Discovering rainforest tribes

Whilst reading about the Yanomami tribes, we generated facts, opinions and questions that we would like answering…

During academic crew, we critiques this fractions map and wondered how we can use tools like this at home to get smarter!

Crew MI science lesson

We had a great lesson learning about plants. We actually dissected a flower so we could see the different parts and we labelled them. We learnt about pollination and even acted it out.

Mid week Wednesday

We’ve started reading The Vanishing Rainforest this week by Richard Platt.

We engaged with a ‘conscience alley’ to debate whether we agree with the ‘nabë’ planning on chopping down many of the rainforests trees. Many of us disagreed based on this being unfair for the tribe who live in the forest – no forest means no animals and no food for many people. Some children agreed as more trees could be planted… we listened well and tried to build on each other’s ideas.

This afternoon we practiced different forms of passing in PE. We now are more accurate in passing and aiming!

Crew MI 21.1.21

We have had a really fun couple of days in Crew MI. We have been reading on Myon and taking our Accelerated Reader quizzes. This a great way for us to improve our fluency and comprehension skills. We have also been battling Crew Boswell and Crew Shields on Timestable Rockstars and have even been practising our arithmetic skills on a kahoot quiz.

Have a great weekend!

PE Day Update

Crew Godley’s PE days are on a Wednesday and a Friday for this half term 😊

Can all parents and carers please ensure children are in the correct uniform for PE. We do have spare PE kits for those children who may need one. Our PE kit is as follows:

Plain dark tracksuit bottoms or leggings (shorts in summer)   – White / Red t-shirt / with or without a logo  – Red jumper/or sweatshirt hoodie with or without logo  – Plain black trainers / plain black pump style shoes (for girls).

Thank you for your continued support 😊

Welcome back KS1!

KS1 Crews were so excited to launch their new expeditions this week, ‘The Circle of Life – How will what I do today impact the world tomorrow?’

The children were hooked into their learning by working together as artists and sculptors to create their own own ocean dioramas, craft sea creatures and participated in a virtual author workshop to learn how to create some of the beautiful illustrations that we found in our core text ‘The Blue Giant’. We have some budding artists! Keep you eyes peeled for the finished ocean dioramas on Monday!

This week we visit The Deep, in Hull. We can’t wait to go on an ocean adventure!

Have a lovely weekend, everyone 😊
