Drawing Challenge

This morning in Crew we discussed having a positive attitude even when things are tricky. We talked about how we all find different things hard and for some of us this is drawing. We had a go and following a how to draw video and practiced showing perseverance!

Getting Smart in Nursery

Today, in nursery, we looked at different sea shells and described how they felt. The children came up with lots of good adjectives like, bumpy, smooth, soft, hard, rough, spikey and white.

We also have been learning about number 1 and practicing our number formation in maths. We are getting smart at recognising numeral 1 and objects by themselves.

Book talk continues in MI

We are really loving reading in MI at the minute! Everyone is always so excited to find out what will happen next in the story. Our entry ticket looked at fact and opinion statements which is something we are trying hard to work on. We then played 4 corners where we looked at some of the vocabulary that would appear in the text as we read. We always love playing this! When reading today, we read with a partner and independently. Again we worked on the fluency of our reading. Our reasons to read allowed us to give some of our impressions on the different characters but we used the text to support our ideas. Our exit ticket allowed us to voice our most memorable moments in the story so far and this was a great discussion as a whole crew.

Challenge Crew in MI

Today we started our crew session with the birthday line up challenge. We had to order ourselves in the correct order and to do this we had to communicate effectively. After the first challenge we thought about how the challenge had gone and thought about how we could work together a little better for the next challenge. We also ordered ourselves looking at our shoe size and our height! We really enjoyed our crew challenge this morning 🙂

Safari dance

In our dance lesson today we created a crew safari dance, we looked out for the different animals that we might see when going on safari and how they might look and move. We are getting so good at counting to 8 in our head so we are all time!

It’s all about the view…

Today we finished our book of “Our Tower” the children met a man in the tree who gifted them a stone with a hole in it, the stone gave them a different view of the world. Once leaving the magical inside of the tree the children decided to use this to view their city. This now looked completely different through their viewpoint – the once grey and dull city no longer looked dull and boring but now looked fun with people having picnics and playing, the sun was shining and everyone was having fun.

It left us thinking that if you change your view on something it might not be as bad as it seems.
