Today we started to think about the theme of the week- respect. We watched different clips to showcase different examples of respect and then discussed the videos in mini crews. We then went onto thinking about what happens when we disagree with someone and what we view conflict to be. We looked at a variety of scenario cards showcasing conflict. We thought about what disrespectful responses would sound like and what respectful responses would look like. In our debrief we thought about why it is important to respect each other, how respect helps in making friends and solving problems and how respect can create a positive school environment. There were some great discussions in Crew MI today and we are looking forward to continuing our discussions tomorrow.

Maths week starts in MI

Positive Vibes on a Friday in Crew MI
Today we talked about how a positive attitude is good for our mental health. We talked about what is a happy mind and what a different that can make to our lives. We spoke about what made us happy. We all agreed that when someone else says something positive that then makes the rest of us happy. We worked together to compose a positive statement to share with the crew. We read some some inspirational quotes and decided which one we liked the best- these helped us with our own. We spoke about how some people can struggle with their mental health and how this then can be difficult to feel happy. To help this, we spoke together about what those people could do like talk to a trusted adult.
Multiplication in MI
Yesterday we used a written method for multiplication. We looked at multiplying two and three digit numbers by a one digit number. We even challenged ourselves with some reasoning and problem solving questions 🙂
Bonfire night discussions in MI
Yesterday we discussed the reasons why we celebrate bonfire night. We watched and explored a video clip all about Guy Fawkes then discussed our thoughts in mini crews. We then thought about firework safety and the reasons why this is so important. We then applied our learning to a kahoot quiz!
Caring crew in MI
Today we discussed friendships and what friendship means to us. We talked about what makes a good friend and how we make sure we are a good friend to others. We then took part in a task where we had to communicate with others in the crew, finding someone else who likes doing certain things e.g someone who likes dogs, someone who likes pizza. We enjoyed learning more about each other and talking to each other a little more. We then thought more about how we are all good friends and what we do to show this daily.
Exploring arrays in MI
Today we looked at what we mean by multiplication and division…
We used cubes to explore arrays then worked with our partner on a problem solving question. We have really enjoyed our maths lesson 🙂
History case study reflection in MI
Wow, wow, wow, Crew MI you blew me away this afternoon with the knowledge you showcased on our two history case studies. We thought about our guiding question ‘How does war change lives?’ and answered it through a mind map. We unpicked all the areas that related to our guiding question, we explored what we could remember about those areas and how they answer the guiding question. Children we so engaged and could talk about everything we had looked at throughout the two case studies. We have thoroughly enjoyed our history case studies 🙂
Anne Frank in MI
We have really enjoyed learning about Anne Frank in our expeditionary learning this week. We learnt about Nazi persecution on Jewish people and all about the Holocaust. We have all been so engaged in this subject area this week with so many questions raised. We were all very mature in our approach to this subject and really showcased our best selves.
Recycling crew in MI
This week is recycling week! We discussed the term recycling in our mini crews and gave some examples of what we recycle. We then took part in a recycling quiz which we all enjoyed! There was some great collaborative working with some great discussions of answers together.
