Today we started our Christmas writing by watching the story of The Jolly Postman. Henry realised straight away that in the book the postman visited famous characters from other traditional tales. We then talked about what kinds of things the postman would deliver to your house at Christmas time including gifts and cards. In the Jolly Christmas Postman the first house he visits is the Three Bears so we made Christmas cards for Baby Bear.
Today in Crew we thought about all the things at school that help keep us safe at school. Great ideas Crew Robson!
Today in Crew Robson we began our Christmas Art Slice with a gallery walk of artwork by the cubist artist Pablo Picasso. We shared our notices and praises and then moved on to look specifically at the shapes he uses in his artwork.
“I notice his eyes are two different sizes” Alissia
“I notice his face is lots of different colours” Teddy
“I wonder why some of the face is missing” Evesham
KS1 really enjoyed their festive Christmas lunch with their Christmas jumpers on 🎄
Today in maths we looked at making amounts in different ways.
We started by working in small groups and using the concrete resources to make different amounts. Once we were confident we worked independently to evidence what we had learnt.
Great work CrewRobson!
KS1 performed beautifully to their grown ups this afternoon, celebrating their expedition and explaining how we were heroes in our own community. The children articulated their learning journey with such confidence and pride. To bring our expedition to a close we shared with our grown ups that we raised an incredible £306 to purchase gifts to share with Hallam FM Christmas Mission, these have been wrapped by the children and will be delivered over the coming weeks. We are so proud of our children and would like to thank all of our parents for their support this term.
Today we continued to read The Smartest Giant in Town. The next character George meets is a family of mice whose house has burned down. For our experience lesson we made mice. They were very cute!
KS1 have been busy wrapping presents today to donate to Hallam FM’s Christmas Mission. We are so proud of the children showing such kindness and compassion.
Today was an experience day for our book The Smartest Giant in Town. In the story George met a goat with a problem. The goat had lost the sail on his boat and he was stuck. We made our own paper boat using our origami skills and discussed how the sail on a boat moves using wind.
Today we started our new unit all about money. To recap what we learnt in Yr1 we matched coins and amount and then played a game on the iPad to reinforce our learning. Well done Crew Robson!
