In PE we created dances using the weather and what we might do when we experience that weather.
We looked at sunshine, snow and rain.

Citizenship crew – is it fair?
Today we looked at what the word fair means and that it does not mean that everyone has to have the same or equal all of the time. We voted on different situations with our voting cards.
Sailing to the south pole! 🚣🏻♂️
In todays experience lesson we have made our own boat just like the boy in our story and sailed with penguin to the south pole. There was some choppy water and angry clouds, so we got to experience a storm!
Art continues in MI
Today we started sketching out and creating our final draft for our mosaic. We are really enjoying creating our Easter cards 🙂 In maths we have been looking at lines of symmetry and symmetrical patterns and we are trying to apply our learning to our butterflies wings.
Book talk continues in MI
Our entry ticket allowed us to reflect on yesterdays lesson and what we learnt about Mauritius. We created our own flag using our knowledge. It was great to see how much we had remembered.
We then unpicked our new language and discussed which text marking symbols we would focus on as we read. We read independently and with our partners today and we also listened to Mrs McClare read the text focussing on expression and fluency. Our reasons to read allowed us to get practical, sorting statements into two categories. We worked in mini crews to read each statement and decide if it was a fact for Madagascar or a fact for Gabon. We then shared our facts as a whole crew 🙂 We then looked at another impressions question, using the text to support our ideas. We are becoming more confident when answering this type of questions.
Our exit ticket assessed our whole understanding of the texts we had read. We sorted our cards again but this time thinking about the order they appear in the text. We used the text too to help us do this.
Citizenship Crew ~ Is it fair?
Today in crew we explored fairnesses. We explored different scenarios and if we felt they were fair or not, we had some great discussions around how fair can look different to people. Being fair doesn’t always mean that everyone gets the same thing or the same amount of something. It means that everyone gets what they need – this sometimes means people get different things.
We concluded that if all people are treated fairly and treat others fairly too, it can help us all to live happy, healthy and safe lives – it can help people to feel good on the inside!
Beautiful Work
Leo has been working incredibly hard in Crew, his writing has absolutely blown us all away! He had presented his work beautifully ready for our display. We are so proud of you, Leo!
Symmetrical patterns in MI
Today we looked at symmetrical figures using a mirror line to reflect given shapes and patterns. We found this tricky at first, but after some practise in mini crews and as a whole crew, we were able to apply our knowledge to some questions. We really enjoyed our maths lesson today, some of us even achieved green standard! Fab work MI 🙂
Challenge crew in MI
We completed this challenge a few weeks ago and this week the roles were reversed so our partners got a chance to draw. We took part in the blind picture challenge 🙂 We really thought about our previous debrief and the feedback we gave to each other in order to make this challenge more successful. There was some great communication throughout the challenge where partners remained calm, giving instructions that would support partners to draw the picture effectively. A great crew session this morning 🙂
The Good Samaritan
Today in RE we explored what makes a Good Samaritan, we looked at the story from the Bible, The Good Samaritan to explore what Jesus was trying to teach Christians. We discovered that the Samaritan, regardless of his thoughts and beliefs about the Jew who needed his help showed kindness and empathy to support him. He helped the Jew travel to the inn keeper on his donkey, paid for his stay and gave him bandages and oil to treat his wounds.
