Can you create a raft from natural materials and make it float?
We collaborated beautifully to create rafts from twigs and string, we had to use our fine motor skills and clear speaking skills to ensure we achieved our final product.
Last week in Crew FE I was blown away with the fabulous writing that the children were producing! They have shown that they are able to use expanded noun phrases with prepositions, onomatopoeia and time fronted adverbials! Great work Crew FE! I am excited to share this with your grown ups next Wednesday afternoon and I am sure you are too!
Today we wrote our next plot point as well as using the dialogue we built in our grammar lesson yesterday. Such resilience today in MI, we all ensured we advanced the action and we tried to describe the character a little more. Really great work today 🙂
This morning in Crew McLoughlin we were rehearsing for our Y6 leavers assembly. We are going to blow you all away with our amazing talent.
Today, we sketched and labelled the different parts of a volcano. The children in our Crew worked really hard to understand the different parts of a volcano and certainly enjoyed watching some videos of volcanoes erupting around the world. The children also asked thoughtful questions to extend their own knowledge. Keep up the great work Crew FE!
Today in Crew Thompson’s reading group, we solved a jigsaw of the front cover of our new book. We found out that the title is The Pebble in My Pocket and the author is Meredith Hooper. Afterwards, we had a fantastic discussion about what the book could be about and had lots of questions after reading the blurb.
Today, the sun was shining so we decided to do our maths lesson outside…the classroom without a roof!
We were given a number and then had to create the numeral using daisies. Some of us worked independently and others chose to work together. As a team we managed to create all numerals from 1-10!
During our grammar session, we looked at how we use speech accurately and all the features we need to include. After lots of shared ideas and practice, we worked on our own bits of speech for our narrative. This will help us in our writing lesson tomorrow when we start to work on our next plot point.
Today MI continued to work on their final word presentations reflecting on their howls for the year then thinking about their proudest moments. They used their expedition books from the Autumn and Spring term to support them. They continued to use their checklists to order their presentations.
Today MI returned to their suspense narrative where we added a change in location to our story, adding more detail for the reader.
