This week’s Star Writer is Joe, 3S, for the fantastic diary entry for the character Rhodopis. Joe included some fantastic sentence openers, ambitious vocabulary and diary features. He also thought very carefully about the character and made links with the story. This is a wonderful piece of work which Joe should be very proud of! Well done!
This week’s Star Writer is Louis, 4H, for the fantastic backstory he created for the main character in the book (Ice Palace). Louis included some fantastic sentence openers and ambitious vocabulary. He thought carefully about the possibilities of the character’s background and what his life could have been like, including lots of creative ideas. This is a wonderful piece of work which Louis should be very proud of! Well done!
This week's Star Writer is Iram from 5S who wrote a fabulous narrative about what happened next in Skellig. Iram's work was neatly presented, using lots of imagery to describe the setting and the events taking place in her story. Iram also included lots of modal verbs, subordinating clauses and direct speech. Well done, Iram!
Olivia in 6W has received star writer of the week for her super character description of Ebeneezer Scrooge. She used very mature vocabulary and included lots of year group expectations. She also re-drafted her work in parts to up-level sentences to improve on what she had already written. A brilliant piece of work which she should be very proud of.
This week’s Star Writer is Henry in DD. He has spent a lot of time practicing his phonics and is now able to use his learnt sounds to write simple words such as cup, hat, and bell. We used these words to write a list to Santa of some of the things we might like for Christmas. Henry even added his own sound buttons to show how the sounds make up each word! Well done, Henry, we’re proud of you.
Here is the star writer : Jacob from 2J
Jacob has spent lots of time working on a non-chronological report. In it he has written about four festivals we have in the Autumn. He included lots of detail, joining words, lists and a wide range of punctuation. All his capital letters and full stops were in the correctly place and he has been working very hard at trying to join his handwriting. He has also continued his learning at home by writing reports about things that interest him, such as the universe and space! Well done Jacob.
This week’s Star Writer is Holly from 3CM. After studying some of Aesop’s fables, Holly chose to base her fable on the tale of the Ant and the Grasshopper. In Holly’s version, The Bear and the Cat, Cat is a foolish creature who fails to prepare for the winter ahead. Bear tries to warn Cat but Cat doesn’t listen. Read the story to find out whether Bear takes pity on his fellow creature! Well done Holly, your teachers are very impressed by your impressive storytelling!
This week's Star Writer is Saoirse in 2H. She wrote some amazing instructions about how to make a healthy frittata, after cooking one in our Food Technology lesson. She set out her instructions clearly, including the list of ingredients, equipment and then ordered the steps with numbers. A range of 'bossy' verbs and super adverbs were included, as well as Saoirse's lovely presentation. Fantastic!
