Another busy day in crew MI!

Children have created some fantastic writing today. They have thought about their gold standards and applying the features to their writing. Some children have even hit their green standard. They used their chotting ideas from the experience day yesterday to really think about the lenses they were writing through and linked these to their gold standards.

Children have also enjoyed our expedition lesson where we thought more about human and physical features of Geography. Children grouped different pictures explaining their views as to why it was human or physical. From here children used maps and atlases to think more about the continent of South America.

Our HOWL scores have really improved too! Let’s keep this up Crew MI!

We have had a really fun couple of days in Crew MI. We have been reading on Myon and taking our Accelerated Reader quizzes. This a great way for us to improve our fluency and comprehension skills. We have also been battling Crew Boswell and Crew Shields on Timestable Rockstars and have even been practising our arithmetic skills on a kahoot quiz.

Have a great weekend!

Crew MI have produced some great work in expedition over the last two days. Children have chosen then researched a plant or tree found in the Amazon Rainforest then they produced a fact sheet. Children thought about how they could attract their audience and used sub headings to organise their ideas. We all all really pleased with our final pieces of work. Here are some examples…

We have had a very busy day in Crew MI!

In reading the children used their inference skills to think about images and how they may relate to our new text. There were some fantastic ideas and children shared their thoughts really well.

In writing we watched part of the film The Lorax. We thought about how the film linked to our guiding question in expedition and we completed a role on the wall thinking about the characters appearance and personality. Again some great ideas!

In expedition we became geographers where we explored compass points and maps. We thought about what countries are on the equator along with exploring the tropics.

In maths we practised our timetables, divided numbers by ten and added decimals. We then moved onto looking at multiples. We worked on varied fluency questions first then challenged ourselves with some reasoning and problem solving questions.

Tomorrow I would like to see our howl score improve, we have pledged for this to be a 3. I really hope we can show this.

Happy new year everyone! We hope you had a wonderful Christmas.

It has been so lovely to welcome all the children back into school. We have had a busy couple of days! Children have made a great start to hook week, they have taken part in both a Geography day and a Science day. The children have really enjoyed both days and have made a great start thinking about our next expedition.

On Monday children thought hard about climate change, what it is, how it has an impact on the world we live in and what we can do to help. We watched a variety of clips to support us with this. We then thought about climate change in our local area and the wider world.

From here we started to think about the benefits of rainforests. We used a variety of media to support us with this. Next we started to think about what Geography was. We discussed the different types of Geography and our thoughts on our next case study. From here we started to discuss key terms and showed these terms on a map and atlas. We then got creative and took part in an activity outside looking at key terms. We had to use a map and coordinates to do this.

In the afternoon we started to think about the country Colombia. We worked together and took part in a Kahoot quiz. We then built a bank of facts for our display. After this we looked at the story of coffee before taking part in some Colombian dancing!

Merry Christmas from Crew MI 17.12.21
