The children used the pictures from the story Whatever next! to sequence the story from beginning to end. They used words like beginning, middle and end and characters. We really focused on the story and retelling it in our own words once we had sequenced it correctly. 

We used 'Talk for Writing' to retell our Treasure Book story, Whatever Next! We thought of pictures to draw for each part of the story and added actions to help us retell it in our own words.

This week, in reading, we have started reading our new non fiction text all about sharks. Year 5 have really engaged with this text, it has been lovely to see!

We have begun our new class text called ‘This is the bear and the scary night’

Today, during our celebrations for World Book Day we shared stories with Year 6. We loved our buddy reading time and can’t wait to do it again soon. 

We finished the day with hot chocolates and biscuits, they went down a treat. 

This morning for World Book Day we have been looking at the story Matilda. We drew our favourite character from the text and used our iPads to animate them and bring them to life. We had so much fun doing this and the result was fantastic. Look out for the video to follow!
