Today’s live lesson will help with editing your story.
- Your first task today is to read your story. You can read it to yourself or read it out loud.
- Use your success criteria from yesterday to check if there is anything you can add to improve your writing.
- The first thing you might want to check is your punctuation. Have all your sentences got full stops and capital letters in the right places.
- Make sure your writing makes sense. Does is sound right when you read it? If not, try writing the sentence out again so that it makes sense.
- Next you could have a look for your verbs, have you used an adverb to give the reader more information? If not, could you add an adverb.
- Have you used adjectives to describe your characters and your setting?
You don’t have to write over the top of your writing, you could write below your story in a different colour.

PE
Over the next few weeks you are going to choreograph and perform your own Iron Man dance.
Today you are planning the first part of your dance. I want you to think about the first chapter of The Iron Man. He falls off the cliff and falls to pieces. Then, when he is fixed, he wades into the sea.
Focus: Big, slow movements. Twisting, reaching spiralling.
Warm up: for 5 minutes run or walk around the room or your garden changing shape as you go. You can do whatever movements you like, you could reach up high, touch the floor, roll, jump, and repeat.
Lesson: Plan and practise four movements that represent The Iron Man in the first chapter.
(For example: twisting could represent him falling, crawling could represent him looking for his body parts. Standing tall and making giant steps could represent him wading into the water and jumping up high could represent him peeping over the waves. Be as creative as you want, these are just ideas, you plan whatever moves you feel represents The Coming of The Iron Man.)
You could make notes to remember your 4 moves.
Practise them in sequence to the music. Listen to the music and try to make your moves match the beat. Repeat the sequence and try to change from one move to the other smoothly. You could even add a still image for a few seconds, like we used in drama earlier in the week.
Here is the link to the music, I hope you like it:)
