In Year 1 and Year 1/2 this half term, the children have been impressing us with their use of the ‘magic pencil’ to help them capitalise and punctuate their writing. In addition to this, we have been doing lots of brilliant work on main clause sentences (M sentences) and using colourful semantics to reinforce this, playing lots of games around structure and vocabulary. Below is an example of a classroom toolkit and chalkboard; we aim for our Writing displays to be clear, visual and accessible for our learners so that they can use what is on there day in, day out. Well done to Mrs Barnes, who uses her classroom space so incredibly well! We really value our environments at ACE.
