We made some oobleck to practice our cleaning skills, we made some salt dough to work on leaning our numbers and our sharing skills. We made some Pudsey bear faces and made him an eye patch using stickers to focus on our fine motor skills.
Crew Godley have worked incredibly hard on their first plot point today in writing. We have been exploring the text, The Polar Express. Today we’ve imagined we were waking up to the sound of the train outside of our window….
This Friday is our Non-Uniform Day in support of our Rainbow Raffle Prizes!
If your child would like to take part, please send in a coloured item that has been designated to your child’s crew.
Thank you for your support—we’re looking forward to seeing therainbow come together!
Crew Hamill loved making stars and christmas trees using twigs from our forest.
Lots of consolidation in magic maths today 🙂 We recapped some of the place value learning we had done back at the start of the year along with some problems around perimeter and statistics. Great work MI 🙂
Today we discussed cohesion within and between paragraphs. We spent some time unpicking different paragraphs on different extinct animals. We discussed TIDE, where we found the transition/introductory sentence, the we found the development sentences then moving onto the ending sentence. We used highlighters to show these different sections. We then focussed on the Tecopa pupfish again using TIDE to explore the paragraph. From here we grouped our facts into sections which will support us when we write our plot point.
We then moved onto modifying the different verbs in a paragraph with adverbials. We looked at a piece of text, identifying the verb/verb phrase, the subject and the leftovers. We quickly realised that the sentences were very simple and included lots of repetition. From here we used TRaMP yo modify an adverbial, thinking about time, reason, manner and place. We then moved the adverbials around to show different structures. We are looking forward to continuing with this tomorrow.
Today our crew challenge was rock, paper, scissors! We worked in groups of three, one person recording the score on whiteboards! We then swapped roles. The winners of the group then competed with each other until we had an overall champion 🙂 We loved this challenge! There was a real buzz in the classroom, lots of giggles and smiles and lots of encouragement.
In our experience lesson we pretended to be the three little pigs and built two different houses – a stick one and a brick one. We then tried to see if we could blow them down like the wolf.
In maths, we started to learn more about dividing. We got the concrete resources out and shared the blocks into equal groups! We really enjoyed doing this and could answer a variety of dividing questions!
Crew MI are beaming with pride with their final pieces of art work and we couldn’t be more proud of each and every member of our crew. Well done everybody 🙂
