Yesterday, Crew Hamill completed a Padlet in which each child added their own statements to each section, detailing the information they could remember from everything we have learned during our first science case study. Miss Hamill was impressed with just how much we’d remembered!
Today we became Gardners for our fifth castle job. We learnt about how important Gardners were as they planted fruits and vegetables for the kings, queens, lords and ladies to eat at their banquets.
We planted our very own seeds and have taken them home to look after.
In grammar this week, we have been learning about regular verbs and how they change based on whether they are in the past, present or future tense. E.g. The dog barked = past tense, The dog barks = present tense, The dog will bark = future tense.
Children worked in pairs to decide whether a sentence was the last, present or future tense.
Crew Welburn got to go to xp outdoors again this week and because we are now in October we decided to decorate a pumpkin using the natural resources from the forest area.
So today in xp outdoors Crew Hamill made stickmen . They had to use the natural resources from our forest area
Today in mini crews, we created the phases of the moon using Oreos cookies. Crew Elmer had so much fun.
Crew Godley had their first guitar lesson today and Brett was so impressed by our determination to improve our skills. He said we were naturals! We can’t wait for our lesson next week!
Our fourth castle job was a very important one. Today we became messengers and delivered an important message from the battlefield to Carcroft Castle.
Continuing in our mission to learn all there is to know about verbs, Crew Hamill began investigating ‘to have’ verbs. We learned that the ‘to have’ verb shows when you own something or hold something. We played a game of Left Side/Middle/Right Side in which we had to run to the part of the room that had the correct verb. We then worked in mini crews to identify some verbs within sentences before completing our exit tickets independently.
We learned that:
Has is used when talking about 1 noun.
Have is used for more than one as well as with you and I.
Had is used to show the past tense.
On Friday, Crew Hamill were able to spend a little bit of time in the library! We loved being able to choose a book to read for pleasure and sitting with our friends to enjoy them.
