Maths in Crew MI

We are still working really hard in Crew MI to make sure that we are prepared for secondary school in September. This morning, we played with the timestable cards because we know it is really important we confident with these. After that, we played a fraction game where we had to roll a dice to generate fractions and then decide where to put them so we could add or subtract them to get the biggest numbers. Finally, we played Countdown numbers game. This was great fun!

Locating local rivers 🔍

This afternoon, we used maps and iPads to locate the rivers in Doncaster and the UK. We really enjoyed finding the River Don that runs through Doncaster and then expanding our search to finding rivers in the UK finding other well known rivers such as Thames, Severn, Ouse and Humber.

Simple, compound and complex sentences

This afternoon, we have been consolidating our knowledge on simple, compound and complex sentences.

Simple – contains one clause

Compound – joins 2 simple sentences together using coordinating conjunctions.

Complex – joins clauses together using subordinating conjunctions.

We are doing our best to fill any gaps on learning before we complete assessments next week.

Poetry – The Miner

During our expedition lesson, we have been annotating a poem about mining and unpicking vocabulary.

We had a book talk session so that we could discuss the poem and help with our understanding. In addition, we have generated phrases and words that we could use when it comes to writing their own poetry in preparation for our Summer final product.

Magic maths

In maths we consolidated our knowledge of FDP equivalents and algebra. We really showed collaboration and that we have still got our knowledge from being taught this months ago! 🤩
