In crew this morning we were timed to answering 3 questions in 10 minutes and challenged to green by creating our own questions for peers within this time limit. We loved getting active and learning at the same time. Reading pace and stamina has been our focus this half term in academic crew and we can definitely see an improvement.

Crew MI
We have had a very busy day in Crew MI!
In reading the children used their inference skills to think about images and how they may relate to our new text. There were some fantastic ideas and children shared their thoughts really well.
In writing we watched part of the film The Lorax. We thought about how the film linked to our guiding question in expedition and we completed a role on the wall thinking about the characters appearance and personality. Again some great ideas!
In expedition we became geographers where we explored compass points and maps. We thought about what countries are on the equator along with exploring the tropics.
In maths we practised our timetables, divided numbers by ten and added decimals. We then moved onto looking at multiples. We worked on varied fluency questions first then challenged ourselves with some reasoning and problem solving questions.
Tomorrow I would like to see our howl score improve, we have pledged for this to be a 3. I really hope we can show this.
Inference Detectives! (8.12.21)👮♀️👮♂️
Year 3 practiced their inference skills today, in mini-Crews. But first, we had to practice our fluency of reading with echo reading – job well done, guys! We then moved onto being inference detectives as we became confident with reading between the lines of a book and explaining our reasons. What a great lesson Year 3! 😆
