LKS2 have worked really hard writing their biographies about local people. It has been great to see the children writing with such focus, working really hard on their beautiful work. The children have blown us away with the knowledge they have gained from our experts.
Monday
Today was very very busy, it was the first day of assessments ( which is where we take tests). We were a bit fussy due to been out of our normal routine but we didn’t let that affect our learning. We turned it around with our writing, we planned and chotted our chunk about mechanisms for our non-chronological report. Miss kept our energy levels up with some of our favourite biscuits😋 Well done everyone for trying so hard today!
Tuesday
Today we started redrafting our double page spreads (non-chronological reports) by making our title and introduction. Keep your eyes peeled for these at our expo! Next, we did our reading assessment; miss is getting us ready for our SATS. We had a wet break including extra break! We ended the day with handwriting then had crew and went home. We definitely needed some rest!
Wednesday
Today we enjoyed playing on the guitars and listening to different songs. Well done everyone for having a go at Scotty’s Heroes, it was so fun. Wow…how hard was arithmetic? Get ready for Thursdays test.
Thursday
Today we went into our groups to do two tests- reasoning and arithmetic. We then started our case study 2 reflection, recapping our learning journey. We then made a start on reading our new text, which was very engaging. It was called ’First Woman in Space’.
Friday
Today we did celebration crew and then our reasoning test, well done everybody for working so hard! Then we did a Joe Wicks workout because we were sat down for so long and it was super fun ! After, we did our double page spread for expedition and we are almost finished. After dinner, we then finally finished our double page spreads and ended the day in crew. We appreciated each other (adults and children) for being so positive and working so hard this week. Bring on Monday !
Check out our beautiful writing, we are so proud of ourselves
We’ve had so much fun in provision this morning! The boys really impressed Miss Welburn in the construction area by using the mobile to build models. They followed their instructions and perservered when they were finding it challenging and did not give up! Have a look at some of their creations…
Over lunch time, we explored how to make our own bubble wands. It was a little bit tricky trying to keep our fingers from popping the bubbles, but we got there in the end! Keep up the fantastic work Crew Welburn!
Today we took part in a discrete handwriting session then applied our learning to our non chronological reports. These are well on their way now and we all can’t wait to finish them. We have ensured we have produced beautiful work that we are proud of 🙂 Great work MI!
Today we continued to work on our non chronological reports. We thought about our air resistance and water resistance sections before moving onto mechanisms. We used our expedition work to support us with this as well as the anchor charts we had created. We have tried really hard to work on the work hard howl, especially trying our best even when we are challenged.
We have also started assessment week. We completed our grammar, punctuation and spelling test today. Well done MI for ensuring you had a positive attitude throughout.
Today we continued to plan and write our non chronological report. Today we finished off our gravity section and started to think about the facts we wanted in our fact boxes. We are looking forward to adding the work we have produced to our A3 spread.
We started our day with our caring curriculum in Crew. Here we thought about friendship and what makes a good friendship.
We also made a start on our non chronological reports in writing and started to think about our gravity sections. We thought about the subheading and built our sentences using our gold and green targets. Tomorrow we will finish our chunk 2 then edit and improve our work. We are also looking forward to building an interesting fact box which we hope will engage our reader further.
In maths we thought about mixed numbers and improper fractions and converted between both. We built an anchor chart together before applying to our books. We then looked at subtracting fractions!
Some great work in MI today! 🙂
We have been working hard on hooking in our audience as part of our writing and if you click on the link below, you’ll find a sneak preview at how we’re getting on. We look forward to sharing the full versions with you during our final product celebration!
Yesterday, in our expeditionary learning, we took part in a critique session where we unpicked a crew members plot point. We offered praise, notices and wonders linking to our gold and green standards then used feedback to edit and redraft the piece. Today we worked on our our plot point where we tried to make it better. We thought about which of our gold standards needed more work and added this to our work when redrafting. We also really thought about green standard, trying to include this in our writing.
