Spring 2 - Team CB

The class focus for writing this half term has been on children in Team CB constructing a news report based on a new hybrid animal discovered in the sea. This focus for writing links to their text driver, All the way down – Ocean. The class loved the opportunity to read and learn more about newspapers and how they are structured. The children could identify both layout and text features and worked hard to refine grammar skills around using prepositions and adverbs to describe in detail as all this would provide additional information to the reader. The class also revisited speech briefly so that quotes could be used effectively. When constructing their own work, the class planned strategically and in chronological order to support with their recount of the event. These published works will feature in the Summer newsletter for pupils and parents to enjoy and inform their understanding of these new species.
