Today in book talk, we delved deeper into our text for this week – Wailing Winnie’s Carboot Sale. We used our fastest finger first skills and had a think in our pairs to find the answers to some questions related to the text. We loved reading about Winnie accidentally selling her husband’s pair of old, smelly trainers and the mission she had to go on to get them back.
Today in maths, we were exploring finding 1 more. We chose a number from the spinner, made it and found 1 more! We were really confident in making the number and then showing what 1 more would be using our tens frames and counters.
This morning, we had a video from our school office from the cameras in school. We’d had some visitors last night in our classroom…A group of gingerbread people had snuck through our class and are hiding somewhere in school! We worked out that the next book that we will be looking at is the Gingerbread Man! We read through the story and joined in with the familiar phrases. We are really excited to explore the story and to answer the guiding question, ‘How can we help the gingerbread man to cross the river?’
Pupils had a lovely session yesterday sorting through ingredients to mix their own pancakes…working on communication, interaction and motor skills.
In our experience lesson we created an orange each and then played a game to try and pinch the orange without Handa knowing. We were really good at it!!
Today in our science lesson we learnt the different classifications for animals, they are:
Birds 🐧
Amphibians 🐸
Reptiles 🐍
Mammals 🐄
Fish 🐟
We learnt that each of the different classes had warm or cold blood, webbed feet, could breathe under water, had fur or hair, dry skin and wings. This is how we were able to classify them into groups.
In crew this morning, we looked at what happens to my body and I can get help with any concerns. To be successful in this lesson we had to understand what sort of touch we are happy with and what sort of touch we are not happy with, know the difference between a little deal and a serious problem and know how to get help for myself or others. First, we looked at the choices we make at home, school and outside. Then, we used colours to highlight areas on our body which we were ok for people to touch, areas only our close family and friends could touch and areas that are private and only ourselves can touch.
In Scotty’s this morning, we continued to work on developing our teamwork skills. First, we had a warm up game where we worked as a team to reach the other side. Then, we had a go at making a stretcher to help rescue injured people. This required working as a team as we had to make sure we lifted at exactly the same time. We were all so pleased with our efforts today and can’t wait to take these skills onto the field.
On Monday, we started our case study 2 on science. During our first lessons, we looked at a range of data about Svalbard and discussed what this told us about Svalbard. Some of the information was quite alarming as it shows the detrimental effect global warming is having on this country.
To finish our current music unit ‘Football’, we identified the notes E, D and C on the glockenspiels. We worked with a partner to play a selection of 4 beat pieces of music. We then added our ‘Football’ chant lyrics and created a backing track using the notes E, D and C.
