Today MI read and shared a story with the children in foundation. They discussed the front cover and blurb with the children before reading the story. At the end they asked the children a few questions… Which part was your favourite? Which character did you like? Did you enjoy the story? Why? Crew MI loved sharing stories with the younger children and tried hard to use some expression whilst they read. A lovely time together in the library.
Today we played in the park to ask all of the birds – where is penguin from? We still did not find out the answer and will have to keep searching.
We have now completed our pointillism artwork and I think they look fantastic, great work Crew Robson!
This morning, we have had our experience lesson for our independent write. We sequenced the pictures of the video and then chotted some ideas and vocabulary we might use. We then completed our planning sheet with lots of year 3 features such as fronted adverbials, conjunctions and ambitious vocabulary.

Today in Citizenship crew we continued looking at our rights and the rights of others. We discovered that showing respect for others is really important, to ensure everyone feels safe and cared for. We looked at different scenarios and sorted them into two groups, those that showed respect and those that didn’t. We had some really interesting discussions and Oliver again blew us away with his knowledge and understating of social norms.
Today in Crew Haddock we did another experiment but this time with ice. They had to get 3 cups and fill them with the same amount of water and put them in the freezer. Once they are frozen we then put 1 on the table, 1 on the radiator and then we left the last one in the freezer. We then checked each cup every 30 minutes to see which one was melting first. We found that the one on the radiator melted first and the one in the freezer didn’t melt at all.
Today, we explored 3D shapes. We sorted them based on their properties and learnt some new vocabulary. We counted the faces, edges and vertices and then matched them to their name at the end of the lesson.
This afternoon in RE, we discussed the reasons why people pray. It was great to hear the children come up with so many reasons and discuss who the people are that they go to in times of worry or when they need assistance. We also had mixed opinions as to whether they though prayer helped. We’ll look forward to exploring some examples of prayers in the next lesson.
This week in computing, we carried on with out learning about search engines. We used a search engine to find information about explorers. We then worked together to research answers to questions. Quickly, we figured out that the website we were using was full of inaccurate information and fake news when we compared it to another website. We learnt that we have to be careful when searching on the internet.
