Crew Godley shared some our favourite stories with Crew McGone today. It was so lovely to see our younger children showing kindess and respect to each other. We all demonstrated lovely listening skills 📚🥰 and we can’t wait to return next week 🥰
Today, we have started our writing unit for Case study 2 which will involve a setting description for the ’I have a dream’ speech by Martin Luther King.
We have spent time today starting to use the lens to generate ideas for aspects we could write about and some ideas for figurative language. In our next lesson, we’ll be starting to put these ideas into complete sentences so we have had practice and opportunities to magpie from our peers.
This morning in reading, we’ve enjoyed playing imposter.
During the game, the children had to find either the antonym or synonym that matched their word. This really got the children’s brains working as some of the words are words they may not use day to day. I was very impressed with how they completed the activity because they moved around sensibly, used great communication until they found their matching word and we found the imposter (word without a match).
Crew Marsh would like to give a massive thank you to one of our tutormate volunteers who has bought everyone in Crew Marsh a reading book and bookmark to take home with them.
What a lovely way to end world storytelling week!
As part of our expedition in Crew Welburn, we have been looking at how to keep our bodies healthy. As part of this, we have explored making healthy pizzas! Thank you to all of the grown ups who came into school to taste test our pizzas! The children were all really excited and loved having you in!
In science we have been looking at the different foods herbivores, carnivores and omnivores eat. Look at how we have organised the food images we were given.
I am so proud of how hard crew marsh worked in their independent writing. They used all of their phonic knowledge to help them 😃
Because it is story telling week, Crew MI spent some time with Crew Marsh and what a lovely afternoon this was. So many smiling faces and looks of pure enjoyment. The children in Crew Marsh shared their new story books with the children in MI. Crew MI absolutely loved reading to the Y1 children, they tried really hard to use their expressive voices to make sure they engaged the Y1 children. They looked at the front cover and blurb and tried to question the children as they read. Everyone really enjoyed the session 🙂 We are now going to arrange another meet where the Y1 children get to read their own book to the Y6 children. We are all really excited for this 🙂 Well done everyone.
This week we have been sharing our favourite stories, we really enjoyed Handa’s Surprise yesterday so today we explored the fruits in the story. Can you guess what we tasted…… 🥑it had very mixed opinions! Michael had the happiest face however Dominic showed us his disappointment!
