Today, in Crew Marsh we started our new book.. Man on the Moon.
We acted out the first part of the story where Bob wakes up, makes his toast and cup of tea and then gets ready to go to work on his rocket.
I can’t wait to read the writing tomorrow!
I would just like to share how amazingly proud I am of this small group of mathematicians! Not only do they work hard each week to improve their arithmetic scores but they join in with the times-table chants to get smart with their 2,5 and 10 times tables. The resilience they show, the determination and the pride on their faces is amazing! ⭐️
During our final word session today, we reflected on our first two expeditions and the beautiful work we had produced. It was lovely to see children looking back through their books and the learning journey they had been on. They were then able to add some of their work to their final word slides.
Today we have revisited the work we started on the book ’Holes’ We recapped the story so far using a range of strategies to read the text. We thought about who the characters are, what the setting is, the genre of the text and what has happened so far. We then read the next part of the text using a read around the robin, echo read and partner reading. As we read, we noted down any vocabulary we wanted to discuss. We then thought about these words again in context and unpicked their definitions together. From here we looked at a range of questions continuing our book talk session. We linked our questions to the lenses linking about what the questions were asking us. There was some great collaborative working this morning with lots of children voicing their opinions on different parts of the text.
Today in maths we were looking at position and direction. The children stood either in front, behind, to the side, on top or underneath the tyres when given the instruction. We then ended the lesson by making numerals out of the natural objects on the field. Miss Holdsworth was very impressed at some of the high numbers…especially for the first day back after half term! Great work everyone, keep it up!
A lovely game of football ⚽ this afternoon for Crew Shields as we continue to build up crew in different types of scenarios. Crew Shields love a game of football together and the majority get involved but football can become heated at times so a perfect opportunity to work on negotiating and sportsmanship. It also helped having the sun shining. 🌞
Today, in Crew Pashley, Brianna asked if she could read Roald Dahl’s The Witches to the crew for their after dinner transition task. It was lovely to hear her read and the whole crew were supportive of her reading out loud. They even asked her to read more! We all enjoyed it, especially me!
Today, in Crew Pashley, we finished writing our scripts about an earthquake disaster in Turkey. All the children have done amazing this week and persevered with their writing. They have all challenged themselves and the final scripts have been lovely to read. The children all performed their final scripts to each other. All children were super supportive of each other and enjoyed pretending to host the news.
year 6 had an lovely afternoon in the forest building dens, swing on trees, making a see saw,. lovely weather for it
This week in Crew FE we have been writing a broadcasting script about the recent devastating earthquakes in Syria and Turkey, linked to our current Expedition, Earth Shattering Events, What happens when nature strikes? Today the children had the opportunity to perform these in front of a green screen. I was blown away with children’s fluency and expression skills as well as their ability to follow stage directions whilst reading!
