Roald Dahl Day 2023! 🎈🎉📚📝
What a ‘PHIZZ WHIZZING’ 🌟 day it was across UKS2 this morning! Today I had the pleasure of sharing my love of Roald Dahl books with Crew McLoughlin, Crew MI and Crew Boswell. In Crew McLoughlin we looked at some of my favourite Roald Dahl books including Matilda, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The BFG. The children also shared some of their favourite books. We then looked at some information about Roald Dahl including his personal life, work life and great achievements. Our most interesting finding was that he was a spy at the age of 25, during WW2! The children then created some information leaflets so that they could share their knowledge about Roald Dahl with others. In Crew MI, we started by learning who Roald Dahl was, what he was famous for and why we celebrate him on this specific date (his birthday! 🎈) We then collaboratively, through echo and chorus reading, read an extract from the BFG. The children then used this to draw what they thought the BFG looked like based on the description that Roald Dahl had written. The children’s drawings were ‘SPLENDIFEROUS’! In Crew Boswell, we started by reading some interesting facts about Roald Dahl including his early life, his school life, his role during WW2, his children, the books he wrote and how he spent his later life. We couldn’t believe how many books he had written (49!) and how many had been translated into over 50 different languages so that they can be enjoyed worldwide! We also enjoyed looking at ‘GOBBLEFUNK’ (words invented by Roald Dahl!). The children finished the session by making posters all about Roald Dahl. After a busy morning and lots of hard work we were all definitely ready for ‘SCRUMDIDDLYUMPTIOUS’! 😋🍽
Plot point 1 in MI
Today we wrote our first plot point 🙂 We used all the chotting we created yesterday to help us in our shared write then we applied our own ideas to our work. We used the action, notice, hear and feelings lenses to help us to build our sentences.
MI start their class lap book
Crew MI are creating their own class lap book to demonstrate their knowledge of Colombia. We are exploring human and physical geography a little more and comparing this also to the United Kingdom. We are all excited to finish this next week.
Well done boys :)
A big well done to MI’s certificate winners this week 🙂
Celebrating Roald Dahl
Such a lovely morning celebrating Roald Dahl today. We shared our favourite Roald Dahl book with the rest of the crew giving reasons for our choices. We then watched a video clip on Roald Dahl and shared all the facts we had learnt. Mrs McClare then read some of The Twits, her favourite Roald Dahl story! There were so many laughs and giggles whilst we read the story. After reading a couple of chapters we watched a re-enactment of one scene from the story! Children really were laughing a lot!!! I think the pictures say it all!!
Challenge crew in MI
Developing our communication and team work skills in challenge crew this morning 🙂
Grammar work in MI
After taking part in our experience lesson yesterday, we started to think about adjectives and expanded noun phrases in our grammar session. We thought about the first two pages of the story we had read yesterday and chotted using some of the lenses. We created expanded noun phrases based on the pictures. We then took part in a shared write using the language we had just built. Finally we created our own sentences in our books 🙂
Place value
In Crew MI, we have been working really hard on our place value knowledge. We used the base ten and counters to create 3 digit numbers. We now understand the value of each of these digits.
Place value continues in MI
Today we used counters to build numbers on our place value grids and to consolidate our learning from Friday. We then applied our knowledge to a variety of fluency questions. A positive attitude by all in todays maths lesson.
