Yesterday afternoon, we braved the cold to go on an adventure. We had to use a series of instructions to guide us around the playground where we found some clues. When we returned to class, we worked together to figure out what they said. When we had finished, we discovered that the clues made up the guiding question.
This afternoon, Crew Hamill made a start on their Student Led Conferences! We have worked hard to create our scripts, ready to share with our adults.
Today, in Magic Maths, we discussed lines of symmetry on different 2D shapes and how many times we could ‘cut’ them so each side had the same amount. We talked about this meaning they had a line of symmetry- where it is the same on both sides. We then practiced using lines of symmetry to complete the different pictures, trying to make sure that each picture was completed.
In our geography lesson, we have looked at what human and physical features are. We firstly worked in groups to cut out the images and then stuck and organised them onto our sheet to show which is human and which is physical. We worked so well in our groups!
Another fab lesson in maths today! We looked at both tenths and hundredths and we all worked so hard 🙂 Some great collaborative working today when some of us found things a little challenging. It was so lovely to see crew members supporting each other.
Today we began our brand new expedition by being geographers.
We recapped some of our previous learning from year 1 and talked about human and physical features. I was very impressed by how much you could all remember. Great work Crew Robson.
Today the children in Crew Robson and Crew Godley had the pleasure of meeting their amazing Chapter One reading volunteers and finally put a face to the voice. The children read to their volunteer once a week via audio call and it is having a great impact on their reading progress. It was lovely to be able to say thank you to these wonderful people who make time in their busy jobs to read with our children.
Today we started reading Percy the Parker keeper has a flying visit. We loved reading the first part of the book and experience what it must have felt like when the hedgehog was chilling under the tree in the park until bonkers fell down and bashed his head.
We looked up at the sky and shared what we could see, we then acted out what the hedgehog might have done when the conkers fell.
We are all super proud of our sculptures and are looking forward to displaying them for everyone to see 🙂
Today we watched and unpicked a section of the Jungle Book film, thinking about how Mowgli feels in certain situations. We got into role, becoming Mowgli, making his feelings come to life. We were then introduced to our new writing genre, a diary entry. We started to think about what a diary is and the features needed. We explored a model text and then unpicked the different features. We talked about how a diary is different to our previous genres. We talked about our own experiences of diaries and if we write them at home. We then looked at Mrs McClare’s example of Mowgli’s diary and what was included. This afternoon we have moved onto some grammar learning- using time adverbials. We tried to build sentences together and with our partners. We will be applying everything we have learnt in our grammar lesson tomorrow.
