Challenge crew in MI

27th February 2024Stacey McClare

Today we took part in the picture challenge! First we looked at an image together and discussed the instructions we would give to someone who can’t see the picture! We thought about where we would start, what we would say and how we would communicate this. We then had a try with a different image. One partner gave the instructions to the other partner thinking about how they were communicating and what they were saying. We talked about patience for this challenge and encouraging our partner aswell. We then did a gallery walk where we looked at other peoples drawings, giving praises, notices and wonders. We then sat with our partner and gave some further critique. Our debrief allowed us to think about tips for our partner for next week.

This week, in RE we learnt what happens in a Mandir which is a Hindu place of worship. We watched several video clips and learnt about their different Gods and Goddesses. Did you know that Hindus worship in a Mandir but also have a shrine at home?

What impact is climate change having on the environment 🌎❄️

26th February 2024Kate Thompson

In expedition this afternoon, we looked at what climate change is and how it is effecting the environment and animal habitats. We discovered that climate is the weather patterns in a region for over 30 years. We then looked at how the climate has changed in Svalbard. We used our learning from the previous lesson and found out that the sea temperature and air temperature in Svalbard has increased and this is melting the ice therefore impacting polar bear habitats.

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.
