Non-Fiction Writing

22/10/2021

0 Comments

 
Over the past few weeks, the Tawny Owls have been reading a non-fiction book called, Our Local Area - Transport. On Monday, we went for a walk around the village looking at and discussing all the different landmark buildings there are. We then planned and wrote our very own non-fiction text based on this. During our Geography lesson on Wednesday, we produced a map of the village to go with it. Today, we put all the pieces together and came up with some fantastic end of unit leaflets. All of the children should be incredibly proud of their efforts, I know I am!

Their art aims to raise awareness of water and climate change. The children carefully considered how to express important messages through their art.

Bridestowe Bakers!

As part of our learning about instructions, we followed a recipe to make apple crumbles. We used the apples from harvest which Mr Hill and Mrs Davies kindly donated to us. For some of us, using the peelers was a new skill to master. We used our maths skills to carefully measure the ingredients. We will use our experience to write our own instructions complete with helpful hints and sequenced photographs.

We are very proud of everyone who had the courage and ambition to put themselves forward for the post of School Councillor. The campaign speeches were confidently presented. Children drew on key issues such as all children having their voice heard, wellbeing and our school values of respect, ambition and flourishing together. We look forward to sharing the election results with the children on Friday.

We all walked over the the Methodist Church Hall on Friday morning for a wonderful and very inspiring performance and workshop by the Kyan String Quartet.
The four musicians each demonstrated their stringed instruments: two violins, a viola and a cello. We listened to their rousing music, and their conductor helped us to interpret the music by Haydn and Britten, with some more modern compositions as well.
