Using Question Marks
21.-3.19
Today in English we focused on correctly punctuating our sentences when asking a question. We first discussed when we used questions and Mrs Burlison modelled using a question mark at the end of a question. We then worked in teams to write a questionnaire about reading. We then came back as a whole class to write a class questionnaire. We made sure that all of our questions were punctuated with a question mark.

We discussed what we liked and how we could improve.

Conscience Alley

We began to read the beginning of the story ’There’s a Pharaoh in our Bath’. Children were asked to predict what the story might be about. Then the children played ‘Conscience Alley’, one group said why the pharaoh should be woken up and other group why he shouldn’t. Everyone enjoyed putting their point of view forward.
