Today in maths we learnt how we translate a shape, we described the shapes position then translated it. We also looked at how we reflect a shape across the x and y axis. Some great work MI 🙂

A new writing unit in MI
Today we started our new writing unit where we built lots of language to support our first plot point. We used the lenses well to build ideas 🙂
A great first day back in MI
We started our day with a morning task around formal and informal language and the children worked hard to unpick the questions, discussing their answers with a partner then voicing their thoughts. We built on this in our main grammar session where we thought more about Standard and Non Standard English.
In our arithmetic session we looked at misconceptions from our previous arithmetic paper then applied our knowledge to a variety of questions.
In our maths lesson we looked at coordinates across 4 quadrants. We took part in a range of activities plotting coordinates, finding coordinates and making shapes. We then applied our knowledge to some reasoning and problem solving questions which really challenged our thinking.

Character descriptions in MI
Today we used our chotting ideas from yesterday to start writing our plot point on our characters appearance. There was some great language being used along with figurative language 🙂
Chotting in MI
Today we started thinking about our next piece of writing, a character description. We focussed on the appearance of the character from our newspaper article, chotting lots of different language and vocabulary that we could use. We then started to think about figurative language and built some ideas in mini crews. We then applied some of the chotting we did to our own sentences. We will use these tomorrow when we start to write our plot point.
Written comprehension in MI
Today we explored a new text, answering a range of comprehension questions. Some of us even challenged ourselves further by pushing for green standard. A great reading lesson MI 🙂
