Class 10 have been preparing for their next independent piece of writing by looking at features of a non-chronological report. They were trying identify the variety of conjunctions, fronted adverbials and facts that they could see! Class 10 collaborated superbly well to find these features and were able to feed them back.
Here are some pieces of wonderful writing from Class 10 this week in their non-chronological reports about the Romans in Doncaster!
On our first day back after half term, Class 10 have worked together on column method and more specifically, Class 10 have been working on exchanging the extra 1. We had some of our expert coaches who were confident with this and made great teachers to the rest of the class! It was lovely to see such hard work and confidence from Class 10 in this ready to continue to work hard on in the future!
This afternoon we took 10 minutes during accelerated reader to read for pleasure. Some of us found a book we were really enjoying in accelerated reader which was great, but others chose books from the book shelves that they wanted to read and for the whole 10 minutes the class were so engaged in reading. I even got to finish a book I had been reading too! It is so beautiful to hear the children reading and getting so stuck in to their books.
Thank you, class 9!
This afternoon, Green Top have completed the great teacher swap! Mr Taylor read to Class 10 and they absolutely loved their story time. Thanks Mr T from Class 10! 😆
Well, it is safe to say that Class 10 loved their trip to the library this morning! We loved the walk and the fresh air to get there. More importantly, we loved exploring the library and reading and looking at lots of different books. Some of us even squeezed into the tightest spots to read a good book. We had lots of fun!
Today, Class 10 have been learning about the life of a Roman soldier. We even learned the Latin names of items like a sword, helmet and shield amongst others. We learned that there was some positives of being a Roman soldier such as you are well fed and get equipment provided. However, there were negatives as well with the main one being that you could be killed!
Class 10 loved their time practising their passing skills with Coach Kyle.
We were really impressed with how well we did and the control we showed with our technique!
Class 9 used some pictures of the Roman Empire to practise using question marks. We looked at the pictures and got our thinking caps on, what did we want to know about these images? We used the silent discussion protocol to ask questions to find out more about what we could see and what went on in Roman times!
We had a great time on our trip! Check out this video to see what we got up to 😆
