In English, Year 3 have been writing biographies about the inspiring palaeontologist, Mary Anning. We remembered lots of key facts, included subordinating conjunctions and created exciting headings. ⁦@JcaWriting⁩

[Jerry Clay Academy @JCAWakefield]

Year 4 had a brilliant English lesson orally rehearsing their speech sentences for their own Greek myth. We focussed on the way the character would speak and how they would react @JcaWriting #Accomplishoracy #greekmyth

Year 1 published their first piece of writing today, they strove so high to write beautifully to publish their dragon passports! We are so proud - an amazing effort! @JcaWriting

Some lovely Art and Writing outcomes today in Year 2! The children worked hard on mixing tones to create their backgrounds as well as applying exciting prepositions in English to their character descriptions #JCAArt #JCAWriting

Year 3 used editing stations to improve their third person narratives on fossils. They worked exceptionally well, with their editing partner, when checking they had included features from each station. @JcaWriting

Year 1 have been inspired by our egg that hatched last week. This week we have focussed on describing “Sparkle Moon” using adjectives and writing accurate sentences! @JcaWriting

[Jerry Clay Academy @JCAWakefield]

Year 5 were brilliant at using a thesaurus to help them find synonyms for their adjectives. They then used their fantastic vocabulary to create a descriptive setting. @JcaWriting

[Jerry Clay Academy @JCAWakefield]

Year 1 have showcased their super striver attitudes today, achieving lots of the challenges presented to them! We are so proud! @JCANumeracy @JcaWriting

[Jerry Clay Academy @JCAWakefield]

In our writing session, Year 3 have been reading a book about fossils. The book has no words, this has meant that we have to make lots of inferences. Here are some of the brilliant ideas we have come up with. @JcaWriting @JCA_Reading

Year 1 loved reading their jungle animal fact files to Year 4 in the gorgeous afternoon sunshine! @JCA_Reading @JCAWakefield #readingforpleasure #writingforanaudience

[Jerry Clay Academy @JCAWakefield]

Year 1 have enjoyed researching and drafting their final written piece of the year, and using the internet to find images to put into their non-chronological reports as well! @JcaWriting @ComputingJca

[Jerry Clay Academy @JCAWakefield]

Year 5 are super proud of their writing today. We wrote about how NASA influenced attitudes on segregation, in particular on the Jim Crow Laws, and how this impacted the Space Race. @HistoryJca @JcaWriting @JCA_Science

[JCA Writing @JcaWriting]

Beautiful writing outcomes across the curriculum - great work Year 5! #writingopportunity

[Jerry Clay Academy @JCAWakefield]

Year 5 demonstrated fantastic enthusiasm in History. We researched the impact Katherine Johnson had on the Space Race and attitudes towards the Jim Crow Laws. @HistoryJca

Year 4 have loved starting our new unit in @re_jca. We have looked into what is important to us. The children showed fantastic respect towards others opinions and even questioned people’s thoughts #whatisimportant
