The girls loved going on their cheerleading trip the other week.
Celebration of learning
Thank you to everyone who joined us this morning for our celebration of learning. What a fantastic performance it was 🙂 We are so proud of everyone and the journey all the children have been on.
Art slice in MI
We have enjoyed learning about the artist Picasso. We have recreated a snowman in the style of Picasso. We created multiple drafts before our final attempt which we we are all super proud of 🙂
Writing in MI
Today we continued to edit and redraft our previous plot point, modifying our nouns. We highlighted the nouns we had used in our own writing then modified each one as we redrafted the plot point. We all tried really hard to do this 🙂
Christmas reading in MI
In reading we have started our Christmas reading lessons. All our do now activities involve a quick read which are Christmas related. We are working on our words per minute before answering questions relating to the text. The main part of our reading lesson links to a Christmas advert 🙂 We loved watching the first one today. We then looked at a series of questions together which we unpicked in mini crews and then as a whole crew.
Reading in MI
This week we have used a video clip for our reading lessons which has allowed us to develop our inference skills! We have LOVED the clip and have been excited every day to watch the next part. On Wednesday we ordered pictures from the parts of the clip we had read so far and explained each part to our partner and in small mini crews. We then watched small parts of the clip and carried out our reasons to read. There were so many different discussions and ideas on each part of the clip. Children’s ideas were just amazing 🙂
Exploring factors in MI
Wednesday’s maths lesson allowed us to really think about our times tables. We explored factors and factor pairs. The lesson really showed us how much our times tables have developed 🙂
Wow! What a performance!
It was pleasure to be able to watch the Cheerleading and Acro performance on Thursday afternoon. The children from KS1 and KS2 performed the dances they have been learning during this term in lunchtime clubs.
The performance oozed confidence and the high quality learning that has taken place during these clubs. It was great to see children from previous years perform but also lots of new faces. A massive well done to all involved. They should be very proud of themselves.
Exploring Picasso in MI
Today we continued with with our art slice where we did more research on our artist Pablo Picasso. This added to our work from last week where we carried out some critique on some of Picasso’s pieces of art. We then explored the artwork that we would use as our stimulus for our wooden cookie slice. We unpicked a model then had a go at our first draft using Mrs McClare’s step by step model. We offered critique to our partners first draft then used feedback to have another go. We took part in a gallery walk to observe our peers work, thinking about the sizes and shapes they had used. We then worked again on our own pieces. We are enjoying redrafting our work to make it better.
