During Book talk this week we listened to miss model her fluent reading. We critiqued her and adopted her reading skills. We explored ‘The problems of deforestation’ and answered questions together thinking out loud using our reading skills.
For our experience lesson today we ventured into the woods. Just like Vlad and Boxton, we escaped the fire and found shelter. We talked about where was the best place to make a shelter and how the people running away from the fire would have been feeling.
We loved having grown ups in yesterday for our story time session! We had lots of fun sharing stories with you 📚
Rosie and Rupert have loved joining the children of Crew Robson and listening to some different stories. Thank you to everyone who has shared photos. I love seeing at them 🥰
What a lovely start to the day! This morning I had the pleasure of having my breakfast with the Carcroft Star Readers. It was lovely listening to the children share why they had been chosen as their Crews Star Reader and I could sense just how proud they all were 👏 I also got the opportunity to listen to the children talk about how they celebrated Roald Dahl day in their crews yesterday, it sounded like they had lots of fun! Especially in Crew MI where they got to watch people eating worms 🪱 I’m guessing it was The Twits ‘Wormy spaghetti’ or as Mrs Twit calls it ‘Squiggly Spaghetti’! 🤣 Well done Star Readers! 👏
This afternoon, we celebrated the work of Roald Dahl. First, we read an extract from Matilda. We really loved this book, so much so it may have to be our next class shared read! Children were then able to choose an activity related to Roald Dahl. They could do some mindful colouring of quotes by Roald Dahl, acrostic poems, or design a sweet as if they were Willy Wonka. 🍬🍫
What a ‘PHIZZ WHIZZING’ 🌟 day it was across UKS2 this morning! Today I had the pleasure of sharing my love of Roald Dahl books with Crew McLoughlin, Crew MI and Crew Boswell. In Crew McLoughlin we looked at some of my favourite Roald Dahl books including Matilda, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The BFG. The children also shared some of their favourite books. We then looked at some information about Roald Dahl including his personal life, work life and great achievements. Our most interesting finding was that he was a spy at the age of 25, during WW2! The children then created some information leaflets so that they could share their knowledge about Roald Dahl with others. In Crew MI, we started by learning who Roald Dahl was, what he was famous for and why we celebrate him on this specific date (his birthday! 🎈) We then collaboratively, through echo and chorus reading, read an extract from the BFG. The children then used this to draw what they thought the BFG looked like based on the description that Roald Dahl had written. The children’s drawings were ‘SPLENDIFEROUS’! In Crew Boswell, we started by reading some interesting facts about Roald Dahl including his early life, his school life, his role during WW2, his children, the books he wrote and how he spent his later life. We couldn’t believe how many books he had written (49!) and how many had been translated into over 50 different languages so that they can be enjoyed worldwide! We also enjoyed looking at ‘GOBBLEFUNK’ (words invented by Roald Dahl!). The children finished the session by making posters all about Roald Dahl. After a busy morning and lots of hard work we were all definitely ready for ‘SCRUMDIDDLYUMPTIOUS’! 😋🍽
Today, we celebrated Roald Dahl. An author we’ll all be familiar with and no doubt spent time reading his wonderful books.
I shared an extract of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory which is my favourite Roald Dahl book. We learned about his life and discovered that he invented a medical device which he gave to the NHS for free. A device still used to help lots of people.
Children were then able to choose an activity related to Roald Dahl. They could do some mindful colouring of quotes by Roald Dahl, acrostic poems, design a new front cover for their favourite book or design a sweet as if they were Willy Wonka.
Year 2 had fun today celebrating Roald Dahl Day. We hope you enjoy watching our Matilda inspired music video
Today we built shelters after running from the fire in London.
