A great Monday in MI

12th September 2022Stacey McClare

This morning Crew MI took part in their Caring Crew where we talked about who is in our family, who loves us and why our families make us feel safe. We worked in small groups to build back up a jigsaw using a variety of different families then we discussed what we noticed about the pictures thinking about what was the same and what was different. There was some great collaborative working during this activity which was lovely to see. We then drew our families, describing characteristics about each member, what they are like, what they do and what they enjoy. We then shared these things with the rest of the crew. During our debrief, we thought about what our jobs are as a member of Crew MI and we made pledges for moving forward. Crew was fantastic this morning! Great job Crew MI 🙂

In our expeditionary learning we took part in a grammar lesson thinking about figurative language. We explored similes, metaphors, personification and hyperbole. We worked collaboratively to build our own examples linking them to space and linking to the chapter we have been unpicking in our reading lessons.

A great day in MI, our HOWL score was 3.5 🙂 Lets keep this up MI.

Bullying poems

12th July 2022Ruth Shields

Today Crew Shields have been working on writing poems about the negatives of bullying. This is building on from the learning we started yesterday after watching a video that had themes around bullying and disabilities. We’ve discussed how we should build each other up, not tear them down.

Beautiful Work in Crew Godley

30th June 2022Laura Godley

Today, as a crew, after our handwriting session we decided that we would like to share with each other the amazing progress we had made with our handwriting this term. We collaborated and decided to carry out a gallery walk to showcase our most improved piece. We then ‘noticed’, ’praised’ and ’wondered’ whilst critiquing our handwriting. We just had to share the amazing progress of one young man, Harrylee. He won’t mind me sharing that he finds handwriting difficult and would rather be climbing a tree! Just look at that smile when he realised how much positive praise he had received from his crew today 🥰🥰 We have some great cursive handwriting developing daily from our crew. Keep up the great work Crew Godley!

Our gallery walk of beautiful work 🖼

23rd June 2022Hannah McLoughlin

Throughout case study 2 science we have been given time to reflect and answer our guiding question ’How can a healthy lifestyle impact your body and mind?’ Through answering this we used our writing skills and wrote a science report. Check out all of Crew Mc’s beautiful work below… we even gave critique focusing on our beautiful presentation and gave out prizes for the top 3 designs. We just need to respond to writing feedback and work with our peers to revise our writing to ensure Y6 quality.

MI’s very own press conference!

20th June 2022Stacey McClare

Today we took part in an experience day as part of our writing unit. This was to support the newspaper articles we are writing. We read a chapter of our text then watched a video clip to give us some ideas on what a press conference looks like. We then got into role of the characters from the story and explored questions that these characters would get asked. Finally, we put all our hard work into our very own press conference! Children did so well getting into role, thinking about responses the characters would say along with thinking about their body language and facial expressions.

Newspaper planning in MI

13th June 2022Stacey McClare

Today we started planning our newspaper reports. We thought about a catchy headline and tried to use alliteration. We thought about the 5 W’s creating our introduction. When then chotted down ideas for PP1 and PP2. Great work by all this morning 🙂
