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.
Challenge Crew ✍🏻🏡
During this morning’s challenge crew, we were divided into pairs and challenged to use our listening and instructional skills. One person in the pair was shown a picture and they had to give instructions to their partner on what they needed to draw, without telling them what the picture was going to be. We all guessed pretty quickly that it was a house but not all of us got close enough to the actual image. Which picture do you think is closest?
Magnetic or Non-Magnetic? 🧲
Crew Hamill continued their investigations with magnets by identifying materials around school that are magnetic and non-magnetic. It was interesting to find out that all magnetic materials are made from metal but that not all metals are magnetic!

Art technique practice in MI
Firstly we recapped the techniques needed for mosaic art then we looked at and explored some of the images we will use as a stimulus for our own mosaic art pieces. We thought about which parts we needed to practise, which parts may be difficult to create and which equipment we may use. After modelling from the teacher on the different parts we started to apply to our practise paper. We then took part in a gallery walk thinking about what we could see, how other people’s work compares to our own, then we paired up with another crew member and offered some critique. Our exit ticket allowed us to think about what we would do differently next time when we complete the process again.
Inference
In reading, we have been focusing more on inference style questions as this is an area that we need to develop. We have been unpacking the questions and thinking about the skills needed to answer these type of questions.
Case Study Reflection
This afternoon, we have completed our case study reflection for Science. We had the opportunity to reflect on our learning using the rubrics and demonstrate our understanding of what we’ve covered.
