This week in crew, Miss Welburn set us a challenge to see if we could make our outdoor area a little bit tidier and safer by sweeping up the leaves and using the litter pickers to put any rubbish in the bin. We did a fantastic job, working together as a crew, and our outdoor area looks much better now 😁
Our maths lesson started with an active starter to consolidate the work we have been doing converting between fractions and decimals 🙂 We had to use our maths skills and clear questioning to find our partner in the room!
Here you can see us all completing our hinge question on ordering decimals. Such focus in MI this morning. So many children completing reasoning and problem solving questions today 🙂
This morning in Crew McGlone, we had a fruit tasting session! We tried a number of different fruits: banana, grapes, melon, nectarines and blueberries. We noticed that some of the fruits were juicy, some were even a little bit slippery and kept jumping out of our fingers! We worked on talking to our peers using full sentences by saying which fruit was our most favourite and which was our least favourite.
In provision we chose our favourite fruits to add to our wooden skewer to make a fruit kebab. We had to be really careful with the pointed end of the skewer and we tried really hard to concentrate so that the fruit went on and did not fall off.
Then came the best part… snack time! We got to enjoy our kebabs with milk at snack time. We talked about whether our kebabs were tasty or not and what our favourite bit was to eat! There was even spare fruit that we got to share between us as an extra treat! Yummy! 😋
For our next plot point in our writing we are describing a bridge and an oboe playing duck called Roady.
Last week, Crew MI learnt all about light. We investigated how light travels and learnt that it travels in straight lines. We explored what would happen if we blocked the light if we moved cardboard. Here are some of our fantastic science reports.
We had great fun learning about how light travels and how we can use a periscope to look around corners. We enjoyed exploring how light reflects off the mirrors into our eyes so we can see.
It’s been a busy first week back but we’ve managed to have a lot of fun too. Watch our weekly roundup for just a snippet of the things that we’ve been doing!
During Hook week, the children had to produce a short broadcast on a news topic of their choice. They completed some research and wrote their own script. When this was complete, they practiced before videoing their broadcast.
Consider the short length of time they had to complete this, I feel they did a great job. There were 20 raffle tickets each for the group that were voted the best. The group that won were voted the best as they had really thought about the process and features they have seen in real broadcasts.
You can access the video by using the QR code. Happy viewing.
Just a reminder about PE kits:
If children have Scotties heroes (KS2 children) they will have their session outside no matter what the weather. Please make sure children are coming to school in the appropriate PE kit and coat.
PE days are signposted on all classrooms doors.
Any questions please come ask Miss Marsh 🙂
We’ve loved completing the daily mile this week and we have all challenged ourselves to work harder each and every day! 🏃♀️ 🏃♂️
