Exploring our new text in reading

1st November 2022Stacey McClare

MI started to explore the front cover and blurb of our new text. We explored the layout thinking about what the text may be about. We then worked collaboratively in a vocabulary challenge where we matched words from the front cover to definitions. We then linked this back to our guiding question and expedition. We then made predictions based on the front cover thinking about what we may read about, the different sections in the book and linking our ideas to books with similar themes.

Name recognition in Crew Nursery.

1st November 2022Toni Ferguson

The children have been working super hard today in Crew Nursery. They have practiced finding their first name from a selection and then had a go at writing their initial sound using shaving foam. They have loved the experience. We found that it was easier to write using our finger and the shaving foam felt lovely on our hands. Well done everyone. You have really tried hard to get smart today.

Halloween Fun! 🎃

31st October 2022A Welburn

This afternoon we discovered a pumpkin in our tuff tray! We asked Miss Welburn to cut a hole in the top so that we could explore what was on the inside…we found lots of slimy, gloopy, gooey pulp to squish between our hands! We also discovered lots of pumpkin seeds inside which we saved to see if new pumpkins will grow from when we plant them outside!

Perfecting our porridge!

31st October 2022A Welburn

This week in Crew Welburn, we are focussing on the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. We read in the story that the bears were making porridge for their breakfast, and wondered what this tasted like. We got to work straight away making Mummy Bear’s sweet porridge, Daddy Bear’s plain porridge, and Baby Bear’s porridge that was just right. We had a vote at the end and we decided that most of us preferred Mummy Bear’s sweet porridge! 🥣🐻
