To hook us into our new expedition we experienced a very British afternoon.
We started with some ballroom dancing.
We then ate and drank a classical British treat of scones laced with butter and jam and a nice warm cup of tea.
Hopefully the postman will enjoy his visit to the UK.I wonder where he will go next?
In today’s writing lesson we read where the postman delivered his christmas mail to next, it was to a red tin house that was tiny. It belonged to a gingerbread man. We created our own gingerbread men and then looked at the book that the postman delivered him. We loved reading the story that the postman had posted and then enjoyed a cup of tea and mini mince pie.
Another busy day as postman in Crew Marsh and luckily it was our last.
Today in Y1 we started our christmas writing by reading the christmas jollypostman. He firstly delivered a christmas card to baby bear at the three bears house, we therefore decorated our own card for baby bear and then delivered it to their house. We noticed Mummy bear decorating a christmas tree and enjoyed some warm, delicious porridge.
This morning, Crew Mc have learned the difference between formal and informal language. We worked in pairs to match the similar sentences together – We understand that these sentences mean the same but can be written differently (formally or informally).
Last week, we finished our Christmas writing. The children spent some time reading their writing aloud to their peers to ensure that it was punctuated accurately and that it made sense. This has been their best piece yet where children met all the learning targets and showed some stamina for writing. I’m excited to see what their next piece brings…
In our experience lesson we each made a mouse so we could put it in our shoe for their new house just like in the story The Smartest Giant in town. We loved reading this book again and found it funny that George the giant had to hop away because he has given one of his shoes.
Today we started our Christmas writing by watching the story of The Jolly Postman. Henry realised straight away that in the book the postman visited famous characters from other traditional tales. We then talked about what kinds of things the postman would deliver to your house at Christmas time including gifts and cards. In the Jolly Christmas Postman the first house he visits is the Three Bears so we made Christmas cards for Baby Bear.
Today we started out a Christmas writing, The Jolly Postman’s Christmas 🎅 we discovered his first port of call was The Three Bears house where he delivered a card to Baby Bear. To immerse ourselves into the text we made our own cards to deliver to baby bear.
Crew Godley have been working incredibly hard to improve their writing by adding adjectives and conjunctions, as well as remembering our presentation. Oliver worked incredibly hard to get smart, by applying everything he knew, independently ✍️
Today we continued to read The Smartest Giant in Town. The next character George meets is a family of mice whose house has burned down. For our experience lesson we made mice. They were very cute!
