Unpicking poetry in MI

21st February 2023Stacey McClare

Great resilience today when exploring a poetry text. We explored the text, unpicked the vocabulary and thought about the hidden meanings and what the authors messages were within the text. Some great discussions and ideas raised 🙂

Today we were visited by Nicola and Natalie from Ladies in Pigs who taught us all about where our food comes from and even cooked some tasty frying pan pizzas. The children even helped. What a great hook into our DT cade study!

Ladies in pigs school visit!🐷

20th February 2023Lauren Marsh

Today we had a brilliant visit from the Ladies in pigs, they spoke to us about farming and how we can cook using ingredients used in the UK. Next time we go shopping we are going to look out for the red tractor badge on food. We enjoyed making a pizza in a pan. We all took it in turns to help chopping, rolling and measuring.

Children have been sent home with a cook book that can be used to make more recipes!

Today we consolidated our learning on semi colons. We are getting much more confident when using a semi colon in our writing. We will apply our learning to our next piece of writing later in the week.

Using a scale factor in maths in MI

Caring crew in MI

20th February 2023Stacey McClare

Today we recognised how we are feeling and how we regulate our thoughts and behaviour. We talked about what makes us happy and sad then compared this to being angry and calm. During our crew activity, we played a game where we voiced an emotion and talked about a time when we have felt the emotion. This was a great opportunity to share different feelings and emotions with our mini crew. Our debrief included discussions on positive thoughts and having a positive attitude. We discussed that its ok to not be ok but we discussed how we help ourselves to achieve the best versions of us.
