Due to use having no community meeting this week, we took the opportunity to have a mindfulness crew session instead. This was such a lovely activity where we listened to instrumental music and used our pencil/pen to outline a splatter of paint. You could have heard a pin drop in our classroom yesterday morning. Definitely something we’ll be doing again.
In Crew challenge this week, we had to work together as a small crew to keep the balloon from touching the floor. We realised very quickly that we needed to use small taps and try to hit it straight up. Some great team work.
In grammar this week, we have been learning about regular verbs and how they change based on whether they are in the past, present or future tense. E.g. The dog barked = past tense, The dog barks = present tense, The dog will bark = future tense.
Children worked in pairs to decide whether a sentence was the last, present or future tense.
