Today we used our chotting and shared write from last week to help us to write the appearance section of our non chronological report. We used our target grids well today, trying to include varied conjunctions and different openers. This afternoon we started chotting for the next section, a tigers habitat. We all took part in a shared write, trying hard to make positive contributions.
We have learnt about Georges Seurat this week and how he painted his artwork using pointillism. We then practised this on our own lizard.
We are all so excited that we have not got a cheerleading club running at lunchtimes. We cannot wait to see your routines!
In writing today, we wrote PP3 which was all about the surge of water breaking through the ice dam. We picked up the pace needed in this writing lesson and used shorter sentences for the effect. We used lots of features such as expanded noun phrases, fronted adverbials and even managed to use a simile! 😀 What a fantastic writing lesson! We can’t wait to write PP4 on Monday!
Today we were artists and found out about the French post-impressionist artist Georges Seurat.
Seurat used pointillism to create his artwork. After a gallery walk and a critique session we had a go at using the pointillist techniques.
In our book talk lessons this week, we have looked at a different page in our book “Guardians of the planet”. We have read the text, unpicked key vocabulary which we didn’t understand and asked questions about what we had read. We have learnt lots about renewable energy and wind energy whilst adding lots of key vocabulary to our glossary.
Today in Crew we explored things that make us happy and also listened to a ‘Happy’ song!
In Crew Marsh, this afternoon we have learnt about algorithm’s – an algorithm is a set of instructions. We had to follow Miss Marsh’s instructions to get the same outcome.
We first looked to see if children got changed in the same order.
After that we came up with an algorithm for Lincoln to follow so he did get changed the same as Destiny.
We then followed instructions to dress the human the same.
In today’s geography lesson we compared different places in the Uk with places in Africa, we looked at Zanzibar, Madagascar and Johannesburg. We were very good at looking at the similarities and differences with Beeley, London and Skegness.
We noticed Madagascar and Beeley were similar because they both had trees and grass but Madagascar did not buildings.
Over the past two weeks Crew Haigh have been exploring all things Billy Goat Gruff… we have engaged in the story, in sequencing and responding to the sensory items, made troll swamps, made our own bridges and much more. Well done Crew Haigh – super attention and effort.
