To hook us into our new book we made a jigsaw from the front cover and made predictions about what might happen in the book.
We then practiced our cutting skills again and chopped some tomatoes, cucumber, pepper and onion to make some tasty gazpacho following a recipe from the back of the book.
Today we tested out our mini tables sticks for the first time to practice looking for patterns in our five times tables!
The children in CrewRobson loved their Scotty’s Heroes session today. They learnt about the fire triangle and how to use a flint and steel safely.
Shout out to Jasper who was our Hero of the Week!
As part of our second case study “keep growing” we have been learning about the different parts of a plant. First we looked at a plant and learnt some new vocabulary including stem, roots, flower and leaves. We then learnt about the important job each part has to ensure the plant thrives.
Some children then went out into our school grounds to see what plants they could see! They even took some photos on the iPad.
Today in KS1 we hooked into our learning by looking at what a plant is. To be able to do this over the next few weeks we have planted our own pea plant to watch them grow.
LT: To divide into equal parts
In this lesson, we used the cubes to help us divide amounts equally into different groups. We then had to read worded questions and some of us used our whiteboards and counters to help.
In reading yesterday, we focused on our reading fluency and reading with expression. Miss Shields did an echo read to model how to read with expression then the children worked in small groups to work on a small section together. They had some time to practice before performing to the rest of the class. I was very impressed with how quickly they picked it up.
Today we took ourselves out of our comfort zone and tried some new fruits including pineapple, avocado and passion fruit.
Today we were lucky enough to be visited by cook stars. The children all took it in turns to make a portion of dirty fries. They all chopped, peeled and grated their own fresh ingredient and assembled their meal.
