What can we find in the ocean?
Today, we introduced our Case Study 2 text – Commotion in the Ocean! We made our predictions and talked about what we could see on the front cover, before reading the story and learning all about the different animals that live in the ocean. Once we had read the story, we thought about some of the different creatures and animals we had seen and wether we would find them at the seaside in England, or if they live in the oceans around the world.
Exploring rock pools and the ocean
This week in Crew MW, we have hooked in to Case Study 2 – How can we help to save the ocean? We started off by looking at our tuff tray that had been split in half. We looked carefully at the tray and decided that half must be ocean and half was a rock pool! Once we had worked this out, we looked at some books about the ocean and rock pools, and talked about which creatures and animals lived in each habitat. We loved talking about which animal we had and where we thought they would live.
Jellyfish Art
This week, Nursery have been making jellyfish art using paper bowls, paint and strips of different materials. They painted the paper bowls using paint and when they were dry they stuck on lots of different shiny decorations and strips of materials to dangle to make the jellyfish legs.
Nursery had lots of fun getting messy with the different coloured paint and creating their jellyfish art work.
All Afloat on Noah’s Boat
Today we began our next text about the Story of Noah and his ark.
We worked collaboratively to build arks just like Noah did. I wonder if ours will float?
Mental health discussions continue in MI
In crew this morning we reflected on our expert visit yesterday and created an anchor chart all about mental health. We then watched some clips to further develop our knowledge. The main thing we took away from these videos is that talking is so important. We discussed some of the different things that can be done to help someone with a mental health issue and how everyone is different. Some great discussions MI 🙂
Mental health discussions in MI
In crew this morning we started to explore mental health ready for our expert visit in the afternoon, a talk from a mental health nurse. This visit links to our current expedition but is also preparing us nicely for mental health week next week.
We started our discussion this morning by thinking about what mental health is, what we mean by mental health issues and how we can look after our mental health. We discussed rights of children and why everyone’s voice matters. From here we explored a scenario and unpicked what the scenario was saying. We discussed the feelings of the character in the scenario then thought about the difference between mental health and physical health.
We then thought more about our own crew and the things that make us feel more confident and comfortable. We discussed following our crew norms, listening carefully to what others have to say and never laughing at other peoples questions. We discussed that no questions are ‘silly’. More discussions will continue in Crew tomorrow.
Next we thought about some of the questions we would like to ask the expert in the afternoon. We came up with some great questions, ‘what are some of the different mental health issues? How do you help people? How do you treat them? How do you help people to get better? Can you prevent mental health problems? What do I do if I’m worried about my mental health? What should I do if i’m worried about a friend? How do I spot signs of mental ill health? What are the symptoms of anxiety? How many times do you see a patient?’ Tomorrow we will discuss how our expert links back to our guiding questions.
Time continues in MI…
Today we continued our work on time where we consolidated our learning on past then moved onto to. We showed the time on our own clocks, wrote the time then added the minute and hour hands to clocks to show the time. A great focussed maths lesson MI 🙂
RE in Crew Robson
In RE, we discussed the story of Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) and the guest. We discussed what was important about the story and what a sacrifice was. Then, we renacted the story in small groups including the key people and scenarios.
