Past few weeks in Crew Tymon.
We made some oobleck to practice our cleaning skills, we made some salt dough to work on leaning our numbers and our sharing skills. We made some Pudsey bear faces and made him an eye patch using stickers to focus on our fine motor skills.

Magic maths in MI
Lots of consolidation in magic maths today 🙂 We recapped some of the place value learning we had done back at the start of the year along with some problems around perimeter and statistics. Great work MI 🙂
Grammar in MI
Today we discussed cohesion within and between paragraphs. We spent some time unpicking different paragraphs on different extinct animals. We discussed TIDE, where we found the transition/introductory sentence, the we found the development sentences then moving onto the ending sentence. We used highlighters to show these different sections. We then focussed on the Tecopa pupfish again using TIDE to explore the paragraph. From here we grouped our facts into sections which will support us when we write our plot point.
We then moved onto modifying the different verbs in a paragraph with adverbials. We looked at a piece of text, identifying the verb/verb phrase, the subject and the leftovers. We quickly realised that the sentences were very simple and included lots of repetition. From here we used TRaMP yo modify an adverbial, thinking about time, reason, manner and place. We then moved the adverbials around to show different structures. We are looking forward to continuing with this tomorrow.
Challenge crew in MI
Today our crew challenge was rock, paper, scissors! We worked in groups of three, one person recording the score on whiteboards! We then swapped roles. The winners of the group then competed with each other until we had an overall champion 🙂 We loved this challenge! There was a real buzz in the classroom, lots of giggles and smiles and lots of encouragement.
The three little pigs
In our experience lesson we pretended to be the three little pigs and built two different houses – a stick one and a brick one. We then tried to see if we could blow them down like the wolf.
Division
In maths, we started to learn more about dividing. We got the concrete resources out and shared the blocks into equal groups! We really enjoyed doing this and could answer a variety of dividing questions!
Art continues in MI
Crew MI are beaming with pride with their final pieces of art work and we couldn’t be more proud of each and every member of our crew. Well done everybody 🙂
Three Little Pigs Experience Lesson
This week in writing we are thinking about the story of the Three Little Pigs and linking it to our science work on materials.
Today we experienced being the second and third pigs who built their houses out of sticks and bricks. It was definitely challenging but we showed determination and resilience!
