French – Crew Hamill, Crew Thompson and Crew Mcloughlin 🇫🇷🖼🎄

6th January 2024Sarah Mcglone

We have used our French knowledge of shape, colour and size to complete a number of different activities to help to embed our learning.

Colour splat – Who can splat the correct colour in the fastest time?

Listen carefully – Who can identify the correct colour and hold up the corresponding block? Can you listen to the sequence and create the matching tower?

Shape matching – Who can identify the correct shape AND the correct colour? Can you work as a team to be the quickest team to do this correctly?

Christmas craft – Using the shapes and colours we have looked at, can you create a Christmas image? Could you describe the shapes you used to create your image in French?

Christmas Charades!🎄🎄

20th December 2023Kate Thompson

In challenge crew this week, we played a game of Christmas charades. We had to act out different things for our crew to guess! Some of the ones we had to act out were “catching a snowflake on your tongue”, “putting the star on the top of the tree” and “making snow angels”. We had lots of fun!🎄👏

Who is the imposter? 🔍

20th December 2023Kate Thompson

In our reading lesson, we have been reading the poem “‘Twas the night before Christmas”. In our book talk lessons, we noticed that each line in the poem ends in a rhyming word for example “house” and “mouse”. As a Do Now task, we played a game of imposter. We had to find our rhyming pair. Hidden in the words was an odd one out. Luckily, we found it! 🌟🔍📚

Manners and respect in Crew Thompson

20th December 2023Kate Thompson

In crew, we have worked on really unpicking how we show respect and manners around school. We thought of some great examples such as “saying please and thank you when I get my dinner” and “holding the door open for my crew”. The most important message that Crew Thompson came up with was “treat others how we would want to be treated”.

Book Talk

15th December 2023Kate Thompson

This week we have started reading the poem “‘Twas the night before Christmas”. The children have really enjoyed looking deeper into this poem and text marking the important information. We have picked out words and phrases that we didn’t understand, for example “visions of sugarplums danced in their head” and “the moon on the breast of the new fallen snow”. We are excited to read the rest of the poem.
