Regular verbs

In grammar this week, we have been learning about regular verbs and how they change based on whether they are in the past, present or future tense. E.g. The dog barked = past tense, The dog barks = present tense, The dog will bark = future tense.

Children worked in pairs to decide whether a sentence was the last, present or future tense.

‘To have’ verb

Today in grammar, we have been learning about the ‘to have’ verb. We learned that the ‘to have’ verb shows when you own something or hold something.

Has is used when talking about 1 noun.
Have is used for more than one as well as with you and I.
Had is used to show the past tense.

Wartime Food – Cauliflower Pie

Last week, we made Cauliflower pie using basic ingredients. This was an opportunity for us to get a feel for what it was like during the war and the challenges there would have been due to rationing. Everyone pushed the self out if their comfort zone and tried it. There were mixed reviews. Some enjoyed the crunchy top while others preferred the soft inside. Some were pleasantly surprised to discover that they actually really enjoyed it and had seconds.

Number Lines

Last week, we became a human number line to help us understand the different intervals. We started quite simple so children could understand that each person went up a set amount. Once we were feeling more confident with it, we missed some numbers out and children had to work together to figure out the missing intervals.

Common and Proper nouns

Last week, we had a reteach lesson on common nouns and Proper nouns as we still weren’t 100% confident. To start we sorted some words into groups to remind us that a noun is the name of a person, place or thing. We then completed an activity we’re we had to match the common noun with the proper noun. E.g. shop – Asda

South Yorkshire Fire Service

This afternoon, Crew Shields welcomed a visit from the fire service. They had come to school to talk about how to keep themselves safe at home and also while near open bodies of water.

They were given the opportunity to discuss where we should have smoked alarms inside our homes to keep us safe. Then they started to identify fires that are good and bad.

Hopefully children have come home today and asked where the smoke alarm is and if they could check it was working.

We also learned what to do if we were ever in a position where our clothes had caught fire. We should STOP, DROP and ROLL.

Children then role played calling in an emergency and someone being the operator.
