To develop our work on clothing items in French, we looked at how we would give an opinion. We talked about the French for ‘I like’ and ‘I do not like’ and applied this by verbalising whether we liked different outfits displayed on the board. We then began to think about our understanding of the terminology, as well as looking at applying this to writing in French. We collectively created a crew clothing catalogue and each designed an outfit and then wrote sentences to describe it, thinking carefully about whether it was a masculine or feminine word and the sentence structure needed to make the sentence make sense in French.
The UK and Svalbard
Building on our knowledge from the previous lesson, we’ve compared the UK and Svalbard which is a country we will be learning more about as we end out geography Case study and start the science work. We discussed how there are differences due to them being in different geographical zones. Even better that we were asking questions about Svalbard such as the distance from the UK to Svalbard, are you able to travel to Svalbard?
Human and physical features
On Tuesday, we spent the lesson discussing the human and physical features of Italy and Africa. The aim was to compare 2 places from different geographical zones and start to understand why there are differences between them based on where they are located in the world. We enjoyed finding out different information and we were totally surprised that Africa has approximately an eighth of the worlds population.
French – Crew Shields 🇫🇷✨
To continue with our French learning, we looked at describing items of clothing in more detail using our previous knowledge of colours. We looked at the sentence structure, as it is slightly different to how we would order our words in English, before reading the phrases and choosing the correct colour for the correct item of clothing.
Walk to the Household waste centre.
We certainly got our steps in this morning as we went to learn more about recycling and how we can get rid of our waste in a way that helps the environment. This also keeps our community clean and tidy. We’ve learned lots of interesting information and even got to have a sit in a JCB.
Storytelling Week – Favourite book
It was lovely that some of the children brought in their favourite books from home. They shared why they enjoyed reading them and even better that they read these stories to their younger siblings. We’ll hopefully have a few more to share throughout the week.
Beautiful Work
In LKS2, we have been having a huge push on presentation and ensuring we are producing work we’re proud of. Massive well done to Lylah and Bodhan who are setting the bar high in Crew Shields
Geographical Zones
Today we carried on with learning about each of the geographical Zones and recording a piece of information about each one. It was good to see everyone being able to complete the map with the accurate zones.
Co ordinating conjunctions
A kahoot quiz is always a great and fun way to practice some of the skills we are learning. This afternoon we had a quiz to help us select appropriate coordinating conjunctions to complete sentences.
Book Talk
Today we finished our second book talk lesson. We spent some time enjoying we understood the vocabulary and reminded ourselves that if something starts with a capital letter it’s the name of a place or person. We enjoyed a game of round table where the children had to take turns finding nouns in the text then we did a whip around sharing our answers.
We worked together to do a sequencing activity to order events in the text.
While reading the text, we had some questions to allow us the opportunity to give us reason for reading.
