This morning we all took part in caring crew where we started to look at happiness and what this means to us. We all shared our thoughts with each other and challenged others to explain our ideas further. We then looked at a variety of happiness cards and we ordered them looking at which things make us the most happy to the things that make us the least happy. We discussed why we placed them where. From here, we thought about our top 3 happiness cards as a crew.

Crew MI designers!
Crew MI started case study three today in their expedition learning. Today we thought more about our final product and how we want this to look. We started our first draft designing our photo frame. We thought about the measurements needed and angles of each corner. We also thought about decorations we may add to our designs. Towards the end of the lesson we all took part in a gallery walk where we had a look at everyone else’s work. We thought about if the designs were fit for purpose and if measurements would work. We offered some critique around praises, notices and wonders. We will be building on this tomorrow.
Expedition Learning in Crew MI
Today we have continued to produce our Colombia posters, showcasing all the research we collected on Colombia. We have wrote about Colombia’s climate, where Colombia is in the world and The Andes. Children have made a fantastic start with these and we all all excited to continue working on these tomorrow.

Crew MI
Today we have started our next writing unit, a persuasive letter. We have unpicked a persuasive letter thinking about the features needed. We used coloured pencils to highlight emotive language, flattery, rhetorical questions, adverbials, facts/evidence and using the first person. We worked really hard in our pairs to support each other when reading the letter then finding the features together.
Yoga in Crew MI
We started off our day by taking part in a yoga session as part of our CREW. We all really enjoyed this!
Crew MI 11.2.22
In expedition lessons this week, we have been learning about Colombia. We have looked at human and physical features and even took a virtual tour using google earth. We have started to create our BBK grids so we can use all of this information to create a factfile. Watch this space for the finished pieces.
Have a great half term everyone and we will see you soon. Crew MI 🙂
Crew MI 8.2.22
We really enjoyed dressing up on Friday as Rockstars to play Timestable Rockstars. We are definitely getting better at our timestables. We even did a kahoot quiz and played some maths board games. It was really fun!
Science in MI
Today we looked at how animals can be classified. We thought about the difference between vertebrates and invertebrates and used classification keys to identify each one. We then sketched and labelled our invertebrates and thought about their features. We used our knowledge gained to think about similarities and differences between two of them.
Crew MI science lesson
We had a great lesson learning about plants. We actually dissected a flower so we could see the different parts and we labelled them. We learnt about pollination and even acted it out.
