We had great fun in maths yesterday. We learnt how to read, write and plot co-ordinates so we put all of this into practice and played Battleships!
Mental health – 8/6/22
A massive thank you to Mr Ibbotson who took the time to come and be our expert about mental health.
During his talk, he explained about mental health, how we can look after it and the impact to our daily lives if we don’t take care of ourselves.
The children had lots of questions to ask which helped their understand and develop their knowledge. Amazing to have an expert on hand to help us.
Independent writing in MI
Today children finished their independent writing and we are blown away by what they have produced. They have worked so hard by having a positive attitude towards their learning and trying their best even when things were challenging. They used their planning sheets well to support their writing. Also they have worked on the get smart howl by ensuring they produced beautiful work they are proud of. We will now start editing and redrafting our work so it is even better! Keep it up MI 🙂
Maths in MI
We have been working hard on our arithmetic skills 🙂
COJO and Team Building in MI and Boswell
We had fun creating a human alphabet and enjoyed our COJO!
First Steps into First Aid – 23/05/22
As part of our expedition ‘How can a healthy lifestyle impact our body and mind?‘ we took part in some basic first aid training today. We practised skills such as putting an unresponsive casualty into the recovery position; how to assess a casualty using DR ABC; and even how to safely perform abdominal thrusts (or the Heimlich manoeuvre) to dislodge something blocking the airway. The bit that surprised us all though was how tiring (and hard) chest compressions were, especially when doing them for a minute!
Monday 23rd in Crew MI
Children concentrating on their books via accelerated reader 🙂 Some great reading by all in Crew MI.
Crew MI 20th May
What a great week it has been… Crew MI have worked extremely hard this week and have done some new and exciting things.
This week we broke a world record by joining in with a Timestable Rockstars challenge. We joined schools from across the country in a dance warm and timestable challenge. Check out these moves…
In science this week we have been very busy learning about the circulatory system. We even got to actually dissect a heart. It was fascinating to actually see in real life all that we had learnt about the heart and be able to identify the different parts. We then acted out the journey our blood takes around the body.
Our HOWLs have also really improved this week which we are all really proud of. Have a great weekend everyone 🙂
Independent writing in MI
Over the last 2 days children have been busy planning and writing their first plot point for their independent writing. This is a diary entry and children have taken on the role of a character from the narrative we are reading in our reading lessons- Pig Heart Boy. They have used their target grids effectively to apply a range of features and the plot point they have produced is of real quality! I can’t wait to read plot point 2!
Our crew howl score today has also been one of our highest yet! 3.4! I still think we can improve this further!
Crew MI Reading Cafe
On Thursday, we had a lovely morning at the Reading Cafe. We have started our new book ‘Pig Heart Boy’ and read the first two chapters with ‘cuppa a biscuit’
