KS1 were very lucky to be visited by three local firefighters today. They showed us all of their equipment and answered lots of questions about their job and how they help people in the community. I wonder if any other heroes will visit us in the future?
In Crew MI, we have been working really hard on our place value knowledge. We used the base ten and counters to create 3 digit numbers. We now understand the value of each of these digits.
Today we used counters to build numbers on our place value grids and to consolidate our learning from Friday. We then applied our knowledge to a variety of fluency questions. A positive attitude by all in todays maths lesson.
We started to discuss our families in crew time this morning. First of all, we played a game of swap where we had to move places with others in the circle if we shared something the same. This included brothers, sisters and pets! We were then given different pictures that were cut up, we had to build the pictures thinking about what we could see and what was the same and different. From here we started to think about our own family, we drew them, described them and added words to describe their characters. We then shared our creations with our partners and then the whole crew. Our debrief involved us thinking about our role as a member of our crew. We discussed our ideas well and related lots of our discussions to our howls. A great start to the day in MI 🙂
Today in our experience lesson we thought about chaotic the streets would have been during The Great Fire of London. We had to dodge the horses and carts and even jump over the poo 💩
We then had a go at up-levelling some basic sentences to include some year 2 features. I can’t wait to see your writing tomorrow Crew Robson 🥰
In crew this morning we talked about what we can do to be kind to our families at home. We drew our idea on a heart and added them to our kindness jar.
We have done some great maths this morning in Crew Marsh.
In our experience lesson this morning we experienced how Vlad felt running through fire. We came up with some amazing sentence.
This morning we drew or wrote something that makes us feel happy and put it into our happiness jar.
For our Writing Experience Lesson we went into the forest area where we shared our new text. This helped with visualising what the rainforest may be like instead of being in the classroom. We explored and unpicked the front cover and blurb, making predictions before we started reading. We looked at the pictures throughout the book and how they related to the story. We used our senses throughout our discussions, this will support us when writing in a few days. When back in the classroom we started some chotting around the 5 senses. Children then added to our classroom display using our chotting and from reading the text. This helped us to visualise what a rainforest may be like.
