Book Talk 📚🗣

28th February 2024Kate Thompson

In our book talk lessons this week, we have been reading “The Last Bear” by Hannah Gold. We have read the pages of the book and text marked all the important information and unpicked the vocabulary we wasn’t sure of. Crew Thompson are really improving when using the skill reading around the word to unpick the meaning. For example, “skywards” was a word we didn’t understand but when we read around the word and it told us he looked skywards we were able to break it down. We then made a glossary of the key words and wrote the definition.

Citizenship crew in MI

28th February 2024Stacey McClare

Today we thought about and discussed why we should share our own thoughts and feelings and how we can do this. We thought about what makes positive and healthy friendships and why it is important to have these. We then looked at some different scenarios, identifying the positive impact of sharing true thoughts and feelings. We unpicked the scenarios and gave our views and opinions on what the individuals should do. Some great discussions today MI 🙂

Super scientists! 🥼🧑‍🔬

In expedition today, we set up our experiment. First we thought of a title for our experiment “How does temperature of water change when using different materials?”. Then, we came up with a prediction – what we thought would happen in this experiment. We had some great ideas such as “the water in the glass cup will be hotter because it will act like a blanket and keep the heat in.” We then wrote our equipment list. Finally, we set up our experiment. We can’t wait to record the results and finish writing our science report. 🥼✍️

Challenge crew 👂🔂

In challenge crew, we played a game called jump in, jump out. First, we circled up and had to follow instructions “jump in” “jump out” “jump left” and “jump right”. We noticed some of us struggled with left and right so we had to work together and communicate to achieve this. Then, we moved onto a challenge and had to do what Miss Thompson said but chant back the opposite. For example if Miss Thompson said “jump left” we jumped left but had to say “jump right”. This definitely required lots of thinking and turned our brains on this morning 🧠🤔

A sensory experience!

In Crew MW we have been looking at using our descriptive vocabulary during provision. We set up a sensory tray using soap and conditioner and got stuck in! We swirled, squeezed, squiggled and splatted while talking about what we could smell, describing the smell as delicious, coconut, sweet, milky, and how the texture felt using, oozing, soft, sticky, fluffy! We had so much fun exploring and writing in the mixture.
