Crew Thompson love a library visit! We get so excited browsing through the different books on offer and finding one that we want to take home to read. We noticed some beautiful bookmarks made by Crew McLoughlin and just had to take one for our own books. Thank you, Crew McLoughlin! 😀💕
Today, Crew Shields have been practicing reading their poems aloud in preparation for them being recorded on a Monday. We have each other critique and explained the importance of speaking in a clear voice, at a reasonable pace and adding some expression in. We’ll have more time to practice to each other and in front of the class so when Monday comes, we’ll be ready to smash it.
On Thursday, we celebrated the children in Crew Pashley who have been reading everyday. We celebrated by going outside on the scooters in the sunshine. With our mini first aider, Jenson, keeping everyone safe and keeping plasters close by!
I’m so proud of all of the children in Crew Welburn for trying their very best each and every day with their reading. Our books are becoming a little bit more tricky as we move further through the year, but everyone is challenging themselves to use special friends, Fred talk, read the word, to show how smart they are getting in their reading. It is lovely to see the children working in their pairs to support each other and to cheer each other on 🙌🏻
I had the best start to a Thursday with our READING STARs from this week. We enjoyed a croissant and orange juice and then we chatted a little bit about reading and why we enjoy it. We then explored the library and had a little bit of time looking/reading some books . I am
incredibly proud ⭐️
This morning, we carried reading on our novel ‘Holes’ which we are really enjoying. Instead of just answering questions we had a matching activity where we had to match the question to the answer. This was really fun and really got us thinking about what the question was asking us.
Also big shout out for some great text marking. We are getting so good at this now and it really shows we are understanding what we are reading.
This morning we had our first LKS2 Community Meeting where we invited the parents of those children who were our Learning Legends from last week! It was lovely to share each crews celebrations including ‘crew praises’, ‘HoWLs’, ‘attendance’ and ‘what we’ve done in our crew this week’, as well as ‘Reading Champions’, ‘Star Readers’ and ‘Learning Legends’. Well done to all of those pupils who received a certificate this week! 👏
Today we all enjoyed a bag of haribo to celebrate finishing our Y1 phonics screening, the children worked incredibly hard and we feel very proud of them all! 💕✅
On Friday, in Crew Pashley, we celebrated Pjarmarama Day by completing different reading activities in our comfy clothes. To kick start our day, we designed new front covers for our hook book ‘The Flood’. Here are just a few of our favourites!
We experienced our very own Carcroft Starbooks, even trying some tasty book themed treats!
To finish off our FUN day, we chose our favourite books to read outside in the sun with a cool ice lolly.
Today, as part of ‘Pyjamarama Day’ some of our teachers got to do a swap and read to another crew! Staff and children loved this so much when we did this last half term that we all wanted to do it again, and again it was a success! The teachers loved going to another crew and sharing their favourite book/s and the children loved welcoming another teacher into their crew and getting to experience listening to a new book! Some children also got to experience children from another doing a swap and coming into their crews to share a story, this was lovely to see the older children in school sharing a story children with some of our youngest!
