The children have worked so hard in writing lessons over the last two weeks. They have now finished their ”The tunnel” books and look forward to sharing them with you at the reading care on Thursday.
We have also been trying really hard with our sentence formation.
To kick start our King Charles learning we looked at memories of the Queen that have happened over her reign. We looked at the Queen’s coronation and the Queen’s platinum jubilee. We really enjoyed watching the different memories and learning/understanding what happened in them and why.
To kick start off our new expedition learning-Earth Shattering Events- Crew Pashley, Crew Thompson and Crew FE participated in various activities throughout hook week. We sketched snapshots of life in Pompeii, to create whole crew storyboards demonstrating what it was like when Mount Vesuvius erupted.
All the crews participated in a carousel of activities and experiments to begin our learning on natural disasters. We made coke and mentos volcanoes, experienced what a cold flood would feel like, and experienced what an earthquake would feel like.
Today in Crew Pashley we celebrated Earth Day. This morning in citizenship crew we designed our own recyclable paper bag around sustainability. This afternoon, we concluded our hook week learning by having a family learning event with various activities centred around Earth Day, including a layers of the Earth collage and a cotton bud painting of the Earth.
We had an exciting job to do today in Crew Welburn – we needed to set our butterflies free! Miss Kelly kindly offered to help us to guide them out of their house and we watched carefully as they flew away to find their new homes!
We have loved following Easter bunnies clues today to find our easter egg treat!
We have loved going to see our forest area today to welcome spring! Look at how Carcroft crews have worked together to create a beautiful spring display.
It was lovely to see so many children take part in the egg competition. You could see they’d really put some though into their design. I especially loved the Black lives matters theme which linked to our current expedition.
A huge well done to everyone that took part.
A even bigger well done to the winners… Chase and Izzy- voted for by their peers.
Today, we invited the wonderful ladies in our lives to join us for a Mother’s Day brunch. It was lovely to see so many smiling faces and it was a really enjoyable morning!
Our beautiful butterfly Mother’s Day cards and bunches of daffodils ready for our special ladies 🦋💖
Wow! What a wonderful day we’ve had at Magna. The children had an amazing time exploring the different areas including fire, earth, air and water. The children participated in 2 workshops linked to Big Circuits and Fuel to help us consolidating our learning throughout the Spring term.
