World Book Day!
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!
Conductors and Insulators
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.
Timestable carousel
We really do love our timestable sessions 🙂
Maths in MI
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 🙂
Basketball in 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 🙂
Oscar and the Bird
Practicing speaking on the spot!
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!
Fact Families
In magic maths, we have been focusing on fact families so we worked as a small group matching the multiplications and divisions.
World Book Day
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.
