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.

Crew in MI- World book day
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.
World book day preparation in MI :)
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.
3D shapes
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.
Computing in Crew MI
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.
Demo comprehension in Crew MI
Today, we recapped the vocabulary we have learnt this week by matching it to pictures. After that we read our text and discussed it together. We helped Mrs Ibbotson to answer questions and we really unpicked how to answer ‘what’, ‘why’, ‘who’ and ‘when’ questions. Finally, we challenged ourselves to answer another impressions question where we used APE to help us.
