Yesterday, we created our own water cycle wheel. We explained the part played by condensation and precipitation in the water cycle. We then explained the process of condensation and precipitation within the water cycle and how they are a reversible process. 🌧️🌦️
This afternoon, in Crew FE we learnt a little bit more about ‘The Water Cycle’, including ‘precipitation’, ‘condensation’ and ‘evaporation’. Crew members had lots of great questions to ask to enhance their learning further which was amazing to see and I loved how involved everyone got! We then spent the rest of the lesson making our own ‘Water Cycle Wheels’ so that we could share them with everyone else!
I’m so proud of all of the children in Crew Welburn for trying their very best each and every day with their reading. Our books are becoming a little bit more tricky as we move further through the year, but everyone is challenging themselves to use special friends, Fred talk, read the word, to show how smart they are getting in their reading. It is lovely to see the children working in their pairs to support each other and to cheer each other on 🙌🏻
I had the best start to a Thursday with our READING STARs from this week. We enjoyed a croissant and orange juice and then we chatted a little bit about reading and why we enjoy it. We then explored the library and had a little bit of time looking/reading some books . I am
incredibly proud ⭐️
As part of our case study ‘Where did Mae Jemison’s journey take her’ we have been exploring the solar system and the work of Peter Thorpe who created space artwork. Today, we created our solar system in a bottle, some had moons, others had stars and my favourite was light!
So part of xp outdoors this term the whole school have done planting. Here are what year 6 did crew MI (Sunflowers) At the end of the term the children will be able to take them home.
WOW! WOW! WOW!
Today was the turn of Shiloh to share her talent with us. She had told me she wanted to sing which I was surprised by as she can be quite shy. However, this afternoon she blew us all away!
This confident girl stood up in front of her crew and sang like an angel. I have no idea where she has been hiding that voice but I’m very glad she felt comfortable enough to share with us. Shiloh has only ever sang in front of her family so this was the first time she sang in front of a group.
Who knew space food tasted so sour? We were not a fan of it in Crew Marsh.👎
This morning, we carried reading on our novel ‘Holes’ which we are really enjoying. Instead of just answering questions we had a matching activity where we had to match the question to the answer. This was really fun and really got us thinking about what the question was asking us.
Also big shout out for some great text marking. We are getting so good at this now and it really shows we are understanding what we are reading.
In XP Outdoors we planted lettuce seeds. We are very excited to watch our lettuce grow over the next few weeks.
