During our expedition lesson, we have been annotating a poem about mining and unpicking vocabulary.
We had a book talk session so that we could discuss the poem and help with our understanding. In addition, we have generated phrases and words that we could use when it comes to writing their own poetry in preparation for our Summer final product.
This weekend Rosie enjoyed spending time with Mila and Miss Holdsworth. They read books, sang songs and even went to a bbq! I wonder who Rosie will meet this week?
Today we started our new book ”The Rhythm of the Rain”. First, we completed a jigsaw of the front cover and then we unpicked the title and blurb. We had a fantastic class discussion where we identified the audience, purpose and genre of the book. We are so excited to start and read this book tomorrow. 📖📚
Our entry ticket today allowed us to think about all the characters in the story so far and and what we know about them. After working in mini crews we made a class anchor chart on our findings. We enjoyed reading out loud again today using a read around the robin, an echo read and enjoyed reading with our partner. We text marked as we read, really thinking about the vocabulary which we unpicked. We voiced our thoughts and opinions about some of the parts of the story and this helped when unpicking some book talk questions. Our exit ticket challenged our knowledge on what we had read. We had to summarise Stanley’s morning (the main character in our story) in no more than 50 words. Children shared their summaries and showed their understanding of the text.
The Everywhere Bear has gone on a special adventure with Lily-Ann this weekend. He choose Lily-Ann as she has shown great improvements with her reading this week. We can’t wait to see what they have been up to!
Crew Thompson love visiting the library every Friday afternoon! We love changing our old book and having a browse for a new book to read at home! When we have chosen our new book (or carrying on with the book we currently have) we love to find a comfy spot to read before heading back to our crew. We love Library Fridays!!📚💕
This morning we enjoyed a book in the library, it felt nice and chilled and we loved reading ”look up” especially because it was about space!
In the week Millie and Harlie took some pictures of them enjoying a good book in the sunshine after school. It is lovely to see the girls having a love for reading!
