Amazing first day back!!

Class 11 never fail to amaze me and today is no different.  They have work so hard and we’ll in collaborative pairs and groups today to complete their work.  I am particularly impressed with their engagement and determination in English today.  They were introduces to the full stories of our experts and worked together in a reading comprehension and a planning sheet ready to start their biography writing tomorrow. Well done guys I’m so impressed and looking forward to reading your drafts tomorrow.

Crew Pearson’s Reading River.

In crew Pearson we all had a long hard think about all the reading we actually do on a daily basis and that not all reading is in books.  It is infact everywhere!

The children all had a good think about all the reading they do, lots said a wide variety of books but lots of other reading came out too! Check out our river and how cute the children have illustrated their little pictures to match their reading ideas! Well done guys!

 

Collaborative learning and reading

Today, the children worked hard in pairs to find answers to questions by retrieving information from text placed around the room.  The children were in total control of their own learning as not only were they practicing their reading skills they were also learning and teaching each other about the life of Anne Frank! I was so impressed with all this amazing learning this afternoon that they even then were able to list important events of her life in the correct order, all without my help.

Amazing guys, truly brilliant job! So proud.

Art lesson – mono printing!!

The children had a brilliant art lesson today and I loved teaching this to them so much as they showed so much enthusiasm and worked so hard! Here they are in action.

Ask the children at home how they made the prints, what process did they follow?

Out in the quad practising angles in turns

Today the children were learning about angles in turns. Starting with left turn, right turn and moving on to 90° clockwise turn, half a turn anticlockwise etc. Ask your children at home to try some directions out on you!
