Looking after our school environment🚯
As part of hook week, we have been outside on to the school field to pick up some litter. It was really surprising to see how much litter there is on our field. We collected lots of rubbish which we aim to make some artwork out of later on in the week.
Reading in MI
Today in reading we continued to explore our new text! We enjoyed reading out loud with our partners today, recapping the new vocabulary that we learnt yesterday. We text marked this new vocabulary and thought again about word class. We then moved onto to look at some fact and retrieval questions doing some demonstration comprehension with Mrs McClare. We really thought about how we go about answering questions and what we need to look for in the questions. Once we had done some together, we then worked independently or with partner support to answer our own questions. We really enjoyed our lesson and proved we could use the text to find answers.
Sculpture making in MI
Today we explored some of the sculptures Yinka our artist had created. We thought about what we could see and what we thought the art was showing and representing. We offered our own critique giving praises, notices and wonders for each piece of art. We learnt that Yinka created the art in response to migration and the structures mimic the sails of the ships as they migrate across the sea. We then looked at a model that our teachers had created! We enjoyed giving praises, notices and wonders for this! We then got busy on our own sculptures!
MI’s finished book covers
Here are our finished book covers which will be part of our cultural diversity display in our library. We enjoyed using African patterns on our art work as well as thinking about the significant people in our lives who will be on the spine of our books.
History in MI
Today we started to think about what a historian is and what history is. We explored the terms chronological order, reference point and timeline. We thought about the historical events we already knew and tried to think of their place in history. We looked at and explored a world history timeline, placing the events we had voiced in the correct place. We thought about BC and AD and what these mean. We then worked in mini crews to order events in chronological order. We then looked more at where the 19th century is on our timeline and which events in history are around this time.
Caring crew in MI
Today we discussed and explored mental and physical health. We thought about our favourite sports and activities then looked at our heart rate and what happens when we start exercising! We enjoyed playing sporting charades!
Reading in MI
Today we started our first hooked on books reading lesson where we started to explore our new text, ‘African Tales’ We explored the front cover and blurb thinking about what we noticed and we tried to make connections between other texts we had read. We explored and read the text in detail which really engaged us! We all wanted to start reading the book! We then looked at some vocabulary that would appear in the text when we started to read. We thought about definitions of each word and which word class the words belonged to. We then read part of the text using a chorus read, read around the robin as well as reading with our partner. We even started some text marking 🙂
The Jolly Postman visits the UK
To hook us into our new expedition we experienced a very British afternoon.
We started with some ballroom dancing.
We then ate and drank a classical British treat of scones laced with butter and jam and a nice warm cup of tea.
Hopefully the postman will enjoy his visit to the UK.I wonder where he will go next?
