Year 6 News by Ben Mills
Learning in 6C
In Year 6 this term, students are writing a diary entry that connects with the reader’s emotions. To inspire their diary writing, students are taking on the characters from episodes within the ‘My Place’ series. They watch an episode, then write a diary entry from the perspective of the main character.
This week I visited 6C during a lesson on including verbs into their diary writing that show what a character is feeling. 6C explored and generated examples of doing, thinking and feeling verbs to enhance their diary entries. To do this, Miss Curran used digital tools to collect and organise student’s thinking and ideas.
By the end of the lesson, 6C were able to successfully include carefully chosen verbs to describe an event at a point in time that helped connect with the reader’s emotions. Excellent work 6C!
