All children engaged immediately - able to move on

Continual use of rhetorical questions to engage - capture children, allows thinking time.

DIfferent ways of saying 'good morning' using different voices. Personification of Mr Walker, camera and Mr Long Nose.

Modelling of language - similes 'eyes as big as dinner plates' Activity to generate conversation and engage children.

Why does Mr Walker have holes? Snorkle... Recorder... Flute... can you take the ends off? Habitat... To knock on people's door...

Tim stops the children informally and discourages them from putting their hands up while he is talking to avoid 'draining their thoughts'.

Give a ripple to prevent the children clapping too loudly.

Exploration of the children's ideas, developing them and fuelling the children's excitement. Sniper holes Portable shower Portable insect carrier - block of flats

Virtual World

Tim invites the children to explore their senses through the image provided. What can the children see, smell, hear etc?

Empty cup of coffee?

introducing the children to new vocabulary eg subliminally and explaining what it means - provides children with the opportunity of extending their own vocabulary

2013-10-17 09:20:00 UTC

Claire/Natasha..Standing here, I could hear the sky growling angrily like a vicious predator. Lightning thrashed around the sky, creating contrast as darkness turned to light. A flickering candlelight danced wildly against the backdrop of the towering column. The ground trembled fearfully beneath my feet.

2013-10-17 09:22:01 UTC

effect of starting the children to write and then stopping them...

I have changed the layout to 'stream' to tidy it up. Hope this helps.

Desperately searching for life, the warmth of the light gave some hope.

2013-10-17 09:54:11 UTC

Claire/Natasha

Invitation for the children to make predictions...

2013-10-17 10:00:37 UTC

Loved the countdown to writing...the children were desperate to write after that!

Good explanation of how to rephrase a sentence to retain the same meaning, but express it in a more interesting way.

Hotseating of secret character

2013-10-17 10:03:19 UTC

like the use of the x...box !

2013-10-17 10:05:38 UTC

Role play to continue to engage children. Development of 1st person, immerses children in environment. "Am I safe here?"

2013-10-17 10:14:59 UTC

thinking dice gives children alternative question starters

2013-10-17 10:15:25 UTC

quality of questioning steadily improved

2013-10-17 10:15:26 UTC

Children role playing developed their ideas as confidence grew, questions enabled them to create the 'story'

2013-10-17 10:15:58 UTC

introduction of vocabulary

2013-10-17 10:16:48 UTC

I'd like you to have a go at it...it's hard!

Natasha/Jane

2013-10-17 10:26:16 UTC

All children moving to find new partners - translatorsaurus....hotseating

2013-10-17 10:29:24 UTC

Really like the group of three idea with one acting as translator, one the questioner and the other the being.

role of translator challenging for some children
