We continue to work on gaps from our arithmetic tests 🙂 What a fantastic lesson we had today!
Arithmetic in MI :)

Comparing and ordering angles in MI
Today we recapped angles from our lesson on Friday. We used our arms to make the 3 different types of angles we had learnt. We explained how we know if an angle is acute, obtuse or a right angle. We then applied our learning to some different questions, using our partners for support. From here we started to compare angles using the symbols < > = We named the angle first then used the correct symbol to compare. We then applied our learning to lollipop sticks and practised making and comparing angles with these. Next we looked at comparing 3 or more angles and then ordered them from smallest to the biggest. We applied our knowledge to a variety of questions then practised a little more with our lollipop sticks.
Caring Crew in MI
Today we explored emotions and thought about times we have experienced different types of emotions. We then looked at some short letter scenarios where we tried to help the person involved solve the problem. We identified the emotions involved then thought if we had ever felt the emotion ourselves. We had some great discussions this morning 🙂
Making angles 🟪🟠
In maths this week, we have been learning about angles and turns. Today, we learnt the terms acute, right and obtuse to describe angles and created our own.
Science Case Study has started in Crew MI
During this week, we have recapped our learning on solids, liquids and gases and then applied this when learning about reversible and irreversible changes.
After that, we investigated what substances would dissolve in water 💦
We love reading in Crew MI📚
During our reading for pleasure time, we have started a new book ‘Jungle Book’ and we are loving it! Some of us even took it in turns to read the book, making sure we read confidently and with expression. We are excited to see what happens next!
Pancake making in Crew MI🥞
Before half term, we had been learning about mass and capacity and what better way to apply what we had learnt than making pancakes! Carefully, we worked in groups to measure out the ingredients accurately. Finally, we added on our toppings of choice and then we got to eat them- delicious 😋
Computing in Crew MI 💻
In today’s lesson we learnt about search engines: what they are and why we use them. It was great to explore and see who could find information the fastest. We then discussed how reliable to information was. It was great to see Crew MI helping each other too.
Crew MI- Crew lesson- We are all unique 💖
Last week, in Crew, we thought about what makes us unique and special. We acted out scenarios and thought about how the people felt in them and why. We offered advice but also reflected on what we would have done. It was a great session to celebrate everyone’s ‘uniqueness’ and how we are all special and contribute to this world in our own ways.
Demonstration comprehension
Today we carried on reading our book about Africa and focussed on the country Nigeria. We answered a range of ‘why?’ questions and then answered using ‘because….. to explain using the evidence from the text. As a challenge, we answered an impressions question where we used APE to help us to answer. We had a go at writing our answers on post its and then Mrs Ibbotson modelled it.
