Crew Godley love a Crew Challenge

Today I’ve reflected on how far we’ve come as a crew this year and I truly believe this is down to our support and compassion for one and other. Each week we complete our Crew Challenge and this week has shown how much trust we have in each other. Our challenge was to work in smaller crews and pass water down the line, backwards, whilst we remained forward facing. The trust, speaking and listening skills and support for each other, absolutely blew me away. I’m so proud we have such a caring and resilient crew. Here’s a few photos of this weeks challenge and ones we’ve carried out in the past! We can’t wait to see what next week brings! #wearecrew

Reading in Crew MI

Today in reading we played a quick game where we matched different words to their definition. Children worked well in partners to do this. We also thought about the word class of each word. From here we introduced our new vocabulary for the day (conservation) and unpicked the word together. We then read our text focussing on fluency and expression. We used a read around the robin, an echo read, a chorus read and then we read with our partner. Our fluency is really improving. Children then helped me to unpick some questions on the board looking at different question types and how we go about answering each question. I was super impressed with the amount of information children had remembered. Children are now ready to answer comprehension questions independently tomorrow.

MI Crew Time

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.

Caring Crew (8.7.22) 🤔

Today, LKS2 have completed their caring Crew activity. They were asked to think about something they couldn’t live without and then draw it. It was interesting to see what the children couldn’t live without, which ranged from Nintendo Switches to school to families. Check out some of our images below:

LKS2 independent writing planning (7.3.22)📝

Today, LKS2 started planning their independent writing plot points, based on the book The Polar Bear Explorers Club. Today, we drew what we thought would happen in the plot point and then we acted it out. After completing that, we then looked through the different lenses to be able to jot down vocabulary ready to use in our independent writing. We can’t wait to write and read them!
