We had lots of fun in Crew Welburn last week. We explored our provision areas, began working on our final product plant pots so that the base coats were dry, and began looking at how the numbers 4 and 5 are made within our maths lessons. We also had a go at challenging ourselves to independently make and write words using our phonics sounds! Miss Welburn was very impressed with our Fred talk and blending.
After completing our do now on converting between fractions, decimals and percentages, we completed different activities on mymaths to consolidate our learning. We really did reflect on the achievements we had already made and challenged ourselves further to improve 🙂 Our exit ticket then challenged us even further, however we worked collaboratively and supported each other to find the answers. A fab maths lesson MI 🙂
This week we have been comparing and ordering decimals by working collaboratively. We really enjoyed that it was active and will keep reconsolidating it so it sticks!
This week, Crew Welburn are hooking in to our new expedition! We are looking at the expedition ‘How do things grow and change?’ and we are starting with the case study, ‘How can I help my body to grow?’ We begun our day by thinking about foods that help us to grow and how healthy foods are good for our bodies. We did some taste testing of different fruits, made some delicious fruit kebabs and voted for our favourite fruit! We loved tasting all of the different fruits, but our most popular with 11 votes was grapes!
Our maths lesson started with an active starter to consolidate the work we have been doing converting between fractions and decimals 🙂 We had to use our maths skills and clear questioning to find our partner in the room!
Here you can see us all completing our hinge question on ordering decimals. Such focus in MI this morning. So many children completing reasoning and problem solving questions today 🙂
It’s been a busy first week back but we’ve managed to have a lot of fun too. Watch our weekly roundup for just a snippet of the things that we’ve been doing!
We started the day in crew discussing our Christmas holidays and it was lovely to hear the children sharing their highlights. We then practised our SLC’s ready for next week.
In maths we converted fractions to decimals and worked well collaboratively to support each other. The lesson really challenged our thinking but we all did a great job 🙂
In our expeditionary learning we started to think about how we see and how light travels. We watched a variety of clips to understand the different parts of the eye and how these parts are similar to a camera. We then took part in a scientific investigation where we explored the question, How do we know that light travels in straight lines? We used given equipment to set up our investigation and worked well in mini crews, ensuring everyone had a role. After discussions and a debrief, we started to think about writing up our scientific reports and what we would need to include.
Some great maths in our magic maths session today. We tried to beat the time when solving fraction arithmetic questions, then we looked at roman numerals. We did lots of chanting of the 8 times table before applying our knowledge on times table rockstars. Great work MI 🙂
We had a great maths lesson today where we continued our work on decimals. We used the knowledge we had gained in our previous decimal lessons to convert between decimals and fractions 🙂 There was some great collaborative working in the main activity 🙂
