Meeting Carla.. 🐧🧺

After all the conkers fell on our head yesterday, today we opened our eyes to see that it was Carla (a bird) wrapped up in a washing line!! Carla was hungry, so we had to help her. We had a challenged to try and pinch a sandwich using cocktail sticks from Percy the Park Keeper. We used cocktail sticks to represent our hedgehog spikes. We also practised our rolling skills to see if we could stick the sandwich to our back.

Comparing in geography 🌍

Today we built on yesterdays learning in our geography lesson, we compared three places in the UK – we looked at Beeley (village), Skegness (town) and London (city). We compared the different human and physical features of each.

We found out that if you live in a city or town you have more human features.

Bring Back Book Bags! 📖

This week, Crew Hamill have noticed that they have been a little bit forgetful in bringing their book bags to school. They have worked really hard to improve their reading skills so we are now driving to ensure we remember to bring our book bags to school, with our home reading logged by our adults, every day! We have worked together to create this chart that helps us to see who has remembered their book bag and who has left it at home. We’re hoping to see everyone’s book name on the right chart!

Directions on a compass 🧭

This afternoon we spent time learning about a compass and the different directions. We firstly looked at the cardinal directions: North, East, South and West.

Then we looked at the intermediate directions which are North East, south east, south west and north west.

Once we knew the directions, we played a game where we had to follow the directions and see where we ended up.

Orienteering 🧭

Yesterday afternoon, we braved the cold to go on an adventure. We had to use a series of instructions to guide us around the playground where we found some clues. When we returned to class, we worked together to figure out what they said. When we had finished, we discovered that the clues made up the guiding question.
