In today’s experience lesson we read about how Florence Nightingale looked after the poorly soldiers when it got dark. We learnt she was also called the lady of the lamp as she carried a lamp around with her in the evening. In our experience lesson we all created our own lamp to be able to be just like Florence. It was a tricky cutting and sticking task but we all followed the instructions.
The children played a game of hide and seek, whereby the children pretended to be Vlad the flea and hid in the hospital to make sure the adults (Florence Nightingale and the nurses) could not find them and kick them out of the new nice clean hospital. We then acted out looking after the poorly soldiers and gave them the medical care that they needed.
Today we played hide and seek with Vlad! To begin with the children estimated how big Vlad was and were shocked at just how small a flea actually was. They then spent time searching for Vlad and after a few clues Henry found him hiding under a table!
In our writing lesson today, we have looked at different diary entries and discussed what features are included. We found that there are personal pronouns, time fronted adverbials, date, Dear Diary and it is written in past tense. We all worked incredibly hard to find these features in a Roman diary entry.
Today we have cleaned our dirty hospital, so the soldiers can get better. Florence Nightingale bossed all of us about in order to make sure everywhere was clean: we swept the floor, mopped the floor, scrubbed the tables, scrubbed the floor and tidied up all of the dirt. We did such a good job it was sparkling clean!
Today we thought about the Lorax’s appearance and personality. We worked in mini crews to build ideas together and then shared our ideas with the rest of the crew. We all had a go at writing an idea down and everyone shared one of their own. We will use our chotting after the holidays to create our own character description.
This term we have been writing about and reading Little Red Riding Hood. For our experience morning, in Crew Pashley, we made a witches potion ✨ for the Bad Wolf🐺 from Little Red Riding Hood. We discussed other ways to get rid of the wolf, like scaring him. The potion is used to get rid of the wolf when he eats grandma by turning him into a frog. We included lots of different things in our potions, including beads, pasta, rice and pom poms. We practised measuring out the potion into containers using a fake syringe, cups and the spoons.
