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.
Thursday 7th September 2023 – Stay and engage in FS1
What a fantastic day!
Crew Dorman had a wonderful time making Gruffalo crumble, bird feeders, exploring the wood at school and taking part in a nature treasure hunt! Thank you to everyone who made it a day to remember!
Crew Hamill have worked REALLY hard to master our maths this week. Today, we were learning how to partition numbers to 100. We started with numbers in their expanded form, partitioning them into tens and ones and then we stretched ourselves to think of different ways of partitioning. Did you know 35 can be split into 30 + 5, 20 + 15 and 10 + 25? We used base 10 to support our learning, giving a visual representation of what our numbers look like partitioned.
In Year 1 this week, we began our musical journey by looking at our first unit of work – The Menu Song. We warmed our bodies up by using big gestures and actions to act out baking a cake! We then listened to the song we are going to be learning during this unit. It is a cumulative song which refers back to past lines throughout resulting in verses that get longer each time. This particular song also helps us to remember the days of the week, as well as practise our sequencing skills. We began to learn the lyrics and we will continue to build up our confidence as the weeks go on.
In Year 2, we started work on our first unit – Tony Chestnut. We began by using call-and-response style 4-beat action games. This really got us thinking and we had to concentrate to make sure we were listening to and then repeating back the correct pattern. Tony Chestnut is an action song and we looked at the words to add actions to. We practised the actions in the correct order whilst trying to keep in time to the beat. We then challenged ourselves by trying to add the vocals in whilst doing the actions! It was a little tricky but with further practise over the coming weeks we will soon be ready to showcase what we have achieved!
Today, we were learning the basic beliefs of three main religions: Christianity, Hinduism and Islam. We researched the main beliefs of each religion and then had our memories tested by having to match the key beliefs to the correct religion. Once we’d matched them, we used them to create an informative poster. We did really well gathering facts on our whiteboards to help us with this.
