ENGLISH - to create a descriptive setting

 This week in Year 6, we will be introducing DADWAVERS to help us organise our ideas and sentence structures - creating our own ‘Slow Write’. 

Having a picture of a scene, the children worked through different sentence starts such as verbs, adverbs, estimation of time, action etc… to write about the picture before them. Using the Ninja writing books, they could find the best words to complete the descriptions.

They were able to edit and improve each sentence in turn if necessary before starting to write it out as a passage in their books.

 This term the children will be studying South America. Here is a copy of their journey.  During the first part of the lesson, the children recapped the different lines of latitude and longitude they have learnt throughout key stage 2.

Once this was understood, the children identified the latitude and longitude for different places on the world map.
