Today was a very challenging session, we had to really use our listening skills to guide our peers around the obstacle course. We had to show we were resilient as at times it was very tricky to direct each other. We were so proud how all the children worked together and listened carefully to instructions. Great crew work, Crew Godley!
Today we thought about and discussed why we should share our own thoughts and feelings and how we can do this. We thought about what makes positive and healthy friendships and why it is important to have these. We then looked at some different scenarios, identifying the positive impact of sharing true thoughts and feelings. We unpicked the scenarios and gave our views and opinions on what the individuals should do. Some great discussions today MI 🙂
A great turn out today for beautiful work! Fantastic work everyone! It was so lovely sharing your work with you all 🙂
In expedition today, we set up our experiment. First we thought of a title for our experiment “How does temperature of water change when using different materials?”. Then, we came up with a prediction – what we thought would happen in this experiment. We had some great ideas such as “the water in the glass cup will be hotter because it will act like a blanket and keep the heat in.” We then wrote our equipment list. Finally, we set up our experiment. We can’t wait to record the results and finish writing our science report. 🥼✍️
In challenge crew, we played a game called jump in, jump out. First, we circled up and had to follow instructions “jump in” “jump out” “jump left” and “jump right”. We noticed some of us struggled with left and right so we had to work together and communicate to achieve this. Then, we moved onto a challenge and had to do what Miss Thompson said but chant back the opposite. For example if Miss Thompson said “jump left” we jumped left but had to say “jump right”. This definitely required lots of thinking and turned our brains on this morning 🧠🤔
A great warm up and practise of skills before applying to a game situation. We are really loving our dodgeball lessons 🙂
In Crew MW we have been looking at using our descriptive vocabulary during provision. We set up a sensory tray using soap and conditioner and got stuck in! We swirled, squeezed, squiggled and splatted while talking about what we could smell, describing the smell as delicious, coconut, sweet, milky, and how the texture felt using, oozing, soft, sticky, fluffy! We had so much fun exploring and writing in the mixture.
Today in maths, we have looked at doubling numbers. We doubled the ladybird’s spots and told our partners what double the number was. We then used our fingers to show double the numbers. We’re getting really good at remembering our doubles!
Crew MW had an exciting walk around our local environment on Friday. We spent our walk looking out for buildings in the village that we recognised, local places that people work and we spotted signs of spring. We had lots of fun exploring!
Last week in maths, we begun looking at pairs. We started off by taking items from a basket and finding our pair within the room. Next, Miss Welburn set us a challenge of pairing up all of the wellies from our pegs. We worked really hard to pair them all up and explained how we knew that they were pairs using size, patterns and colours.
