In Crew Shields this afternoon, we have been sketching images based around global warming which will be used towards our final product.
Preparation for our final product
PE in MI
Book talk in MI
Our entry ticket today allowed us to think about differences between two maps and we also gave our own personal opinions about the map we preferred. We explored each map together, thinking about what we can see. We thought about why the author may have chosen to show the maps in a different way and we voiced reasons for this. We used our inference skills to try and work out which part of Africa we would be looking at and thought about what we noticed about certain places. From here we read the text using a partner read, an independent read then we used a chorus read. As we read we explored specific vocabulary, unpicked phrases and discussed what we had read. We then looked at our reasons to read which showed us we had taken in what we had just read. Our exit ticket pulled all of our learning together. We drew a picture and described East Africa 🙂
Crew in MI
Today we took part in an extended crew due to the children being off school yesterday. Firstly, we took part in our challenge crew which was just the start we needed! It was full of laughs and giggles and really set us up for the day! We then moved onto the caring crew we missed yesterday where we continued to think about emotions. One of the activities allowed us to discuss our feelings on swimming which is something we will start after the Easter holidays. This was a valuable discussion and allowed us all to voice our feelings about it.
Edit and redraft in MI
Today we critiqued a crew members habitat section of their non chronological report. We thought about sentences where target grids had been used then we unpicked and redrafted sentences that needed to be better. We all worked well in mini crews to do this before giving feedback to the whole crew. We then applied what we had learnt to our own work, editing and redrafting our own sentences. We are getting much more confident in this part of the writing sequence.
Perfect Patterns
In our maths lesson today we also explored repeating pattern with 2d shapes. Everyone worked really hard but huge shoutout to Eveah, Charlotte and Teddy who smashed the challenge I set them too. Great work!
Magic Maths 🧮
Today in maths we had some very quick fire questions! Finding numbers, writing numbers and completing our place value activities. Everyone did a great job especially Evie and Lily-Ann, showing great resilience.
Respecting our rights and differences 🌎
Today in citizenship Crew we talked about how dull the world would be if we were all the same! We celebrated our differences and things that made each of us unique. We had some fantastic discussions around the differences we observed in the pictures and concluded no matter where you are from or what you may look like we should treat each other with kindness and respect. Evie made a great point that in doing this we would all keep each other safe.
Sorting 3D shapes 🧊⚽️
A fabulous maths session to start the week. We had a quick recap of 3D shapes and then did a cutting and sticking activity to consolidate our learning!
Celebrating our differences 🌎
Today in citizenship Crew we talked about how boring the world would be if we were all the same and how no matter where you are from or what you look like we should treat each other with kindness and respect. The sorting cards generated some brilliant discussion. Great work crew!
