Writing in MI

29th January 2024Stacey McClare

Today we started our writing lesson sharing our edited and redrafted chunk 1 of plot point 1. We really loved reading this out loud to our peers and finding what we had used from our target grids. We then did some shared writing together where we edited and redrafted one of our crew members work. We really tried to include a range of adverbials along with varied conjunctions. After lunch we started to chot based on plot point 2. We came up with some fantastic ideas which will help us when we start to write this plot point.

Fruit Tasting 🍊🥭🥥

29th January 2024Eleanor Pashley

Today, for our writing experience lesson, we tasted different exotic fruits including a mango and grapefruit. We then came up with different adjective sentences to describe the taste and texture, such as green fuzzy kiwi and pink tangy grapefruit.

Exploring Steven Brown

29th January 2024Nicola Robson

Today we began the art section of case study one by looking at the modern artist Steven Brown.

First we did a gallery walk to immerse ourselves and then shared notices and wonders.

We then had a go at being creative by drawing lines in the style of Steven Brown ready for our family learning on Wednesday where we will paint a hedgehog in this style.

Measure continues in MI

29th January 2024Stacey McClare

Our do now today allowed us to consolidate our learning around length. We used our rulers to measure a series of lines then had a try at drawing some lines too. We then moved onto looking at the perimeter of shapes which we all enjoyed doing. We will continue with this tomorrow 🙂

Storytelling week starts in MI

29th January 2024Stacey McClare

Today in crew we thought about what storytelling is and what it means to us. Mrs McClare shared her experiences as a child and her favourite book. Our crew check in allowed us to share our favourite stories with each other and why we like those particular books. We then went into the library and shared some books together. Some of us even read out loud to the rest of the crew! This was lovely to see. Finally after discussing the stories we had read, we wrote some book recommendations. We really enjoyed doing this and look forward to the next activities in the morning.

Sorting animals: carnivores, omnivores & herbivores

29th January 2024Lauren Marsh

In expedition lessons, we have been looking at the difference between carnivore, ominvore and herbivore’s we looked at what they ate to be able to classify them into the groups and then applied it to our own venn diagram.

Trying to fly…

29th January 2024Lauren Marsh

After everything that the hedgehog has done for Carla, his one dream was being able to fly. We firstly had to use Percy the Park Keepers help to unwrap Carla from her washing line and then we watched her with the other animals (fox, badger, the two mice) flap her wings to fly.

We were so lucky that we got to fly with Carla and she helped us out after all we had done for her.

After a very windy week, Y2 took to the school grounds to clear up all the mess that the wind had blown in. They took great pride in ensuring it was spotless and ready for the week ahead.
