To finish off ’Storytelling Week’ we invited Crew Godley to our classroom to share different stories and show them our favourite story books. We really enjoyed having Crew Godley read to us and we think we might make this a regular thing on a Friday!
I have been working with four wonderful Year 2’s who are working extremely hard on their speedy reading and reading for meaning. They blow me away with their enthusiasm and love of reading every time we do it!
Today MI was introduced to a new text in our reading lesson. We used an image to think about what we notice, what the image reminded us of, what we would like to know and then we thought about what may happen in the text. There was some great and interesting conversations which challenged our thought process. We then used a variety of strategies to read the text, thinking about the pace of our reading but ensuring we were fluent. As we read, we thought about some of the vocabulary. We used a range of strategies to unpick some of the more challenging language and applied definitions to our own text. This then helped us with our next activity. We worked in mini crews to build a vocabulary jigsaw where we had to match different words to their definition. A great job by all 🙂
Our do now activity in maths today was exploring a variety of worded problems. This is something that came up in our recent maths assessments so we enjoyed working collaboratively to unpick each question, deciding on the correct operation and the steps needed to solve the problems. We are going to continue to explore these types of problems in our do now activities over the next couple of weeks.
Y1 have had visitors from the schools nurses to explain dental health to them. The children enjoyed finding out all about their teeth and are looking forward to brushing their teeth at home for 2 minutes!
LKS2 would like to invite you to our cake sale on Thursday 9th February straight after school at 3pm. The cake stall will be set up outside Crew Flaherty and cakes will be on sale from 30p. We would really appreciate any donations you can make for our cake sale.
The money we raise from the cake sale will be going to a family who have recently suffered a bereavement and we would like to show our support as a school community by helping them to set up a memorial garden where the children can remember the special times they had with their loved one.
Thank you in advance for your kindness and support

This was the question that Crew Godley were eager to find out. We were exploring food chains and the question popped up that could a polar bear be eaten by a shark? The answer was yes! Greenland sharks 🦈 can survive up to 200 years at depths of up to 600 meters under the artic ice 🧊. They are bigger than a great white and been known to eat polar bears 🐻❄️. We were fascinated by the facts we discovered.
