Today in our expedition lesson, we have found out lots of information about Roman towns. We focussed on six Roman towns in England: Londinium, Eboracum, Viriconium, Isca Augusta, Deva, Aquae Sulius. We used a map to help us locate where the Romans settled in the United Kingdom.
Another week, another set of fabulous Star Readers! 🌟📖 This week the children were all able to articulate why they had been chosen as their Crews Star Reader, from reading every day at home, to contributing great ideas in class to remembering all of their RWI sounds! It was lovely to hear how well they are all doing in terms of reading! 👏 We also discussed what books we like to read, our favourite authors and how to use the library! And of course, we also enjoyed some tasty breakfast treats! 🥐🥣😋🧃
We have been perfecting our art skills this week using charcoal. Look at some of the budding artists in Year 1 🥰.
In xp outdoors they played basket ball and looked for conkers
Today we explored the work of Dennis Creffield. Dennis was a British Artist, in 1985 he was asked to draw every cathedral in England. To do this he used charcoal. We looked at how charcoal was created which linked to our case study on Firefighters. We began to create artwork in the style of Dennis Creffield by drawing our school. We used Austins butterfly to critique our work and improve it. We can’t wait to share our next draft.
This morning we started writing plot point 3. First, we discussed what we was going to be writing about and picked out the important information from our text. We then chotted our ideas about the strict Roman disciplines and wrote a shared write together. We focussed on including fronted adverbials and coordinating conjunctions and came up with some fantastic examples of these. The writing Crew Thompson produced today was fantastic!
During todays writing lesson the children were thinking about how Little Red Riding Hood traveled to see her Grandma and what she might have seen during her journey. They used their phonics skills to write the words and used small world figures and blocks to create the cottages. There was lots of great vocabulary during this activity which enabled the children to create brilliant sentences! What a great lesson we’ve had today ✍️
In xp outdoors they were looking at different leaves and finding out which tree it come from by using a leaf dial. We also found conkers😁
Crew MW took advantage of the windy weather today to do something that the children have been asking to do since the start of the year – fly a kite! We worked together as crew to get the kites up into the air, and even though it was raining, we had so much fun! 🪁
Lovely first session today with Mick. Played mirror and other team building activities . Well done to Taylor who was our hero of the week.
