Simple, compound and complex sentences

13th June 2023Ruth Shields

This afternoon, we have been consolidating our knowledge on simple, compound and complex sentences.

Simple – contains one clause

Compound – joins 2 simple sentences together using coordinating conjunctions.

Complex – joins clauses together using subordinating conjunctions.

We are doing our best to fill any gaps on learning before we complete assessments next week.

Poetry – The Miner

13th June 2023Ruth Shields

During our expedition lesson, we have been annotating a poem about mining and unpicking vocabulary.

We had a book talk session so that we could discuss the poem and help with our understanding. In addition, we have generated phrases and words that we could use when it comes to writing their own poetry in preparation for our Summer final product.

Crew MI took their reading outside today in the lovely sun , they had to workout and draw a 5 foot hole on the floor using chalk as this was the size of the hole that was dug. Then before we finished reading chapter 7 we did a few freeze frames.

This morning we headed to the forest to play forty forty for our challenge crew; its just like hide and seek but with a twist. We had to excel in communication and teamwork skills and ensure we made it back home to our base! Well done Crew Mcloughlin.

Challenge Crew in Crew Boswell

13th June 2023Matthew Boswell

After some trial and error, we managed a 60cm tower. Can you do better?

Today our challenge crew was to follow a simple instruction: “build a tower of shoes”. After enthusiasm saw multiple towers, we worked together to build one taller tower which we then measured. The question is, can we do better next time? And before you ask, we took it outside to enjoy the weather, not because of the smell! 😉
