Sharing Work - Instructions and Collages

Today children from Miss Haskew's class at Scargill Infants shared two topics from their class work with Mrs Dorling's class at Parkhill Juniors.
In the first topic the children had been writing instructions and they read their work about how to go home after school and also their instructions for making a milkshake.

They had written detailed instructions in a logical order and they read these very confidently.

The Parkhill pupils were able to these questions about the work:-

What did you put first on your instructions?
Did you test your instructions to see if they worked?
How did you organise your writing?
What was difficult about writing the instructions?
Why did you choose the instructions?

The Scargill pupils gave very detailed answers to the questions and explained that they used a toolkit to help them with their work. The wrote the titles first and then had to remember to use bossy words when doing their writing. They tested out their instructions and had even made a milkshake in class.

For the second topic Miss Haskew's class then showed beautiful cut out paper caterpillars that had been decorated with coloured tissue paper.

The Parkhill children asked them:-

Why did you choose a caterpillar?
What did you use to make it?
How did you make it?
Was the caterpillar work fun?

The children explained that they had been reading the story of "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" and had used the pictures in the book to help them design their caterpillar, looking carefully at the colours in the book.

Everyone really enjoyed the session and in January the two classes will link again when Mrs Dorling's class will be able to show their work.

The children had lots of comments about the video conference and these can be read in the comments section below.

    Well done Miss Haskew and your class for showing us your wonderful work. You all spoke very clearly to the camera and gave some very detailed answers to our questions. Everyone at Parkhill really enjoyed the link and we can't wait to meet up again in the New Year to show you our work.

    Thank you very much for your kind comments about Class 4 and their work. They were all a little scared about talking in front of you all but they all said they loved it by the end. We look forward to sharing more work with you in the future.
    Miss Haskew, Class 4, Scargill Infants
