Library visit in MT

20th May 2025Stacey McClare

We have enjoyed visiting the library this week in Crew MT! We have loved just getting lost in a book of our choice whilst also reading out loud with a partner, thinking about our fluency and expression. We also gave our partner some critique and they then tried to work on this feedback. We really enjoyed just sitting with our peers and showing our love of reading. Mrs McClare enjoyed listening to some of us read too 🙂

Telling the time to one minute

15th May 2025Kate Thompson

In maths, we consolidated telling the time to the nearest 5 minutes before we moved on to telling the time to the minute. We used the clocks to show the time. We started with showing the minutes past the hour and then moved on to minutes to the hour. We found minutes to tricker, but we persevered and managed to do this by the end of the lesson!
