First we worked together to put the puzzle together to reveal the front cover of our new book.
We then wrote predictions about what we thought the book was about and what would happen.
Today we started our new writing unit where we built lots of language to support our first plot point. We used the lenses well to build ideas 🙂
We started our day with a morning task around formal and informal language and the children worked hard to unpick the questions, discussing their answers with a partner then voicing their thoughts. We built on this in our main grammar session where we thought more about Standard and Non Standard English.
In our arithmetic session we looked at misconceptions from our previous arithmetic paper then applied our knowledge to a variety of questions.
In our maths lesson we looked at coordinates across 4 quadrants. We took part in a range of activities plotting coordinates, finding coordinates and making shapes. We then applied our knowledge to some reasoning and problem solving questions which really challenged our thinking.
Something exciting is happening in our butterfly house Crew Welburn! Watch the video closely and you will see one of our butterflies emerging from its chrysalis! We now have three butterflies flying around their home and two more waiting to emerge 🦋
Over the weekend it was time to release our butterflies! Once the net was unzipped, they did not waste any time in coming out and exploring the great outdoors. They took a fancy to the flowerbed close to where they were released and spent time familiarising themselves with the colourful flowers and grass. One butterfly decided to land on Miss McGlone’s finger and it was very happy to sit there taking in the sunshine ☀️
Now the butterflies are out in the wild, the whole life cycle process will continue and eventually begin again! 🐛🦋
Yet another butterfly update! At last, all 5 butterflies have emerged from their cocoons and are now getting used to their new, beautiful wings. They have been enjoying the sugar water and this is giving them lots of energy to test out their new wings and also get used to their new bodies. I can tell that they are almost ready to get outside so I will be releasing them from their net into the garden tomorrow! 🦋🥰
