This morning in writing, we have been spending time editing our learning from yesterday. We needed some time to ensure our writing was punctuated correctly and that we had wrote in chunks of sense. Before starting to edit our writing, we spent some time reading each others work and supporting each other with where we needed to make some corrections.
Yesterday, we continued with our Ice Age narrative writing. We watched the video to remind ourselves what we’d be writing about before chotting down some ideas. After this, we completed a shared write together. Then it was time for children to write independently.
In our book talk lessons, we spent some time text marking and ensuring we understood the vocabulary. In the second lesson, we summarised what we’d read on the previous lesson before answering some questions about the text.
During academic crew, we had a gallery walk looking at our presentation and how we can continue to improve it.
In science, we have been continuing to look at the effects of global warming by conducting some experiments. Our experiment was looking at how temperature is effected based on the conditions. We placed one thermometer in a plastic container and one in a glass container before recording the results at regular intervals. We found that the glass container held the heat because it created a greenhouse effect and trapped the heat.
In our science lesson today, we wrote up our scientific reports from our investigation, which was investigating temperatures of water in a glass and in a plastic cup (which represents the greenhouse affect). We started by writing our own predictions.
In magic maths, we have been looking at how to tell the time. We had a quick recap before having a go ourselves.
In writing, we worked together to chot some ideas before doing a shared write.
This afternoon, we spent some time doing purple pen in our expedition books. Some of us used the sticky knowledge wall to help us make our corrections.
Thankfully we were saved from the rain yesterday and had our Scotties session in the hall. This allowed children to practice their casualty rescue. Children were split into the lift crew and of course the rest had to be an injured patient. They took it in turns and learned the importance of being a team. This was put to the test when Mick was the patient however they were successful because they worked together.
