Handwriting We are going to continue with our handwriting and letter formation this week, with a focus on ascenders and descenders, so that we can apply them correctly in our writing tasks. Can you remember these from last week? Ascenders are letters which are taller. Descenders are letters which go below the line. Can you say the phonemes and graphemes for each of these ascenders and descenders? Can you write them correctly? Where does your pencil need to start?

GPAS We are going to be recapping our knowledge of all taught GPa. S so far. Let’s see how many we can remember!

Let’s see how much of our previous learning we can remember! Can you unscramble the stepping stones to create a sentence that makes sense? Read it back to yourself to check. Check which letter is a capital so that you know which word starts your sentence and which word has a full stop at the end, so you know how the sentence finishes. Can you say or write the new sentence that you have created? I P. E was running in my My P. E was running in my lesson. Does my sentence make sense? lesson.

Writing – Lesson 4 Today we are going to be editing and improving our story. We will be using our purple polishing hat today to help us with this task. We will need our drafting sheets from Lesson 2 and 3 in front of us today. If you do not have a purple pen, please do not worry, you can add any changes to your work in pencil.

This is my example from Lesson 2, the first part of my story. The first thing we need to do, is check it for capital letters, full stops and finger spaces. Can you do that with your work now?

This is my example from Lesson 3, the last part of my story. Again, we will need to check it for capital letters, full stops and finger spaces. Can you do that with your work now?

Next, we need to re-read our work to make sure that it makes sense. Did we write all of the sounds that we could hear in our writing? Try reading it out loud to someone in your house – even to your pets! Do you need to add in any extra letters or words? Sometimes when we are working hard on our writing and concentrating, we forget to write down all of the letters in our words. All authors do this but use their purple thinking hats to make their work even more amazing! Use this time to check your work today. Maybe you would like to change some of your words – you might have written the word sad but could have used upset, annoyed or even angry instead. We will be publishing our work tomorrow, so please use today to check over your work.

We can also check that we have spelt unfamiliar words correctly by checking them against our word banks. Can you see here that I have written the word sudenly instead of suddenly – I can add the letter “d” to my work to improve it. I could add a capital letter here, or an apostrophe here. Just as Red Riding Hood was “To see my poorly Grandma” replied The lion ran fast through the woods skipping along the path, she Red Riding Hood. “I know the way and knocked on grandma’s door. heard a noise. Sudenly, a “d” to your Grandmas cottage dear, huge, scary lion leapt out I will go on ahead and check on and roared loudly. “Where are her for you.
