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.
In Crew Mcloughlin we have been getting smart in arithmetic, learning the coin method to efficiently work out long division. We spoke about how we would leave dividing by 2 digit numbers till the end of tests as they do take time and stamina. Great mathematical work!
In our independent writing today, we have used our amazing planning we generated to write our first plot point. We even visited the quad to do this as the sun was shining 🌞 We used our critique norms to critique each others work. This was really helpful in order to improve our writing and ensure we had hit our targets we had set ourselves. We cannot wait till we are showcasing our final product and our writing is read to our audience – the Carcroft community.
We started our day with our caring crew. Here we continued to think about families and people who care for us. We started to discuss how we can support our families. We discussed some of our favourite memories then we worked as a crew to build our own acrostic poem about family. Finally we worked independently to create our own. We shared these as part of our debrief.
During reading, we started to learn about forces. We used lots of strategies to develop our fluency then worked collaboratively during our book talk session.
In writing we used the planning we had built last week to write PP2 of our independent write. Some great writing by all 🙂 A great day MI 🙂
Today we started our independent write, we worked collaboratively to ensure we all had amazing ideas to include in our writing. We now know the purpose and importance of planning and this really helped us stay engaged. I cannot wait to read these and hopefully appear on our beautiful work display 🤩
