Crew FE
Today, we sketched and labelled the different parts of a volcano. The children in our Crew worked really hard to understand the different parts of a volcano and certainly enjoyed watching some videos of volcanoes erupting around the world. The children also asked thoughtful questions to extend their own knowledge. Keep up the great work Crew FE!
The Pebble in My Pocket
Today in Crew Thompson’s reading group, we solved a jigsaw of the front cover of our new book. We found out that the title is The Pebble in My Pocket and the author is Meredith Hooper. Afterwards, we had a fantastic discussion about what the book could be about and had lots of questions after reading the blurb.
Natural Maths
Today, the sun was shining so we decided to do our maths lesson outside…the classroom without a roof!
We were given a number and then had to create the numeral using daisies. Some of us worked independently and others chose to work together. As a team we managed to create all numerals from 1-10!
Speech for our narrative in MI
During our grammar session, we looked at how we use speech accurately and all the features we need to include. After lots of shared ideas and practice, we worked on our own bits of speech for our narrative. This will help us in our writing lesson tomorrow when we start to work on our next plot point.
Final word presentations in MI
Today MI continued to work on their final word presentations reflecting on their howls for the year then thinking about their proudest moments. They used their expedition books from the Autumn and Spring term to support them. They continued to use their checklists to order their presentations.
MI continue their narrative
Today MI returned to their suspense narrative where we added a change in location to our story, adding more detail for the reader.
Did the king find his crown at Big Ben?
In groups we tried to build the biggest tower using blocks to see if we could make Big Ben. Then we listened and counted how many chimes Big Ben did. He did 12 chimes which told us it was 12 O’clock – nearly our lunch time. Unfortunately, the king has still not found his crown!
I cannot wait to read Crew Marsh’s sentences tomorrow.
Dividing by 100 in Crew Thompson
Today we have learnt how to divide by 100. We used the place value grids to help us move 2 places to the right when dividing our number by 100.
