling the story again with our story maps. I've attached Aynie's story map to help you. I will try retelling the story myself using Aynie's story map. Pause on the next screen to get the story maps ready.

RETELL THE STORY USING AYNIE'S MAP

I don't know about you but I feel really confident that i know what happens in the story. Now, I am going to need to write down some key words that I will need for the story. Normally, in class, you would tell me what words you want and we'd spell them together but today I have given you a word list to help you. If there is anything missing from the word list, ask a grown-up to help you spell it. Pause the video now to read the word list.

Next, I should check the Success Criteria. Luckily, we made one together in our learning earlier this week. If you didn't watch Features of a Story now would be a great time to do so. Let's check the success criteria together to make sure we understand it all.

READ THE SUCCESS CRITERIA

The next stage is modelling. Normally, you would help me to make a good example of writing. I don't have you to help me today so it probably won't be as good. The video will change to show my screen next. I am using the word list and story map to help me write so make sure you do that too.

MODEL WRITING

Now, it's your turn. Remember to follow your story map, write in full sentences with capital letters and talk, write, check. I hope you have lots of fun doing your writing today, I can't wait to read it. You can email your work to the school email address or you can submit via class charts.

Have a great weekend and stay safe!
Mr Deller.

Hidden Adjectives

Hello everyone, Yesterday we looked at simple adjectives that are used to describe  or specify . Today, we are going to look at some adjectives that are a little bit trickier to spot. Have a look at my shoes. I'm sure you remember them from PE lessons as they are pretty hard to forget. There is a lot of adjectives to describe them; pink, bright, shiny, silver and there is also another adjective: running . Running looks like a verb and normally it is but in this example it describes the shoes by telling us what type they are; running shoes . There are lots of other examples; bowling ball, walking stick, climbing frame are all examples of use a word with an - ing suffix as an adjective . For your first challenge, have a look at the sentences below and see if you can spot the adjectives in them.  Warning! One is a trick! One of these sentences has no adjectives! 1. Bake a pie with cooking apples. 2. Don't fall off the climbing frame. 3. Make sure to wear

Apostrophes of Possession

Hello everyone, First of all, I'd like to say well done to Sarah, Ammar and Aynie for all the amazing work they've been doing! Today, we are going to learn about apostrophes of possession. We use an apostrophe of possession when we want to show that something belongs to someone. For example; we might say Aynie's homework, Ammar's learning or Sarah's effort. We simply put an apostrophe after the owner and then add an s. For your first challenge, think of something you know that belongs to someone you know and write a phrase using an apostrophe of possession. Here are some examples; CatMonkey's bowl Messi's boots Dragon's fire Sometimes, we can confuse apostrophes of possession and plurals. Remember: Plurals are when you have more than one of a noun and you never add an apostrophe to show more than one of a noun. For your second challenge; I've written some sentences. I would like you to add the apostrophe of possession to
