We continued our book talk this week by text marking our non fiction text. We have used this as an opportunity to start making connections with the things we’re reading.

Grammar Morning Task
This week is our grammar focus morning tasks. We used this time to consolidate previous learning.
Arithmetic in MI
We have had 2 amazing arithmetic sessions so far this week and there has been some incredible resilience shown. We have worked on many different areas from our previous arithmetic assessment and tried to consolidate and practice. We are getting much more confident which is so lovely to see 🙂
Dodgeball in MI
MI have continued to work on the skills needed for a game of dodgeball 🙂
Book Talk – Guardians of the planet
In our first book talk lesson this week, we started our new book “Guardians of the planet – how to be an eco-hero”. We started the lesson with jigsaw of the front cover. We really enjoyed completing this and seeing what we noticed about the book. We already had some amazing questions such as “why are there wind turbines on the front cover?” and “what impacts are we having on food and animals?”
E Safety day! 🌎💻
This morning in crew, we looked at how we can keep ourselves safe whilst using the internet. First, we had a discussion on how we keep ourselves safe in school, the playground and the wider community. We came up with some fantastic ideas such as “follow the rules and listen to instructions” “don’t talk to strangers and people we don’t know” and “don’t use the tyres and climbing frames when it has rained as they will be wet and slippy and we could get hurt”. We then discussed the different ways we can access the internet and why we need to use it. It provides us with entertainment, allows us to communicate with others and can help us to learn new things. Finally, we designed an influencer who had a positive impact on the wider community. Some ideas we came up with were: gymnasts, gamers, fashion designers and athletics.
Investigating number 6!
Crew MW have been investigating number 6 today. We’ve used the numicon to find the different ways to make 6 and shared these with our friends. Have a look at some of the ways that we found…
Book talk in MI
Our entry tickets allowed us to make predictions on our new text. We used the pictures and title to help us with this. We made notices and wonders then made links to previous stories we had read. We then unpicked the title and again thought about what may happen. From here we explored our new vocabulary and tried to think of examples when we had used each word. From here we started to explore the text. We text marked our new vocabulary as we read. We were asked lots of questions about the text as we read, assessing our understanding. We then thought more about the setting and we drew our ideas! We really loved doing this. We used the text to support us and tried to label what we had drawn. We then shared this with a peer 🙂
Magic maths in MI
Lots of consolidation in magic maths today 🙂
Before, next and after 🕰️
Crew Godley have begun their new maths unit this week, Time. To begin with with delved into the language – before, first, next, after, then and finally! We ordered sequences of events and used sentences to articulate ours and other actions. We were very confident and carried out lots of activities to consolidate our knowledge.
