Big Talk

Here is the Big Talk image we will be using on Friday morning.

Illustrations for Jack and the Baked Beanstalk, written and illustrated by Colin Stimpson.

What can you see?

Which story do you think it's from?

Who are the characters?

What has just happened?

What will happen next?

Can you write a sentence about the illustration?

Big Write

Here are the wondeful pieces of writing from this week's Big Talk, Big Write activity.

Thank you for your support, the children are clearly benefitting from additional writing practise at home.

It's a Wonderful World Big Talk

Today we listened to Louis Armstrong sing the song "It's a wonderful world" 

Based on what they heard, the children drew what they imagined as he sang the words.

"I see trees of green"

"I see skies of blue and clouds of white"

"The colours of the rainbow so pretty in the sky"

We then looked at the illustrations from the book of the same name to compare with ours.

After, we went to the school garden to see if we could see and hear the same things from the song.

Daffodils 

Frogspawn

Red branches 

Skies of blue and clouds of white

Rainbow colour ball

A bee resting on the grass

Your Big Write activity is to write a sentence about what you can see or hear when you stand in your garden. I look forward to reading them.

Our first Big Talk sentence

Just look at these super sentences. I'm delighted the children have used phonic skills to sound out words. Sometimes the spellings the children write are not conventional but that is ok, often they haven't been taught that particular spelling pattern. 

This week we learned how to spell 'boy' and 'are'

Here are all the wonderful examples.

We are so proud of you!!!!
