The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse
The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse
This is our class novel for this term. We are excited to explore all of the different elements of the story.
We started by using inference and deduction when looking at the front cover. We tried to expand our questioning by adding additional information.
We started by using inference and deduction when looking at the front cover. We tried to expand our questioning by adding additional information.
After using inference and deduction, we used the Cwmlai question creator to deepen our understanding and questioning techniques by using a range of openers.
Our favourite questions included:
Where is the boys family?
Do the characters know eachother?
Who might get betrayed in the book?
During the first part of the book, the mole and the boy exchange lots of questions. Before reading the book, we answered the four questions from our own perspective.

After responding to the questions, we read the answers from the boy and the mole - and we were very surprised by their answers. Some of us decided that we were happy with our answers as they were unique but also reflected on if our answers were too literal.
How would you answer these questions?

Descriptive Language
Descriptive Language
We used a page from our class novel "The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and the Horse" and used descriptive language to describe the picture. We also used Alan Peat "Simile" and "Ad Same Ad" sentences. We then used "TAG" to peer assess.
We used SeeSaw to write Alan Peat BOYS descriptive sentences to uplevel our writing for descriptions.

Measuring body parts
Measuring body parts
We measured -
*Arm span
*Circumference of head
*Length of upper leg
*Length of foot
*Height
*Elbow to wrist
*Length of hand
*Knee to ankle
*Distance between shoulders
So much fun was had measuring different body parts and we learned how some body parts such as arm span needed more than just one person. We discovered that our arm span is the same as our height!
Group Reasoning
Group Reasoning
We have been developing our group reasoning skills by completing challenges as a team.
In order to be successful, we need to:
Listen to all team members;
Discuss and check all answers;
Communicate our findings effectively!
We have also began investigating problems in mistakes by finding out if the calculations are true or false! We need to use our reasoning skills to provide a logical reason for our problems.
We loved participating in the doubling and halving challenge in groups - using problem solving, perseverance and collaboration to succeed!

Persevere through any challenges that we may face - both whilst researching and completing the website,
Encourage each other to always complete the best work that we can!
Here are some of our websites...
Literacy - Remembrance Poems
Literacy - Remembrance Poems
We wrote acrostic poems for Remembrance this year. In order to collect our ideas and put ourselves in the soliders shoes, we watched 'In Flanders Fields' which had a slideshow of images from the war.
After collecting our ideas, we wrote our poems on Google Docs using sizzling vocabulary.
Following editing our poems, we used Adobe to create a video reciting our poetry!
Literacy - diary writing
Literacy - diary writing
As a class we looked at each of the characters from our class novel of "The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse" and studied the different emotions and feelings each character goes through and then created a grid of each emotion for each character.
We watched a clip from The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse and then decided what character we would be to write a diary. We highlighted our Alan Peat sentences, used sizzling language, a variety of punctuation, fronted adverbials and time connectives.
We challenged ourselves to use a range of punctuation and sizzling vocabulary to up-level our work!
We also used a range of Alan Peat sentences, fronted adverbials and time conjunctions!
