MI create their own story…
MI have been super busy creating their own story for the year 1 children. We are all so proud of the story we have created and well done to everyone in MI for contributing 🙂 Here it is…
Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess called Abby. She had long blonde hair that looked like locks of gold. Her stunning blue eyes sparkled like diamonds and hypnotised anyone who came in front of her. Her kind and caring personality made her popular and her huge heart made her the most wonderful person ever! Rick had emerald green eyes but he was a poor man and struggled to survive. His hair was brown with hints of blonde and he longed to find his true love. His heart was sad because he had no other family.
One day the princess was taking a stroll around the majestic lake when she came across a hideous, evil witch! All of a sudden, the witch grabbed the princess and dragged her into the forest. As they got deeper and deeper into the forest, the princess saw a dark cave in front of her. There was a dangerous shadow all around and she knew she was in trouble. The witch threw her into the cave and placed a spell on her meaning she couldn’t escape.
“Hahaha I have you now and you won’t ever escape!“ Cackled the witch in the scariest voice.
“Please let me go, I need to get back to my family.” Replied the Princess, crying as she spoke.
A couple of days passed and Rick was busy chopping wood in the forest for his fire. Suddenly, there in front of him was an old lady who came over and spoke. She explained she had heard voices in the forest and wanted him to help. As the two walked deeper into the forest they heard a scream.
“What do you think that is?” Called the lady.
“I don’t know but let’s go and find out,” The man replied.
The two bolted as fast as lightning and came to the entrance of the cave. There in front of them was the disgusting figure of the witch. As quick as a flash the lady and witch started to battle against each other. Their long, sharp swords kept crashing against each others until the lady voiced a spell and this turned the witch into tiny particles that shot like a bullet into the sword. The witch was now trapped forever.
The princess was also still trapped. Rick tried hard to break her free but the iron bars were just too strong. Rick looked into her eyes and knew he had fallen in love. The lady pointed her magical wand at the bars and soon the bars turned to ice. Another spell happened and suddenly the ice burned! The princess was now free!
Rick shouted, “Princess, will you marry me?”
“Yes I would love to,” She replied. “You have saved my life!”
The princess and Rick ran off into the sunset, making their way back to the Princess’ castle. They lived happily ever after together.
Immersing ourselves into our expedition learning so far…
Experiencing the Victorian era
Creating our Menorah’s 🕎
Crew Godley created some wonderful artwork today, using pointillism to create their menorahs.
Similarities and differences 🌎
This afternoon in our expedition lesson, we researched Svalbard and the UK to find information such as population, weather/seasons, agriculture and education. We then sorted the pictures into our Venn diagram to show the similarities and difference of the human and physical features of the UK and Svalbard, Norway. We were then able to unpick why these similarities and differences might occur. We came up with some great reasons such as “the climate in Svalbard is colder because it is closer to the North Pole” and “there are physical features such as glaciers and icecaps which the UK doesn’t have”
Recycle, recycle, recycle ♻️
Today, we were super lucky to get the opportunity to explore the household waste centre in Carcroft. We were super eager to see if we could put everything we had learnt into practice and remember how we recycle different items. We found it super interesting and loved watching the JCB digger in action! Today was a fantastic experience and we are definitely recycling experts now!
National Storytelling Week 📖📚
This afternoon, Crew Hamill learned all about National Storytelling Week and spent some time reading a few chapters from our class book. We’re really loving this book and cannot wait to find out what happens to the polar bear! 🐻❄️
How can we protect our wonderful world? 🌍
Today, Crew Hamill were extremely lucky to be given VIP access all areas to Carcroft Recycling Centre! ♻️We took a walk from school to our local recycling centre, collecting some rubbish along the way that we could recycle when we got there.
We got to see all of the different recycling bins that are available at the recycling centre and the lovely people from Doncaster Council told us all about the differences between them and how each different type of waste is safely recycled to help protect our wonderful world! 🌍
As if that wasn’t enough! We then got to see the JCB in action AND we got to sit in it ourselves! 🤩They showed us how they use this to flatten each of the bins so that more waste can be added. This means there will be less trips to landfill!
Writing in MI
Today we used our chotting from yesterday to complete a shared write and then we wrote the first chunk of PP2. We used some great similes to describe our feelings aswell as the thunder and lightning. A great writing lesson today in MI 🙂
