This week, we discovered our new reading text for this half term linked to our expedition. Lots of children excited to see what happens and learn more.
In today’s experience lesson we read about how Florence Nightingale looked after the poorly soldiers when it got dark. We learnt she was also called the lady of the lamp as she carried a lamp around with her in the evening. In our experience lesson we all created our own lamp to be able to be just like Florence. It was a tricky cutting and sticking task but we all followed the instructions.
The children played a game of hide and seek, whereby the children pretended to be Vlad the flea and hid in the hospital to make sure the adults (Florence Nightingale and the nurses) could not find them and kick them out of the new nice clean hospital. We then acted out looking after the poorly soldiers and gave them the medical care that they needed.
Today we played hide and seek with Vlad! To begin with the children estimated how big Vlad was and were shocked at just how small a flea actually was. They then spent time searching for Vlad and after a few clues Henry found him hiding under a table!
Today we have started a new book in reading called History Hackers Roman Rescue. First, we completed a jigsaw of the front cover and unpicked the title and author of the book. We then discussed the front cover and made some predictions about what the book could be about. We started to read chapter one whilst text marking the important information.
We massively appreciate the support with reading cafe again!
