Today we built shelters after running from the fire in London.
Learning to blend in Crew MW’s phonics
We’ve been working really hard on our learning to blend steps in phonics this week. We’ve been listening to Fred’s Fred talk, blending the sounds into words and then using our magnetic letters to make the words. Once we’ve made them, we’ve used our ‘Fred talk, read the word’ to sound out and read the words back! We’re all going to be super blenders in no time!
Super Scottys!
This morning, we had a fab scottys session outside. We focused on working as a team and building crew relationships! This is definitely something we are going to continue to work on and develop in Crew Thompson! 🛞💪
MTC Practice
A few parents have asked for clarity on the MTC section of the homework.
Children need to use TTRS to practice their timetables and then complete an MTC test which they’ll record the score of.
This is to get the children use to the time limit to answer each question.
Thanks
Miss Shields
Predicting our new text 👀🔎
We explored the front cover and blurb of our new text on Monday. We focused on the genre and purpose of the book and why we would want to read it. We are really excited to learn facts about climate change, deforestation and rainforests to help us in expedition.
Our new text is called Forests by Jess French.
Crew Robson attend Scottie’s Heroes
Crew Robson enjoyed their first Scottie’s Heroes session with Mick today.
They played games and worked together as a team to complete their exercises. Mick was really impressed by Eveah who helped her team and demonstrated great HowLs too.
We are already looking forward to our next session!
Celebrating Roald Dahl
Such a lovely morning celebrating Roald Dahl today. We shared our favourite Roald Dahl book with the rest of the crew giving reasons for our choices. We then watched a video clip on Roald Dahl and shared all the facts we had learnt. Mrs McClare then read some of The Twits, her favourite Roald Dahl story! There were so many laughs and giggles whilst we read the story. After reading a couple of chapters we watched a re-enactment of one scene from the story! Children really were laughing a lot!!! I think the pictures say it all!!
What makes Magic Maths magic?🪄✖️
In our first magic maths session a child posed the question ‘what makes Magic Maths magic?’ The magic is that all the bits we keep forgetting in maths and arithmetic lessons and consolidated in Magic Maths and when we keep drip feeding it in… Abracadabra! We remember!
Based on gaps in our baseline assessment we focused on squared and cubed numbers and ordering decimal numbers. We will keep consolidating this so it stays in our long term memory!
