This week is recycling week! We discussed the term recycling in our mini crews and gave some examples of what we recycle. We then took part in a recycling quiz which we all enjoyed! There was some great collaborative working with some great discussions of answers together.
Crew Godley have activated their new unit of maths, addition and subtraction by playing Uno addition. Our first job was to determine whether we would use one or two digit numbers, challenging ourselves. We then selected uno cards at random to add together. The challenge was to complete as many as we could in 5 minutes! We were all successful whilst showing off our quick fire skills.
I have been so impressed with how Y1 have built on their ball skills week on week, today we perfected our passing.
Our final lesson on verbs began with a game of charades! We circled up, one person chose a verb card and then they had to act out their verb for the rest of the crew to guess. We had a giggle when Jenson started dancing! Following this, we looked at irregular verbs in the past tense and identified what happened when these formed verb phrases. We then had to identify which verb phrases had been formed correctly and correct any which had the past tense verb wrong.
Today we continued our work on single-clause sentences which we are now getting really confident with. We also looked at the ‘leftovers’ thinking about which clause they belong to. We used counters and different coloured pens to show the different clauses and worked in mini crews to check our ideas. Super impressed MI 🙂
To help us understand what happens to numbers when we multiply and divide by 10, 100 and 1000, we became a human number. We looked at columns and were introduced to the decimal point. Ellie-May was a great decimal point and took her role very seriously, making sure she didn’t move! We then looked at what would happen to our number if we multiplied or divided by 10, 100 and 1000 and how our number would move one, two or three places on our place value chart.
Today we continued with our maths game where we solved lots of one step word problems. We are getting much more confident when deciding on which operation is needed.
Well done to all the children in Crew Marsh who got through the first number level!
Today we applied all of our learning to a single clause sentence and unpicked what the verb of each sentence was and from that could decide the subject. I was so impressed with how well everyone could apply all of their knowledge.
In maths this week we have focused on multi-step worded problems using our addition, subtraction, multiplication and division skills. In arithmetic we have also learnt squared and cubed numbers, order of operations and have continued consolidating long division. Keep up the great work Crew Mcloughlin! We are working so hard!
