In RE, we discussed what worshipping was, why people do it and where people do it. We reflected on all of this and explored how it is different in different religions.
RE in Crew MI
Year 5 become Victorian children…
We really enjoyed becoming Victorian children where we experienced what is was like to attend school in Victorian times. We think Mrs Ibbotson and Mrs Boswell liked being the strict teachers quite a bit haha!! We learnt that if children did not attend school, then they had to work in the factories which we also had a go at this afternoon- this was hard work! After all of that, we then played a range of Victorian games the children would have played back then such as hop-scotch, giant snakes and ladders, Blind man’s bluff and pass the slipper.
Art in action 🎨
KS1 have been exploring the artist Steven Brown as part of our expedition. Today we carried out a gallery walk, looking at the work of Steven whilst adding our notices, praises and wonders. We all agreed the colours he used were so eye catching and really made his work stand out. We then collected ideas for our own artwork, looking at animals native to the UK. We had lots of fun practising applying our skills in the style of a Steven Brown.
Beautiful Work
In LKS2, we have been having a huge push on presentation and ensuring we are producing work we’re proud of. Massive well done to Lylah and Bodhan who are setting the bar high in Crew Shields
Geographical Zones
Today we carried on with learning about each of the geographical Zones and recording a piece of information about each one. It was good to see everyone being able to complete the map with the accurate zones.
Written comprehension in MI
Today we used an unseen text to answer a variety of questions. We are getting much more confident in using the text to find our answers.
Writing in MI
Today we started our writing lesson sharing our edited and redrafted chunk 1 of plot point 1. We really loved reading this out loud to our peers and finding what we had used from our target grids. We then did some shared writing together where we edited and redrafted one of our crew members work. We really tried to include a range of adverbials along with varied conjunctions. After lunch we started to chot based on plot point 2. We came up with some fantastic ideas which will help us when we start to write this plot point.
Phonics Practice📚👓
For phonics, we practiced our speed sound sessions and word reading then completed different reading tasks to help further our learning.
Fruit Tasting 🍊🥭🥥
Today, for our writing experience lesson, we tasted different exotic fruits including a mango and grapefruit. We then came up with different adjective sentences to describe the taste and texture, such as green fuzzy kiwi and pink tangy grapefruit.
Exploring Steven Brown
Today we began the art section of case study one by looking at the modern artist Steven Brown.
First we did a gallery walk to immerse ourselves and then shared notices and wonders.
We then had a go at being creative by drawing lines in the style of Steven Brown ready for our family learning on Wednesday where we will paint a hedgehog in this style.
