Week 9
__Recount__


 * Personal recount - this could be from the weekend or last holidays or even imaginative! You will be publishing your recount to your wiki writing page - and working with a buddy to edit it**


 * Monday - the initial drafts were completed and about 10 had been published to the writing wiki

> //I note that a couple of chn went home and edited their writing from home//
 * Tuesday - everyone completed their publishing to the wiki

__Reading__
 * Reading - You will be asked to go to another blog site and read a post from it - then you will draft a response to the post you read and post it for the children who wrote the post to read**

> //Need to get groups to note which blogs they've commented on for my reference// > //Need to remind groups to sign their posts.//
 * Tuesday - looked at a blog as a whole class and commented on it then as groups

__Language attack__
 * We're concentrating on nouns, verbs & adjectives and we will be doing some whole class & individual work & some group work with the magnetic words**

> //Probably should have waited for a whole class run through//
 * Tuesday - did some work with early finishers


 * Thursday - worked through an online story - read it to the class then modelled the nouns/pronouns then assigned 2 pages to each group

__BBC Typing__
 * Continuing on with typing practise - the long term goal is to be able to type without looking at the keyboard!!**

Week 8
__Recipe for an Island Holiday__


 * Brainstorm in groups on the whiteboards what you might take with you on an island holiday and then publish to brainstorm page in wiki.**



>> //approx timing= 10mins SSR/20mins draft writing/30mins 1st activity/30mins 2nd activity//
 * Draft a recipe using format given (in draft writing books) then go on to group activities**


 * This worked well except for the timing - took longer to go through the writing task
 * 3 groups ended up publishing their lists to the wiki
 * voicethread worked well
 * whole class wordle was brilliant - each student contributed their top 5 things to take with them and we narrowed down our list of 135 words to the top 6 words using the wordle


 * Complete Wordle**




 * Whittled down Wordle**




 * Work in groups to draft a phrase for each of the six words**


 * Gained class consensus on which phrase to use
 * Published to blog along with a copy of the final wordle and the voicethread
