Keeping Ourselves safe

At school we have been learning how to keep ourselves safe. Constable Jos and Terri have been helping us with this learning. Here are some the things I have learnt.

Jack and the Beanstalk Summary

Play Summary - Term 3 Weeks 1-2

For the next two weeks you are working in groups to practise and perform a
play. This is using our oral language and reading skills in literacy. Our key
competency focus is participating and contributing.

For writing your task is to summarise the main events in your play in three
paragraphs. You must plan your writing first but it is up to you how you do your
\ planning.  You must also write a fourth paragraph about your experience of
practising and performing your play.

I am learning to plan my writing to suit the purpose of my writing.

I am learning to organise my ideas into paragraphs where the ideas are clearly related and where there are links within and between paragraphs.

I am learning to use basic punctuation accurately in my writing.

I am learning to use complex punctuation to enhance my writing e.g. colons : and
semi-colons ; , and parentheses ().

Success Criteria

I will be successful when I can/have

-summarised the play in three paragraphs

-made links across my paragraphs

-used some basic and complex punctuation correctly (speech marks).

Once you have finished your writing highlight these success criteria green if you have met them
and can show them in your work. Highlight green in your work where you have met these
success criteria.

                Jack and the Giant Beanstalk

There was a boy called Jack who lived with his mother and they were poor.
His mother sent him on a mission to sell the cow. On the way to the market he
spots a fine man, who asks Jack if he wants some magic beans for the cow.
Jack accepts the trade.

When he got home his mother was cross with his trade and she sent him up
to his room and she threw the beans out the window. Next minute there was
a giant beanstalk outside Jacks window. Jack runs outside and starts
climbing it. When he got to the top he saw a giant castle. Jack heard a
noise a went to hide. “Fee, fi, fo, fum” x2 said the Giant. The Giant sat down
and went to sleep. While the giant’s asleep Jack spots a golden harp and a
hen that lays golden eggs. Jack takes these things and starts to run for the
beanstalk. The giant wakes up and starts to chase Jack.

Jack’s mother chopped the beanstalk down and Jack jumped onto the hay
field below and the Giant was never seen again. Jack and his mother had the
golden egg laying chicken and the harp. And they lived happily ever after.

When our group practised we were not focusing on what we were supposed
to be doing. But we managed to work things out and get on with reading our
script and doing our play. Things I need to improve on is being more confident
next time we do a play.
