Independent Writing In Crew Hamill

Crew Hamill have worked extremely hard over the last few days to complete their independent write. We began with a recap of our grammar, ensuring we can still label the verb, subject and everything else in our sentences to ensure they are punctuated correctly. We then used a stimulus of a short film, Francis to create a descriptive piece of writing. We have chotted ideas together as a crew in order to complete a setting description of where Francis is as well as a character description of Francis herself. We have then used the resources available to us – word banks, chotting sheets and pictures – to write our descriptions.

Red Nose Day Fun!

To celebrate Red Nose Day, our school turned fundraising into a splash of fun! Mr Williamson bravely faced the challenge of being squirted with red paint, all in the name of raising money for a great cause. Laughter and a whole lot of red made it an afternoon to remember! Thank you to everyone who joined in and supported.

Fractions

This week we have been exploring fractions, we have used many manipulative to secure our understanding and on Friday, it got a whole lot tastier! We used parts of a pizza to understand denominators. When we divided our pizza into equal slices, we could visualise that each slice represented a fraction of the whole pizza. Who knew math could be so delicious?

Labelling Body Parts

In our expedition lesson we took our learning outside into the sunshine.

We used chalk to draw around each other and then labelled as many body parts as we could. It was lovely to see everyone so engaged. Well done crew!
