In crew this morning, we had a fantastic discussion about how important it is to be both mentally and physically healthy. We first looked at the benefits of being physically and mentally healthy and then had a go at some yoga 🧘
Mindful Monday🧘♀️
Budding Artists 👩🎨
Today we have done our first draft of our African inspired pointillism. In Crew Godley we are painting tigers 🐯 we have critiqued these using Austin’s Butterfly ready for our second draft.
Writing in MI
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.
Book talk in MI
Our entry ticket allowed us to compare Nigeria and Sierra Leone, the text we looked at last week. We then played 4 corners looking at some of the vocabulary that would appear in our text today. We loved playing this and really thought about words in context and the word class of each word. We supported each other and discussed the words before moving to the corner we thought was correct. Today we did some independent reading but we all read out-loud. We tried to work on the pace of our reading, Mrs McClare even set timers for some parts! Our reasons to read allowed us to think about our impression of Africa but we had to use the text to support our answer. We then read the next part of the text, this time with our partners. We text marked our new vocabulary as we read. Our reasons to read on this section showed we had understood what we had read 🙂 Our exit ticket allowed us to give our opinion on South Africa, using the text to support our thoughts.
Arithmetic in MI :)
We continue to work on gaps from our arithmetic tests 🙂 What a fantastic lesson we had today!
Underarm throw and over arm ❤️🎾
In PE today, we have perfected our technique when throwing under arm and over arm. Miss Marsh set us a challenge to see if we could throw our bean bag at the target with different obstacles in the way – this meant we had to pick which throw would be more suitable.
Lost and Found 🐧👦experience lesson
Pointillism First Draft

Once finished we will critique our first draft ready for our next draft. Great work everyone!
Comparing and ordering angles in MI
Today we recapped angles from our lesson on Friday. We used our arms to make the 3 different types of angles we had learnt. We explained how we know if an angle is acute, obtuse or a right angle. We then applied our learning to some different questions, using our partners for support. From here we started to compare angles using the symbols < > = We named the angle first then used the correct symbol to compare. We then applied our learning to lollipop sticks and practised making and comparing angles with these. Next we looked at comparing 3 or more angles and then ordered them from smallest to the biggest. We applied our knowledge to a variety of questions then practised a little more with our lollipop sticks.
Caring Crew in MI
Today we explored emotions and thought about times we have experienced different types of emotions. We then looked at some short letter scenarios where we tried to help the person involved solve the problem. We identified the emotions involved then thought if we had ever felt the emotion ourselves. We had some great discussions this morning 🙂
