Autumn 2 - Team JF

This half term, Team JF have truly shone in their writing journey, inspired by their class text driver The Tin Forest. Their creativity, imagination, and growing technical skills have been a joy to see! They began by making their very own tin birds. Not only did the children enjoy crafting these unique creations, but they also wrote clear and thoughtful instructions to teach Team CH about how to make their own. What fantastic teachers they became! Next, the children turned their attention to descriptive writing. Using rich expanded noun phrases, they brought to life the two contrasting forests from The Tin Forest — one dull and lifeless, the other bursting with colour and growth. Their words painted pictures so vivid, you could almost step right into the page. Alongside their creative work, Team JF have worked hard to strengthen their grammar skills. They practised adding the suffixes es, ed, and ing to a variety of root words, building confidence in spelling and sentence construction.
