This afternoon we welcomed lots of our grown ups into school to show them our current extraordinary expedition work, ‘Earth Shattering Events’, ‘What happens when nature strikes?’. We enjoyed sharing the work that we completed during Hook Week (making a volcano, earthquake simulation, walking through water and Earth Day celebrations!), as well as the Science (rocks and soils) and Geography (mountains) coverage from Case Study One.
We also got the opportunity to share our fabulous writing including our Lava recount and our broadcasting scripts.
Thank you to all of the grown ups (and newborn babies!) who came to share their child/rens learning this afternoon. It was lovely to see how proud the children were of the beautiful work that they have been producing.
We look forward to sharing the rest of our learning with you all in July at our COL Event on Wednesday 12th July! We hope to see you then! 😁
The King wanted to give up because it had taken so long to look for his crown he strolled to tower bridge slowly. Luckily the King found his gold diamond crown! It was at the top of tower bridge all along!
We loved being a bus driver, taxi driver or a boat driver. Some of us had been shopping and others were travelling to their next destination in London.
Fab work Y1, I cannot wait to read your independent writing tomorrow!
Before writing plot point 3, it was vital that we spent some time chotting out ideas. As a crew we understand the importance of collating our ideas so that we can magpie, if we get stuck. Some great ideas today and it was even lovely to see children getting themselves a thesaurus when they wanted to up-level their vocabulary.
Today we went on the London Underground to find the king’s crown.. we still couldn’t find it but we loved trying to get on the train as quick as possible.
This morning as part of our Expedition/The Write Stuff learning in Crew FE, we looked at the features of scripts. These included, a title, setting the scene, a list of people, a list of props, stage directions, a new line for a new speaker and the names written on the left, as well as a range of punctuation including brackets, colons and bullet points. We also discussed the audience and purpose of scripts. Next week, we are going to be writing our own broadcasting script informing others of the catastrophic earthquakes that occurred in Syria and Turkey earlier this year as part of our Expeditionary learning, ‘Earth Shattering Events’, ‘What happens when nature strikes?’. We will also hopefully be performing and recording these using a green screen at the end of the week, and hope to share these as part of our COL event later in the term! 📽
We have had the best day as we explored the coal mining museum. Children had the opportunity to go on and underground tour of a working mine and hear stories from the miners giving the tours. Some of us were a little worried about going in the elevator and going underground but we faced our fears and went anyway. It was so lovely seeing the others encouraging them and trying to reassure them.
We also went to see the out ponies and the blacksmith workshop. Luckily, they were waiting in another school arriving so they took the time to chat with the children.
Well done to the children who asked lots of questions as this showed your eagerness to learn.
This fieldwork has worked out well for timing as it also acted as an experience day for writing. Our next plot point is about going into the mine and we’ve all now had experience of doing that. Lots of tired children and adults on the way home.
We have been writing about the journey that King Charles took around London to find his missing crown. The children wrote sentences for each step of the journey and then we decided to put together a collection of videos to showcase our final piece! We’re so glad that the King found his crown and as you can see, he’s very happy too! 👑
Last week in Crew FE I was blown away with the fabulous writing that the children were producing! They have shown that they are able to use expanded noun phrases with prepositions, onomatopoeia and time fronted adverbials! Great work Crew FE! I am excited to share this with your grown ups next Wednesday afternoon and I am sure you are too!
Today we wrote our next plot point as well as using the dialogue we built in our grammar lesson yesterday. Such resilience today in MI, we all ensured we advanced the action and we tried to describe the character a little more. Really great work today 🙂
