Crew Godley have had a lovely day celebrating their favourite books, we dressed as our favourite characters ranging from the superheroes 🦸♀️ to princesses 👸 from our favourite stories. We’ve been ever so busy creating our own character masks – we loved Leyland’s Fantastic Mr 🦊 We also shared stories with our peers and went on a story hunt to find our favourite traditional tales, we all agreed that the Gingerbread Man and Jack and the Beanstalk was our favourite!
A day to celebrate books! 🎈📚
Today we have talked about and discussed books. We took part in some quizzes, one of which was run by the National History Trust. This was really enjoyable as it was football themed and has lots of famous faces taking part.
We had a teacher swap which meant Miss Hamill came to read us our class text and Miss Shields went to read with Crew Thompson.
This afternoon, we had some time to do some word searches and colour our own bookmarks. It was lovely to see most people dressed up. We had a few Harry Potter characters with us today.
Wow! What a fun filled day we have had in Crew Thompson! 🥳 We started the day off with a reading wordsearch to get our brains warmed up. We followed this up by taking part in the National Literacy Trust quiz online. This really quizzed our reading and football knowledge but we all did really well! We then reviewed our current book so that people can use these when looking for a book to choose to take home. We also visited the library and swapped our reading for pleasure book. We really enjoy visiting the library and seeing all the book available to us. Then, we took part in a draw-a-long and attempted to draw ‘The Gruffalo’. We all tried super hard with this and listened to the instructions really carefully. We have had a super day filled with lots of reading and some super great outfits! 🎩🧸👗
Crew Hamill have had lots of fun today for World Book Day and so many of us got dressed up as our favourite characters! We began the day by joining a Zoom Meeting and taking part in the World Book Day Quiz which was so much fun. They tested our knowledge on all things football and reading! There were some tricky questions but we gave it our best go. We have also coloured some book inspired quotes and our own bookmarks which have been personalised with our names. We are going to use these in our reading books for when we read at home 🏡
We have some brilliant costumes today, well done everyone!
It’s been a busy few days in MI as we continue our activities in preparation for World Book Day! During story telling week MI created their own story and this week we have created our own front covers and blurbs to go with our creation. We are all so excited to put our story together 🙂
In preparation for World Book Day on Thursday, Crew MI started to think about their favourite books favourite characters. We created an anchor chart to show our ideas.
We then thought about the reasons why we read and the places we like to read. We even discussed how we like to read! We enjoyed some time reading in these positions 🙂
We then listened to each other reading which was so lovely! We even circled up and did this 🙂 We have really enjoyed our activities today and are looking forward to more tomorrow.
Today MI read and shared a story with the children in foundation. They discussed the front cover and blurb with the children before reading the story. At the end they asked the children a few questions… Which part was your favourite? Which character did you like? Did you enjoy the story? Why? Crew MI loved sharing stories with the younger children and tried hard to use some expression whilst they read. A lovely time together in the library.
We have started our new text today, Lost and Found. The boy unexpectedly found a penguin on his doorstep 🐧 They little boy was confused as to who it belonged to and in order to find out where he had come from they visited lots of places. His first stop was the park. He saw lots of noisy children and chirping birds who ignored the little boys plea for help.
This week, we had a really good discussion about the importance of demonstration comprehension and deepened our understanding of why we have this lesson. By working with our teacher, we were able to identify the key steps needed in order to read, understand and answer comprehension questions. By doing this, and listening to Miss Hamill as she talked us through her thought process, we were able to work in mini crews to answer some demonstration comprehension questions of our own.
