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!
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! 🐻❄️
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!
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 🙂
Yesterday we began to explore non-fiction writing. We are going to create our own non-chronological report all about hedgehogs as we have been learning about them in our expedition lessons. We stared by exploring the features of a non-chronological report such as headings and subheadings. We then worked in pairs to find out some of our own hedgehog facts to use in our writing later in the week.
Today we continued to work on calculating the perimeter in our maths lesson 🙂 We even moved onto some reasoning and problem solving questions which was fantastic to see.
In magic maths we worked really hard chanting our times tables and then worked on rockstars to continue to work on the pace of our times tables. We also consolidated our learning from last week looking at ordering numbers from smallest to largest and from largest to smallest. A great start to the day in MI 🙂
In our book talk lessons this week, we have been text marking the next pages in our book “The Last Bear” by Hannah Gold. The children really enjoyed finding out what happened after April and her dad received the official government letter. The children picked out lots of words they didn’t understand and we were able to discuss reading around the word to figure it out. Some children had used their grammar knowledge and found words with capital letters. They remembered that words starting with capital letters are nouns so Oslo is a place.
In writing we had to sort the pictures into the correct order from watching a clip.
It was lovely that some of the children brought in their favourite books from home. They shared why they enjoyed reading them and even better that they read these stories to their younger siblings. We’ll hopefully have a few more to share throughout the week.
This week, in Crew Pashley, our kindness mission is to say good morning and good afternoon to grown ups around school. We are trying hard to show kindness to everyone around school.
