Building shelters ⛺️
Today we built shelters after running from the fire in London.
Learning to blend in Crew MW’s phonics
We’ve been working really hard on our learning to blend steps in phonics this week. We’ve been listening to Fred’s Fred talk, blending the sounds into words and then using our magnetic letters to make the words. Once we’ve made them, we’ve used our ‘Fred talk, read the word’ to sound out and read the words back! We’re all going to be super blenders in no time!
Super Scottys!
This morning, we had a fab scottys session outside. We focused on working as a team and building crew relationships! This is definitely something we are going to continue to work on and develop in Crew Thompson! 🛞💪
MTC Practice
A few parents have asked for clarity on the MTC section of the homework.
Children need to use TTRS to practice their timetables and then complete an MTC test which they’ll record the score of.
This is to get the children use to the time limit to answer each question.
Thanks

Predicting our new text 👀🔎
We explored the front cover and blurb of our new text on Monday. We focused on the genre and purpose of the book and why we would want to read it. We are really excited to learn facts about climate change, deforestation and rainforests to help us in expedition.
Our new text is called Forests by Jess French.
Crew Robson attend Scottie’s Heroes
Crew Robson enjoyed their first Scottie’s Heroes session with Mick today.
They played games and worked together as a team to complete their exercises. Mick was really impressed by Eveah who helped her team and demonstrated great HowLs too.
We are already looking forward to our next session!
Celebrating Roald Dahl
Such a lovely morning celebrating Roald Dahl today. We shared our favourite Roald Dahl book with the rest of the crew giving reasons for our choices. We then watched a video clip on Roald Dahl and shared all the facts we had learnt. Mrs McClare then read some of The Twits, her favourite Roald Dahl story! There were so many laughs and giggles whilst we read the story. After reading a couple of chapters we watched a re-enactment of one scene from the story! Children really were laughing a lot!!! I think the pictures say it all!!
We are geographers 🗺️
Last week was spent immersing ourselves into our new Autumn expedition. We started off the week engaging in an Amazon virtual reality experience! We were not keen on the tarantulas but loved flying above the canopy layer and delving deeper into the forest! We worked as geographers exploring the world map focusing on geographical zones of the world. We used resources to help us such as an atlas and a globe whereby we recapped continents, tropics, lines of latitude and longitude, hemispheres and time zones. Did you know we are in the Greenwich meridian? We found it really interesting exploring time zones at the opposite side of the Earth to us!
We then zoomed in on South America looking at the 12 sovereign states (countries that rule themselves). A couple of us even knew the British overseas territories that are part of South America. Next up, we learnt about human and physical features with a focus in Colombia, When exploring on Google Earth we particularly noticed Colombia had a vast range of physical features from emerald green mountains to Caribbean white sandy beaches. We have asked miss to visit Colombia on our next school trip… we can dream!
Hope you have enjoyed reading all about our geography learning,
