Pledges – Summer term

In Crew Shields, we have been talking a lot about our academic progress and how to move learning forward. As part of this, we have discussed how it is impossible to cover everything in school time so it requires children to be accountable for their own learning and practising the things they know they need to develop.

We had an extended afternoon crew so Crew Shields could make a Howls pledge and 2 academic pledges. They have a copy for home so enquire with them about their pledges. They may need your support to accomplish this pledge. The other copy will be on their desk so they can remind themselves.

Mrs Rhodes and I are looking forward to seeing them be successful over the rest of the Summer term. 🙂

Crew Challenge

Can you create a raft from natural materials and make it float?

We collaborated beautifully to create rafts from twigs and string, we had to use our fine motor skills and clear speaking skills to ensure we achieved our final product.

Applying speech in MI

Today we wrote our next plot point as well as using the dialogue we built in our grammar lesson yesterday. Such resilience today in MI, we all ensured we advanced the action and we tried to describe the character a little more. Really great work today 🙂

The Pebble in My Pocket

Today in Crew Thompson’s reading group, we solved a jigsaw of the front cover of our new book. We found out that the title is The Pebble in My Pocket and the author is Meredith Hooper. Afterwards, we had a fantastic discussion about what the book could be about and had lots of questions after reading the blurb.

Natural Maths

Today, the sun was shining so we decided to do our maths lesson outside…the classroom without a roof!

We were given a number and then had to create the numeral using daisies. Some of us worked independently and others chose to work together. As a team we managed to create all numerals from 1-10!

Speech for our narrative in MI

During our grammar session, we looked at how we use speech accurately and all the features we need to include. After lots of shared ideas and practice, we worked on our own bits of speech for our narrative. This will help us in our writing lesson tomorrow when we start to work on our next plot point.
