Another week has been completed in Crew 4 😁 Week 5 has been an interesting week and I think that, if we are being honest, we are starting to feel quite tired now. Our HoWL averages have been slightly lower than what they normally are, as we have really tried to focus on working hard when we are feeling tired and our resilience is being challenged. It has been quite tricky at times, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t had some strong learning opportunities!
The Crew have been working on their Lindisfarne writing and have produced some really lovely similes, expanded noun phrases and tried to include a range of interesting fronted adverbial. In reading, we continue to build up our expression and fluency skills, so that we are getting smarter with our reading skills.
Maths has been the highlight this week, as we have rolled out our new maths. We’ve especially loved playing the game ‘beat Siri’, as we try to improve our arithmetic skills. We’ve also included our mild, hot and spicy challenges in order to build up our fluency. This really has felt successful and we are pleased with hour much everyone is enjoying their maths learning.
Expedition has been fun this week, as we have been continuing to link our writing to the Vikings. This is helping us answer our Guiding Question ‘Coming to Doncaster; why then and why now?’ There have been some fantastic pieces of art and we have really enjoyed looking at some beautiful work.
Next week is a fresh start Crew 4, so we wonder if we are able to listen carefully and much better? This will help us to get smarter, whilst also improving our HoWL averages. Have a lovely weekend guys! 😆
