What a fruity surprise 🍌🍍🥭🥑🍊
Sentence Types
On Friday afternoon, we were learning about different sentence types such as simple, compound and complex. This allowed us to build of our learning of coordinating and subordinating conjunctions.
Book Talk – Non Fiction
On Friday, we started a new text which was a non fiction. This will help us build background knowledge for our expedition.
We made some predictions about what the text would be about and had some discussion questions to get us thinking about what we’d be reading.
Once we had an understanding of the type of text we’d be reading, we did some guided text marking.
Storytelling Week
Crew Shields have continued to enjoy storytelling week by having biscuits while listening to an audio book. We also had a change of scenery for our class read and went to the library.
Storytelling Week 📖📚
Crew Hamill have had lots of fun during storytelling week. We have fully immersed ourselves in our class text and we are loving finding out what is happening between April and Bear (the polar bear). We have enjoyed a trip to the library and have had discussions about our favourite books and characters. Today, we ended storytelling week in our pjs and listened to an audiobook whilst having a sneaky biscuit treat! ☺️
Parts of a Computer 💻🖥️⌨️
Yesterday, Crew Hamill were learning about the different components of a computer. We were able to recognise and name the parts of a computer, using subject specific vocabulary: buttons, desktop, laptop, mouse, keyboard, computer and monitor. Following this, we used some computer software called Sketchpad to design a laptop, ensuring we created each of its individual parts – the screen, the keyboard and the mouse.
The Magic of Magic Maths 🧮
Crew MI have been working really hard this week consolidating their knowledge on place value, arithmetic and shape. Drip feeding this every day is really helping us to remember.
Story telling in Crew MI 📖
Over the last two days, we have watched a clip about a man who loves beans. In fact, he loves them so much he got a job at the beans factory. The clip showed his journey through life: getting, married, having twins and inventing new cans for different occasions (beans for one, beans for two, snack). We then developed our inference skills and acted out the scenes from the clip- sharing our ideas and what we thought the characters were thinking and feeling.
Storybook Week📚
To finish storybook week, Sharni-Mae read a story to Ates this afternoon. It was lovely to hear Sharni reading to Ates📚📖
