Writing group sessions

• We are learning how to write an explanation
• We are learning how to participate & contribute in a group

Today we started to learn how to write an explanation. We looked at 2 different examples, and then wrote one together as a class. The students were then put into mixed ability groups and had to write an explanation on "how to have a fun birthday party". 

Living things and measurement:

How many C6 students are the same height as an oak tree? We measured ourselves and added together, all together including Miss Bridgeman we were 2,888cm. 20 C6 students together = 2,453cm which is the closest to the average height of an oak tree 2,400cm.
This was a great learning activity to introduce measurement and continue our learning of oak trees.

Little Red Riding Hood in C6!

• We are learning to re-tell a story in the correct sequence
• We are learning to work cooperatively in a group

Today in C6 we listened to the story "Little Red Riding Hood". We then got into groups and had to work together to write down the characters names, and the sequence of the story; what happened first, next, and last. We then did a play in our groups and acted out the story, with a few brave groups performing to the class! Our next step is to re-tell the story in our writing books independently.
