In Crew Ramsay, we have been exploring books and our reading corner this week! The children have been trying to earn their rainbow challenge stick through sharing stories and choosing books by looking at the blurb and front cover. Here we are reading for pleasure with our friends!
As part of our writing unit, the children have been exploring the story The Lion and the Unicorn. We have been developing their narrative writing skills by creating our own sentences.
This week, we have been focusing on fronted adverbials. The children have been learning how to use these at the beginning of sentences to explain when or where an action takes place. They have enjoyed experimenting with different fronted adverbials and using them to add detail and variety to their writing.
We are looking forward to seeing the children apply these grammar skills as they continue developing their own narratives!
Y5 girls won the weekly award in PE last week so super teamwork 😃
Crew FI are getting much quicker at scanning the text and using their highlighters to locate key information!
Crew FI got into 2 groups and each had a go at filling in the times table wheel. The first group to fill in the wheel were the winners!
We have been spending as much time outside as possible while the weather is still nice!
There have been so many beautiful moments of crew: sharing, working as a team, positive communication, and words of encouragement and support. We have been collecting leaves, creating assault courses, helping each other to tidy… we even found a twig that looked like a spider so sang ‘Incy Wincy Spider’!
We have been looking at the story ‘The Gruffalo’ in our writing sessions this week. We have talked about the features he has and how we can show them using different shapes and colours. We then used a step-by-step guide to help us. Once we were finished, we then told Miss McGlone everything we had included in our drawings to create The Gruffalo.
We had the best time building a boat and going fishing with Miss Evans!
