This afternoon, we have looked at making numbers to 10. We started by selecting a number from the magic bag, and then choosing two representations from the pile of tens frames. We counted up all of the counters on the representations to see how many we had altogether and to see if we had made the magic number or not. After that, we made dominoes using our play dough and beads. We talked about how many were in each part and how many altogether.
Today we continued and finished our lesson from yesterday where we continued reading about famous inventors. We used a read around the robin today along with a chorus read. We then looked at our reasons to read.
Our entry ticket for todays lesson allowed us to work on our inference skills where we explored a picture. We thought about the girl in the picture and how she was feeling. We thought about who the characters were and what was happening in the picture. We explored the setting then thought about what the characters may be saying. There was lots of great discussion and thoughts expressed 🙂 From here we recapped the vocabulary we had explored yesterday with another entry ticket reminding ourselves of word meaning. We then moved onto looking at some written questions and worked independently to do this.
What a fantastic maths lesson! Today we continued our work on money where we converted between pounds and pence 🙂
On Friday Crew MI thought about Easter and what it means to Christians and what it means to us personally. We created an anchor chart all about Easter then put our ideas into a whole crew acrostic poem. We then created our own poems to go inside our Easter cards that we have created during our latest art slice 🙂 We are looking forward to taking these home and sharing with our families.
Nursery had lots of fun in maths today practicing drawing different shapes and learning their shape names ready to practice sorting them tomorrow. Ruby even chose to practice drawing rectangles in provision this morning.
MI are really enjoying publishing their non chronological reports on tigers! They are loving seeing their writing come to life whilst adding their own title, sub headings and pictures to their work. We can’t wait to see them all completed later in the week 🙂
In our Crew this morning, we shared our feelings and started to learn about how to keep our minds healthy. We unpicked what the word ‘mental’ means and then discussed ‘mental well-being’. After a crew conversation around what we all enjoy doing, we completed a yoga task to start our day off calmly and positive.
During our debrief, we reflected on what we had learned about why it is important to look after ourselves.
Summer, ‘It is important to keep mentally healthy so that you can be positive.’
Levi, ‘If you have a good mental health you can think better and clearer.’
Lydia, ‘It’s important to look after ourselves to live a happy and healthy life.’
Shelby, ‘The yoga was calming and can help you let out any stresses. You can do this at home too.’
Joshua, ‘I am going to try and make sure I sleep for longer to be healthier.’
Our entry ticket allowed us to think about the word inventor and what it means. We tried to think of any words that belong to this word family. We thought about the root word first and what it meant. Children thought about the word invent, inventing and invention. We shared our understanding of the word with the whole crew.
We then looked at some of the vocabulary that would appear in the text. Before we were introduced to the word class of each word, we discussed this with our partner. We also tried to put each word into context to help us gain a better understanding of what the words meant. As we read, we then text marked these words. We also tried to circle any other unfamiliar vocabulary and tried to think of one fact that we thought was really interesting. We placed an exclamation mark by this fact. We shared this with our partner then with the whole crew. Our reasons to read challenged our thinking 🙂 We even voiced our own opinions on the invention of the telephone.
Tomorrow we will continue with our book talk session where we will read about Josephine Garis Cochrane, the lady who invented the dishwasher!
Some of us worked on multiplying whole numbers by 10,100 and 1000 today then moved onto doing the same for decimals. Some of us were consolidating our written methods where we worked out if we had to exchange or carry. A great lesson MI 🙂
After a successful mock SATS week, Y6 had some quality crew time together on Thursday afternoon spent eating chocolate cake, dancing and laughing. Well deserved Y6, they have done us proud this week!
