Writing Skills.
The children have been working super hard on their writing skills. Now in a morning they write their names, numbers to 10, and now affirmation sentences. They have been amazing at recalling the properties of a sentence such as adding a full stop at the end. Well done crew F2.
Oscar and the Bird
Would you try Zombie cuisine?
After reading our story ‘Zombies don’t eat veggies’, in writing today a few of us in Crew Marsh spoke about what type of foods would be changed to fit the cuisine of a Zombie. We got so engrossed and came up with lots of great ideas including brain pizza, knees on toast and gut bolognaise! We then put all of our ideas on a slide and presented these ideas in our small group. We are working on orally recalling sentences and the children showcased this amazingly today, by linking their ideas to the story and using the characters names. What a gruesome experience!
Mindful colouring in MI
In our crew session we continued with our discussions on mental and physical health. We talked about how mental health allows us to feel good about ourselves and also cope with challenges. It allows us to build strong relationships, enjoy life and be more resilient. We discussed that we care for our physical health by eating well and exercising, and how we need to do the same with our mental well-being in the same way. We then listened to some mindful music whilst completing some mindful colouring.
Sentence day
We have been fully immersed in our first sentence day when writing our introduction, so much so we didn’t want to go for dinner!
Crew in MI
Today in crew we started to explore the significance of being mentally healthy alongside physically healthy. We thought about what it means to be happy, activities that help us to feel good and why we think our feelings are important. We then completed a fitness circuit 🙂 Our debrief allowed to explore what mental health is and reasons why it is important to take care of it. The circuit really did set us up for the day 🙂

Maths in MI
Today our magic maths consolidated our knowledge on factors and we also explored tally charts. The activate for our main maths lesson was a recap on equivalent fractions. This really challenged our thinking and there was a lot of great collaborative working where children we really explaining their thought process and how they got their answers. We then moved onto looking at fractions on a number line which we will continue to explore in our next maths lesson.
RE in MI
Today we started to think about how and why some Buddhists meditate relating our discussions back to all our work on spirituality. We listened to part of a clip where we listened to the music. We closed our eyes and sat very still and quiet. We discussed what we thought about whilst listening. We then found out that the clip was called ‘meditation’. We discussed what we already knew about meditation and then children were introduced to the fact that Buddhists use meditation as part of their spirituality. We then watched a clip on Buddhist meditation where we wrote facts onto our white boards then created an anchor chart as a whole crew. We then listened to a variety of Buddhists speaking about a range of different things. We thought about when and how some Buddhists meditate, why they meditate, what might be hard about meditating and what the benefits may be. We then demonstrated our knowledge through an independent activity.
