Being a geographer – Continents
Declan has worked hard with Mrs Brown to learn the Continents song.
Mrs Godley commented that this was the highlight of her day hearing them learn and perfect the song!
Well done Declan!
BBK … Finding more information about Colombian endangered animals
Today we’re researching endangered animals ready to begin our monologue tomorrow. Again, we are using scanning skills to read at speed to build up our background knowledge. Some of us are researching the northern tiger cat, white bellied spider monkeys and others are researching giant otters.
BBK – Animals in danger
This morning we’re researching animals that are in danger to build our background knowledge. We are focusing on fluency skills to really ensure we understand what we are reading. I praise how some children are rereading our text to double check we are understanding what we are reading.
Now we understand a little more about animals in danger, we are creating our own BBK poster.
Expedition Learning in Crew MI
Today we have continued to produce our Colombia posters, showcasing all the research we collected on Colombia. We have wrote about Colombia’s climate, where Colombia is in the world and The Andes. Children have made a fantastic start with these and we all all excited to continue working on these tomorrow.
Hola, Colombia!
Building background knowledge
Today we have used Jess French’s brilliant book ‘Forests’ to understand some more information on deforestation, helping us answer our guiding question!
Year 2 being geographical artists!
A fantastic first day back. The crews have settled back in really well and worked hard to produce beautiful work today.
We have continued learning about our expedition The Circle of Life: How will what I do today impact the world tomorrow?
The crews have been thinking about the changing seasons by producing some beautiful art work.
Well done!
Crew MI
Another busy day in crew MI!
Children have created some fantastic writing today. They have thought about their gold standards and applying the features to their writing. Some children have even hit their green standard. They used their chotting ideas from the experience day yesterday to really think about the lenses they were writing through and linked these to their gold standards.
Children have also enjoyed our expedition lesson where we thought more about human and physical features of Geography. Children grouped different pictures explaining their views as to why it was human or physical. From here children used maps and atlases to think more about the continent of South America.
Our HOWL scores have really improved too! Let’s keep this up Crew MI!
Crew Shields – 25/1/22
It was lovely seeing the crew work collaboratively to sort the human and physical features of South America. We were able to hear good discussions/reasoning as to their reasons for it being a human or physical feature.
