Today we were scientists in our expeditionary learning and looked at animals and their offspring. We talked about how mammals give birth to live babies and how most reptiles and bird lay eggs. We matched animals and the hound as well as animals which go through a metamorphic changes so they don’t look like their mothers when they are born, such as butterflies and frogs.
Today in Crew we worked in pairs to mirror our partners. We had to pay close attention to all their body movements and some of us found it very tricky!
Today in our expedition we were scientist and looked at animals and their offspring. We talked about how mammals give birth to live babies and how reptiles and bird lay eggs. We matched animals who go through a metamorphic changes so they don’t look like their mothers when they are born. We then discussed and wrote about the changes for example lava to caterpillar to butterfly.
Today we have learnt about mummies and babies and how the scientific word for this is “offspring”. We matched the mums to their offspring and learnt what each of their babies were called.
Our mosaic art pieces are really coming together 🙂
In our book talk lessons this week, we have focussed on developing our inference skill. We first read the text and text marked anything we didn’t understand and things we found important. We made a class glossary of the words we had picked from the text. Then, we looked at answering some inference based questions whilst skimming and scanning the text.
These two put a big smile on my face this morning! Spending their time at home getting ready for our arithmetic paper today, absolute superstars wanting to do well! We love to see it!
This morning, we have completed our planning in preparation for writing the rest of the week. This allowed us to collect some good vocabulary, fronted adverbial and ideas so we have a good starting point for writing tomorrow.
This morning on Scotties, we’ve been outside working on our team building. We had engineers and medics who had additional responsibilities to ensure the survival of their team. Some great team work from the Crew.
Yesterday morning, we had a crew Challenge where we partnered up. One partner had to give the instructions while the other drew based on the instructions.
When we debriefed, the crew said they found things challenging because of not being able to hear, instructions not being clear or not knowing what they meant. Despite the final images, the crew really enjoyed this activity as you’ll be able to tell from their faces in the pictures.
