Today we used our chotting from yesterday to complete a shared write and then we wrote the first chunk of PP2. We used some great similes to describe our feelings aswell as the thunder and lightning. A great writing lesson today in MI 🙂
Yesterday we began to explore non-fiction writing. We are going to create our own non-chronological report all about hedgehogs as we have been learning about them in our expedition lessons. We stared by exploring the features of a non-chronological report such as headings and subheadings. We then worked in pairs to find out some of our own hedgehog facts to use in our writing later in the week.
Our crew check in this morning really got us thinking… Which of the characters would you like to be and why? Some very interesting discussions!! We have then been working on our own crew story for the year 1 children. We are creating a new story that we will share with Crew Marsh at the end of the week! We have tried to include some of the writing features we have been working on- descriptive language, conjunctions, adverbials and similes 🙂 Our imaginations run wild when we got creative! We have defiantly made a great start this morning and can’t wait to finish it in crew tomorrow.
Today we continued to work on calculating the perimeter in our maths lesson 🙂 We even moved onto some reasoning and problem solving questions which was fantastic to see.
In magic maths we worked really hard chanting our times tables and then worked on rockstars to continue to work on the pace of our times tables. We also consolidated our learning from last week looking at ordering numbers from smallest to largest and from largest to smallest. A great start to the day in MI 🙂
In our book talk lessons this week, we have been text marking the next pages in our book “The Last Bear” by Hannah Gold. The children really enjoyed finding out what happened after April and her dad received the official government letter. The children picked out lots of words they didn’t understand and we were able to discuss reading around the word to figure it out. Some children had used their grammar knowledge and found words with capital letters. They remembered that words starting with capital letters are nouns so Oslo is a place.
In writing we had to sort the pictures into the correct order from watching a clip.
It was lovely that some of the children brought in their favourite books from home. They shared why they enjoyed reading them and even better that they read these stories to their younger siblings. We’ll hopefully have a few more to share throughout the week.
This week, in Crew Pashley, our kindness mission is to say good morning and good afternoon to grown ups around school. We are trying hard to show kindness to everyone around school.
In RE, we discussed what worshipping was, why people do it and where people do it. We reflected on all of this and explored how it is different in different religions.
