I can use headings and/or subheadings to organise my ideas.

I can start sentences with adverbials which express time.

  • Build something in your back garden (if you don’t have a garden you can do this in your living room). It could be a fort or a mini-allotment or a play area. The choice is up to you. Once you have completed your construction, take a photo of it and email it to the class email account. beech@st-barnabas.kent.sch.uk
  • Create a piece of writing which recounts the experience of building your construction. Make sure your writing includes headings/subheadings and adverbials which express time.
  • Read Mr M’s recount of his son Alfred’s birthday. Look closely at the red and light blue highlighted areas.
  • Watch the learning video for the following pieces of success criteria: https://youtu.be/F-pWxVe3yvs

I can use conjunctions to add clauses to my sentences.

I can use adjectives to create expanded noun phrases.  

  • What did you do for your last Birthday? Write a recount of it using:

-heading/subheadings

- adverbials which express time

-conjunctions to add clauses to your sentences.

-adjectives to create expanded noun phrases

Remember, we would love to read your recounts, so type them up/photograph them and send them to us via email. beech@st-barnabas.kent.sch.uk

IMPORTANT: If you find the bridging through 10 activity very challenging, do not worry! Just go back and practise the skills that support this technique:

-number bonds to 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 10

-using place value to add single digits to multiples of 10. e.g. 30 + 4 = 34
