This week we have started reading The Vanishing Rainforest this week by Richard Platt. 

We debated whether we agreed with the nabë’ planning on chopping down many of the rainforests trees. All of us disagreed based on this being unfair for the tribe who live in the forest – no forest means no animals and no food for many people. So to make it a debate some of us had to put our acting skills to the test and agree. Some children agreed as more trees could be planted… we listened well and tried to build on each other’s ideas. Great work in reading today Crew Mcloughlin!

Crew Shields – 1/2/22

1st February 2022Ruth Shields

Great team building activity to start our morning after the long weekend.

This was a great opportunity for children to develop their speaking and listening skills but also consolidate their maths knowledge.

Each child had a number on their head and they had to ask their peers questions about their number.

E.g – Is my number a 1, 2, 3 or 4 digit number? Is it a multiple? Is it odd? Etc.

Getting team work right in our crew!

In our team work Tuesday crew, we have been working together to draw images: either by describing to each other what they have drawn or adding to the image some someone else in their crew can finish it.

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!

Team Building – lots of fun had while the crew developed their speaking and listening skills. There was some brilliant communication taking place and some children developing their leadership skills.
