In KS1 for world book day we are asking children to bring in their favourite teddy bear, children will be joining in with a range of activities with their teddies all day ending with a teddy bears picnic where favourite books can be shared and yummy snacks can be eaten.
Rather than it just being a Y1 reading cafe this Thursday it will be a KS1 reading cafe, Y2 parents are also invited to come and read with their children at 2:45pm. Go to your child’s classroom door to be let in.
Today we developed our knowledge on how to answer 2 and 3 mark questions that refer to mood and atmosphere. We used APE to support our answers and worked collaboratively to structure our points. Finally we worked independently then allowed our partners to offer critique on our answers. A really great lesson MI 🙂
Thank you so much to the family members who came and read with their children.
It was such a lovely way to end the day.
Great resilience today when exploring a poetry text. We explored the text, unpicked the vocabulary and thought about the hidden meanings and what the authors messages were within the text. Some great discussions and ideas raised 🙂
Crew Marsh would love to invite all parents or family members every Thursday to read with their children for the last 15 minutes of the day. This will start at 2:45pm, come to Crew Marsh door as the gates will be opened.
We can’t wait to read with you!
In our crews, we voted that bedtime stories make us feel all warm and cosy inside! We love to read stories and so many of our children are so eager to share the stories we read in school with their grown ups and siblings at home.
We would like to invite children to select a book on a Friday to take home for the week to share at bedtime with the families. We have so many to choose from and the children are excited to do so!

What happens if I forget to bring my book on a Friday?
Today we really explored how to answer 3 mark questions around impressions. We recapped how we use APE to answer these type of questions, ensuring we use evidence from the text to support answers. We looked at a given example and unpicked the amount of marks the answer was worth linking to the impressions and evidence given. We tried hard to use the rules of critique when doing this. We then tried to give our own impressions of a character, using the text to support us.
To finish off ’Storytelling Week’ we invited Crew Godley to our classroom to share different stories and show them our favourite story books. We really enjoyed having Crew Godley read to us and we think we might make this a regular thing on a Friday!
I have been working with four wonderful Year 2’s who are working extremely hard on their speedy reading and reading for meaning. They blow me away with their enthusiasm and love of reading every time we do it!
Today MI was introduced to a new text in our reading lesson. We used an image to think about what we notice, what the image reminded us of, what we would like to know and then we thought about what may happen in the text. There was some great and interesting conversations which challenged our thought process. We then used a variety of strategies to read the text, thinking about the pace of our reading but ensuring we were fluent. As we read, we thought about some of the vocabulary. We used a range of strategies to unpick some of the more challenging language and applied definitions to our own text. This then helped us with our next activity. We worked in mini crews to build a vocabulary jigsaw where we had to match different words to their definition. A great job by all 🙂
