Today we critiqued a crew members habitat section of their non chronological report. We thought about sentences where target grids had been used then we unpicked and redrafted sentences that needed to be better. We all worked well in mini crews to do this before giving feedback to the whole crew. We then applied what we had learnt to our own work, editing and redrafting our own sentences. We are getting much more confident in this part of the writing sequence.
This week we looked at a Jewish place of worship. We watched some video clips and read some research. We then compared Orthodox and Reform beliefs.
Today we started to edit and redraft our non chronological report 🙂 We are hoping to publish this piece of writing so we all worked hard to improve our sentence structure.
It’s been a busy few days in MI as we continue our activities in preparation for World Book Day! During story telling week MI created their own story and this week we have created our own front covers and blurbs to go with our creation. We are all so excited to put our story together 🙂
Such focus this morning in our guitar lesson 🙂
Another lovely morning celebrating beautiful work 🙂
In preparation for World Book Day on Thursday, Crew MI started to think about their favourite books favourite characters. We created an anchor chart to show our ideas.
We then thought about the reasons why we read and the places we like to read. We even discussed how we like to read! We enjoyed some time reading in these positions 🙂
We then listened to each other reading which was so lovely! We even circled up and did this 🙂 We have really enjoyed our activities today and are looking forward to more tomorrow.
Today MI read and shared a story with the children in foundation. They discussed the front cover and blurb with the children before reading the story. At the end they asked the children a few questions… Which part was your favourite? Which character did you like? Did you enjoy the story? Why? Crew MI loved sharing stories with the younger children and tried hard to use some expression whilst they read. A lovely time together in the library.
Today, we explored 3D shapes. We sorted them based on their properties and learnt some new vocabulary. We counted the faces, edges and vertices and then matched them to their name at the end of the lesson.
This week in computing, we carried on with out learning about search engines. We used a search engine to find information about explorers. We then worked together to research answers to questions. Quickly, we figured out that the website we were using was full of inaccurate information and fake news when we compared it to another website. We learnt that we have to be careful when searching on the internet.
