Crew Welburn loved getting out in the forest and getting muddy. They found lots of interesting bugs. We even found slug eggs.

Mindful Colouring in Crew
Today in Crew we talked about our mental health. We enjoyed some mindful colouring and some calming music.
Maths in MI
Our do now allowed us to consolidate our learning on roman numerals, we are all getting really confident with these 🙂 The activate part of the lesson really got us thinking. ‘The answer is 100’ What could the question be? There were some great collaborative working on this and some great questions were generated. Well done MI 🙂
Book talk in MI
We really loved the activate part of our reading lesson today, an inference activity. We read a short passage and discussed the questions in mini crews. I was blown away with some of the ideas the children came up with! We then moved onto another non fiction extract on evacuation. We used lots of our expeditionary learning when discussing the text further. There was some great skimming and scanning of the text today to find answers during our reasons to read. I was particularly impressed with the questions children were asking and how engaged they were. Our exit ticket really showed children’s improved confidence with skimming and scanning.
We’re looking for an Art Teacher at XP Doncaster
Applying our knowledge of women’s roles
Today we built on the knowledge we had gained on women’s roles during WW2 and applied this to a short piece of writing. We thought about what life was like for women before the war and why the opportunities of women were different to men. We then wrote about how the experiences of women changed when WW2 broke out and why this changed happened. From he we thought about how women’s lives then changed after the war and peoples attitudes towards women. This was a great exit ticket helping us reflect on our learning.
PVPG
Crew McLoughlin are blowing me away with our knowledge of nouns and verbs! In our latest unit focusing on verbs we have not just covered verbs to be, verbs to have and action verbs but secured our knowledge on singular and plural, simple past, present and future tense. Whilst covering this we have discussed standard English and the use of regular and irregular verbs in verb phrases.
This is a lot to get your head around but the children have met their HoWL targets every lesson and as a result met their learning targets. Check out our learning journey of our PVPG so far!
Arithmetic consolidation
To consolidate our operation skills we participated in a carousel of activities. There were four stations: short division, long division, long multiplication and TTRS as we are still getting some questions incorrect because of our times tables knowledge!
Roman numerals…
Today in Crew MI, we enjoyed learning about roman numerals. We decided it was like trying to crack a code. We learnt that different letters meant different symbols and we had to put them in the right order to create our numbers. We then put this into practise a completed a task on my maths.
Single Clause Sentences…
We had a great lesson in Crew MI where we began thinking how we could build single clause sentences that included a subject and a verb. We were able to identify these and then decide where the capital letter and full stop should go. Some of us even had a go at including a conjunction to link the clauses.
