Burns clan – Descriptive Writing

In Burns clan we identified what we already know about descriptive writing, as we completed our cold assessment. A cold assessment means we had no help from our champion and everything we wrote about was based on all our amazing and creative knowledge from previous learning. Our topic was ‘all about me’ and we used a variety of adverbs, nouns and adjectives to create fantastic pieces of writing.

On Thursday we created a descriptive piece of art work to match our writing, we included lots of interesting and unique descriptive things about ourselves.

Later in the week, we explored what adjectives, adverbs and nouns are as we identified them in a text using highlighters, we also created beautiful posters for our wall to remind us of their definitions.

Burns Clan

Burns Clan have had lots of fun learning new things about their clan mates and new champion.
We have discussed our goals and ambitions for the year ahead and what we and our champion can do to support us in achieving these. We created a time capsule to record these and will open it up at the end of the year to see how far we have come. We also created a clan charter and discussed the ways we can ensure everyone feels safe, secure, and respected in our clan.
In week 2, we practiced our writing and public speaking skills as we wrote and shared our speeches for pupil council. We demonstrated our respect for our clan mates as we listened carefully and showed encouragement as they shared their speeches.
 We also learned about the festival Raksha Bandhan, we discussed the meaning of the festival and the importance of it. Our clan mates who participate in the festival also shared the ways they celebrate Raksha Bandhan with their families.
On Friday of week 2, we demonstrated fantastic teamwork as we combined our interests and imagination to build an airbase using Kapla.
