Writing Friendship Letters.
All of the children in Amber class are very good friends. They have particularly bonded over the last 3 weeks.
Each child chose the name of a peer in Amber close and wrote a friendship letter to them, detailing what they like about them and why they are a good friend.
Each child then shared the letter they had written by reading it aloud to the person they had written it to and to the class. To do this each child sat on our THRONE OF GLORY with our incredible crown on their head.
AMAZING AMBER CLASS!
Reading my friendship letter to the class...
Hello wonderful parents and children.
Amber class have had an awesome first half term so far and have been doing lots of wonderful learning. Our topic is 'All About Me', our English story is 'The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch' and in maths we have a different focus each week (number, shape, measure).
Things have been a little 'different' for Amber class as Jacqueline their teacher has been teaching them remotely using google classroom. The children have LOVED this and enjoyed the engaging technological features which they are being taught with.
Every lesson the 'random name chooser' tool selects a child to be the 'Tiny Teacher' and to help Jacqueline in the classroom to organise and instruct each of their peers where to sit and what equipment they need. Manners are everything and each child is very good at saying please and thank you to their peers.
Every Monday, Amber class have a focussed writing lesson. First they share their weekend news in talking partners. Each child then shares the weekend news of their partner to ensure they were actively listening. Jacqueline then shares her weekend news model which the children help to punctuate and identify different word types (adjectives, onomatopoeia, nouns etc). The children then work one to one with an adult to write their news. They have a checklist of features and punctuation to include: capital letters, full stops, full name, adjectives, two adjectives together separated by a comma, onomatopoeia words, and, because, ?, ! . They are fantastic at writing their weekend news.
Amber class have also been doing lots of speaking and listening skills activities. This has been extra challenging for them as when Jacqueline 'hides' the screen, they can only hear her voice therefore cannot lip read to help them. Amazing listening skills!
Below are some photos to show the amazing learning, work and screenshots of some of our lessons.
Wonderful Lessons, Learning and Work.
