Comparing numbers to 10

19th March 2024A Welburn

Crew MW have been working on making numbers to 10 and comparing them in maths today. We started by looking at the domino sets and telling our partners how many spots were on each side and how many we had altogether. We then compared the dominoes using the vocabulary, ‘more’, ‘less’, or ‘equal’.

Once we had practiced using our new vocabulary, we made numbers on our tens frames and used our vocabulary to compare how many we had. We’re getting really good at recognising how many counters are in our tens frame without counting them by grouping and using our number bonds. Well done Crew MW!

Crew Challenge!

19th March 2024A Welburn

This morning in crew, we were challenged to build a tower in small crew circles using different resources. One crew used wooden blocks and the other crew used duplo. Miss Welburn also set us a HOWLs challenge to make sure that we were all working hard by showing we were involved and taking part in the challenge. We worked really well in our small crew circles and we built some fantastic towers! We also worked really hard to make sure that everyone was involved and taking part. Well done Crew MW!

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

19th March 2024Stacey McClare

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?

19th March 2024Laura Godley

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!
