This morning it was time to reflect on the presentation in our maths books. We discovered some positives but unfortunately this isn’t consistent across all books. We will be really thinking about presentation after half term to ensure we can see improvement.
Yesterday, the children had the opportunity to undertake some role play to help them understand the different aspects of a Roman soldiers life. This meant that were were able to provide more vocabulary when competing our chotting.
Today we have cleaned our dirty hospital, so the soldiers can get better. Florence Nightingale bossed all of us about in order to make sure everywhere was clean: we swept the floor, mopped the floor, scrubbed the tables, scrubbed the floor and tidied up all of the dirt. We did such a good job it was sparkling clean!
Massive well done to the children that attended the football tournament at Campsmount yesterday afternoon. Despite it pouring rain on us all afternoon, the children gave it 100% effort. Even though we didn’t win, we have discussed the importance of taking part and trying our best.
Yesterday we used all the chotting we created in our experience day on Monday to write our setting description on Thneedville, the town in the Lorax. We also learnt all about similes on Monday so we enjoyed applying our knowledge to our setting descriptions. We also applied everything we have been working on over the last few weeks, descriptive language and expanded noun phrases, conjunctions and some adverbials.
Ates loving the outdoors☔️
Today we thought about the Lorax’s appearance and personality. We worked in mini crews to build ideas together and then shared our ideas with the rest of the crew. We all had a go at writing an idea down and everyone shared one of their own. We will use our chotting after the holidays to create our own character description.
Crew Boswell are really enjoying their weekly guitar lessons 🎸They are learning new cords every week.
This term we have been writing about and reading Little Red Riding Hood. For our experience morning, in Crew Pashley, we made a witches potion ✨ for the Bad Wolf🐺 from Little Red Riding Hood. We discussed other ways to get rid of the wolf, like scaring him. The potion is used to get rid of the wolf when he eats grandma by turning him into a frog. We included lots of different things in our potions, including beads, pasta, rice and pom poms. We practised measuring out the potion into containers using a fake syringe, cups and the spoons.
