Today we explored a given text then used our comprehension skills to answer a range of questions. We used APE well for one of our questions, using evidence from the text to back up our answer.
Written comprehension in MI
Area in MI
A fantastic maths lesson in MI today 🙂 First we consolidated our learning from last week on perimeter and then we learnt how we find the area of a 2D shape by either counting squares or by using a given formula. We even looked at how we find a missing side when we already know the area. Well done everyone 🙂
MI think about safety in school
Today we discussed that tomorrow is safer internet day so we spent our crew session today thinking about safety in school, the playground and then in the community. We discussed our ideas in mini crews and then as a whole crew. We added some of our ideas to an anchor chart that we have displayed in our classroom.
Expedition
In Expeditions we were looking at the difference between England and Svalbard
What a fruity surprise 🍌🍍🥭🥑🍊
Sentence Types
On Friday afternoon, we were learning about different sentence types such as simple, compound and complex. This allowed us to build of our learning of coordinating and subordinating conjunctions.
Book Talk – Non Fiction
On Friday, we started a new text which was a non fiction. This will help us build background knowledge for our expedition.
We made some predictions about what the text would be about and had some discussion questions to get us thinking about what we’d be reading.
Once we had an understanding of the type of text we’d be reading, we did some guided text marking.
Storytelling Week
Crew Shields have continued to enjoy storytelling week by having biscuits while listening to an audio book. We also had a change of scenery for our class read and went to the library.
Storytelling Week 📖📚
Crew Hamill have had lots of fun during storytelling week. We have fully immersed ourselves in our class text and we are loving finding out what is happening between April and Bear (the polar bear). We have enjoyed a trip to the library and have had discussions about our favourite books and characters. Today, we ended storytelling week in our pjs and listened to an audiobook whilst having a sneaky biscuit treat! ☺️
Parts of a Computer 💻🖥️⌨️
Yesterday, Crew Hamill were learning about the different components of a computer. We were able to recognise and name the parts of a computer, using subject specific vocabulary: buttons, desktop, laptop, mouse, keyboard, computer and monitor. Following this, we used some computer software called Sketchpad to design a laptop, ensuring we created each of its individual parts – the screen, the keyboard and the mouse.
