Today, for our writing experience lesson, we tasted different exotic fruits including a mango and grapefruit. We then came up with different adjective sentences to describe the taste and texture, such as green fuzzy kiwi and pink tangy grapefruit.
Today we began the art section of case study one by looking at the modern artist Steven Brown.
First we did a gallery walk to immerse ourselves and then shared notices and wonders.
We then had a go at being creative by drawing lines in the style of Steven Brown ready for our family learning on Wednesday where we will paint a hedgehog in this style.
Our do now today allowed us to consolidate our learning around length. We used our rulers to measure a series of lines then had a try at drawing some lines too. We then moved onto looking at the perimeter of shapes which we all enjoyed doing. We will continue with this tomorrow 🙂
Today in crew we thought about what storytelling is and what it means to us. Mrs McClare shared her experiences as a child and her favourite book. Our crew check in allowed us to share our favourite stories with each other and why we like those particular books. We then went into the library and shared some books together. Some of us even read out loud to the rest of the crew! This was lovely to see. Finally after discussing the stories we had read, we wrote some book recommendations. We really enjoyed doing this and look forward to the next activities in the morning.
In expedition lessons, we have been looking at the difference between carnivore, ominvore and herbivore’s we looked at what they ate to be able to classify them into the groups and then applied it to our own venn diagram.
After everything that the hedgehog has done for Carla, his one dream was being able to fly. We firstly had to use Percy the Park Keepers help to unwrap Carla from her washing line and then we watched her with the other animals (fox, badger, the two mice) flap her wings to fly.
We were so lucky that we got to fly with Carla and she helped us out after all we had done for her.

A kahoot quiz is always a great and fun way to practice some of the skills we are learning. This afternoon we had a quiz to help us select appropriate coordinating conjunctions to complete sentences.
Today we finished our second book talk lesson. We spent some time enjoying we understood the vocabulary and reminded ourselves that if something starts with a capital letter it’s the name of a place or person. We enjoyed a game of round table where the children had to take turns finding nouns in the text then we did a whip around sharing our answers.
We worked together to do a sequencing activity to order events in the text.
While reading the text, we had some questions to allow us the opportunity to give us reason for reading.
In Crew Haddock we worked together to sort out the past and present pictures in Doncaster.
