Y5 - Lunar Landing
In Year 5, we have been learning about space and have been reading 'The First Lunar Landing' which was written by Rodney Martin. The book is a non-fiction text and explains all the steps and processes the astronauts had to go through before embarking on the Apollo 11 mission in 1969.
The children also watched clips of space shuttles being launched. They used the book and the video clips as a stimulus for writing their own descriptive paragraphs about a shuttle launch.

Year 3 - Prince of Egypt
Over the last two weeks, in Year 3, we have watched the Prince of Egypt film (the story of Moses) over a number of days, as well as sharing the reading of written version of the story, as a stimuls for writing.
As a class, we used Pie Corbett techniques to create our own storymap of the main events, re-telling the story verbally in pairs.Then, the children sequenced the story using pictures, connectives and some detail of the main events by independently creating their own storymap, to aid their extended writing.
This week, we have begun writing our story, focusing on using a wider range of sentence types. After reading the opening to the story again, we have written our own shared opening. The children have then independently written their own opening to the story. We will be continuing to write a shared, and independent part of the story each day - opening, build up, problem, resolution and ending - in order to develop use of paragraphs to move the story onto a new time or place.

The Dragon - adapted by Niamh Firmager
This poem was originally by Nick Toczek but has been adapted by Niamh Firmager in Y4
She's undeniably great, she's absolutely cool!
The dragon who ate, the dragon who ate, the dragon who ate our school!
She bit off the head of the Head and said she was sad he was dead,
He bled and he bled and he bled. Wow!
She's undeniably great, she's absolutely cool!
The dragon who ate, the dragon who ate, the dragon who ate our school!
She ate the bike shed and the lollipop lady's head, but
She's undeniably great, she's absolutely cool!
The dragon who ate, the dragon who ate, the dragon who ate our school!
