We have had 2 amazing arithmetic sessions so far this week and there has been some incredible resilience shown. We have worked on many different areas from our previous arithmetic assessment and tried to consolidate and practice. We are getting much more confident which is so lovely to see 🙂
MI have continued to work on the skills needed for a game of dodgeball 🙂
In our first book talk lesson this week, we started our new book “Guardians of the planet – how to be an eco-hero”. We started the lesson with jigsaw of the front cover. We really enjoyed completing this and seeing what we noticed about the book. We already had some amazing questions such as “why are there wind turbines on the front cover?” and “what impacts are we having on food and animals?”
This morning in crew, we looked at how we can keep ourselves safe whilst using the internet. First, we had a discussion on how we keep ourselves safe in school, the playground and the wider community. We came up with some fantastic ideas such as “follow the rules and listen to instructions” “don’t talk to strangers and people we don’t know” and “don’t use the tyres and climbing frames when it has rained as they will be wet and slippy and we could get hurt”. We then discussed the different ways we can access the internet and why we need to use it. It provides us with entertainment, allows us to communicate with others and can help us to learn new things. Finally, we designed an influencer who had a positive impact on the wider community. Some ideas we came up with were: gymnasts, gamers, fashion designers and athletics.
Crew MW have been investigating number 6 today. We’ve used the numicon to find the different ways to make 6 and shared these with our friends. Have a look at some of the ways that we found…
Lots of consolidation in magic maths today 🙂
Inspiring change 🌎 making a difference and a positive difference to the online world 🌎
Today KS1 had lots of special visitors. Lucan from Reptile Rendezvous brought in lots of different animals for us to learn about and we were even luck enough to hold and feed them too!
Today we started our independent plot point of our diary entry. We re watched part of the clip so we could really think about the characters feelings and empathise with him. We chotted different pieces of language to describe Mowgli’s feelings then built a bank of similes around these. We also thought of some of the openers and adverbials that may be appropriate for this plot point. Children then started to write their plot point, applying all the features they had used previously. As I always say to them, it is their time to shine! And this is what they did. A great start to their independent write. I can’t wait to read the next part.
A fantastic maths lesson in MI today 🙂 First we consolidated our learning from last week on perimeter and then we learnt how we find the area of a 2D shape by either counting squares or by using a given formula. We even looked at how we find a missing side when we already know the area. Well done everyone 🙂
