In today's English lesson, the children began by focusing on sentence accuracy, where they practised using adverbs of time, place, and cause before writing their own sentences using these skills. They then recapped their main vehicle text, looking at the illustrations and discussing how the keeper looked after Sheila the elephant during the war, while exploring Sheila's feelings about the aeroplanes and the keeper's return. After exploring and learning new vocabulary from the text the children read an example text titled The Elephant's Diary: A Visitor from the Past. This "WAGOLL" (What a Good One Looks Like) helped them understand their upcoming writing purpose: to write a reflective diary entry in the first person from Sheila's perspective. Finally, the children applied what they had learnt by writing their own sentences in the first person as Sheila, combining their new vocabulary with the adverbs of time, place, or cause practised at the start of the lesson.
