The children have loved dressing up in their favourite characters for world day and we have been super impressed with the paper plates designs. Crew F2 have also enjoyed spending time with the older children reading to them. They were really impressed and can not wait to be able to read as well as them!
We thoroughly enjoyed learning about and investigating conductors and insulators. Before conducting our experiment, we made predictions about which materials would be conductors (allowing electricity to pass through) and which would be insulators (blocking the flow of electricity). As a crew, we discussed how to ensure a fair test by identifying the variables – keeping the circuit the same while changing only the materials. We then carried out our investigation, recorded our findings in a results table, concluding our results.
We really do love our timestable sessions 🙂
Magic maths allowed us to consolidate our learning on measure where we converted between units before ordering from shortest to longest. The main part of our maths lesson looked at using bar models to find equivalent fractions. We all then moved onto some reasoning and problem solving questions. The problems today proved to be really challenging however children showed great resilience, supporting each other to talk through the problems and showing their working out with a bar model. Great collaborative working MI 🙂
Our PE lesson today kickstarted our basketball unit. We looked at the techniques needed when dribbling and we also thought about space awareness. A great lesson MI 🙂
Today, we had just two minutes to rehearse a line from our speeches before delivering them to the class! It was a fun and exciting challenge, pushing us to think quickly and speak confidently. Even with little time to prepare, everyone did an amazing job sharing our ideas. It was a great way to practice speaking on the spot!
In magic maths, we have been focusing on fact families so we worked as a small group matching the multiplications and divisions.
It was fantastic to see so many children dressed up for World Book Day. We even had a dinosaur loose in the classroom.
In crew, we checked in by telling the crew which character they’d come as.
After break, we read with Crew Robson which was such a lovely time. It was lovely hearing the children read to younger children but also to hear them being confident enough to read to older children. And of course this was even better with a biscuit.
Well done to the effort and creativity that went into the paper plate challenge. Unfortunately we couldn’t give everyone a prize but well done to Lily-Ann and Emily.
In Science, we investigated what happens when you add a switch to a circuit. Children were given equipment and had to build a circuit before figuring out how to add the switch.
Children discovered that when a switch is on it completes the circuit, therefore allowing electricity to flow through the circuit.
When it is off. It creates a break in the circuit which stops the electricity from flowing through the circuit.
