Today we used our chotting on the Lorax to take part in a shared write. We then wrote our own character description on the Lorax thinking about appearance and personality.

Being kind ♥️
Today in crew we explored what kindness with our hands looked like. We thought about what kind things we can do with our hands to show that we care, for example giving a high five 🖐️ or a wave 👋 or even a hug 🤗 We then worked together in mini crews to sort kind and unkind actions, this led to some great discussions about our views and opinions. This linked perfectly to our stewardship roles in crew and the children were able voice how we take cares of not only each other but our environment too.

Case Study 2 reflection
Today, we completed our case study 2 reflection by adding our knowledge to a padlet. We added lots of important information to the padlet and the children were able to unpick the questions so they could add as much detail as possible. It was great to see how much the children had remembered and how engaged they was completing the reflection.
Funnybones Skeleton Hunt🦴💀🔎
Since half term, Crew Pashley has been writing about the Funnybones story. It is one of our favourite books to read as a crew. 📖Today, to start our second week of writing, we did a skeleton jigsaw hunt to engage us in our learning! 👀We searched all over the classroom then had to join the pieces together- we had to check we had all six pieces and that they were in the right places!
Remembrance Day thoughts in MI
Today we started to think about Remembrance Day and what this is. We watched a video clip to help generate our discussions then started to make our Remembrance Day wreath. We look forward to learning more about Remembrance Day in our crew sessions this week and finishing our wreath for our assembly on Friday.
Hands are not for hitting!🖐🏼
This morning in crew we have looked at what is kind and not kind regarding our hands. We did a fab job of organising them into groups.

To see how well we had retained our science knowledge this case study we participated in a Kahoot quiz – here’s a snap of us celebrating our high scores!
The Write Stuff✍🏻📖
Crew Mcloughlin are throughly enjoying our new writing stimulus, which is The Lorax! Read on to find out what we have been getting up to in writing this week.
We then went on to grammar day 1 where we focused on applying cohesive devices. We were all really successful and had lots of sentences to use in PP1.
Check it our chotting and some of our PP1 writing…
Scotty’s Heroes
This week’s session was enjoyed by all. The children started off playing games to get them warmed up which was evident when all their coats came off despite the cold weather.
They then had to work in pair to give each other instructions while one of them wore a blindfold. Have you ever tried walking in a straight line with your eyes closed? It’s not as easy as you’d think which was why clear communication between partners was vital.
