This week, we started looking at our new reading test linked to our expedition ‘The Lion and the Unicorn’.
We started off by discussing the front cover and what we could notice while ensuring we know the purpose, audience and genre of our text. We did this using a silent conversation where we had some questions to answer. However, before we started we ensured that we understood the expectations when moving around the room to keep each other safe.
In maths, we had the opportunity to play some boardgames which allowed us to practice some of our mental maths and timetables. In addition to this, we could practice sharing and turn taking which are important skills to develop.
We’ve had a lovely week back in school and we kicked the week off by spending time focusing on crew and building positive relationships. This will allow us to have a successful year.
Our guiding questions was ‘What does crew mean to me?’ and we’ve spent lots of time talking about the importance of crew. When we shared our thoughts today some of the things children said crew is a big family, happiness, supporting each other and holding each other to account.
On Wednesday we were lucky enough to take part in an escape box challenge. This required us to really put our heads together and use each other’s strengths to help us work out all the clues. The clues were maths linked and had problems solving elements. Even I had to get the odd clue to figure out the next step.
