A huge well done to Sydney for his extra homework on castles linked to our expedition. I love how you have labelled it and the shading too! Great work!
This week in reading we have been looking at the lyrics to David Bowie’s Space Oddity. The children have been really hooked and engaged in their reading this week and even had time for a sing along! Well done Crew Ambler.
We were very lucky today to have a visit from Sir Martin of Lamb, a knight from medieval times, who came to tell us all about castles and what it was like to live in one! He was very impressed with the children’s knowledge and we all got a chance to attack different types of castle walls to find out which one was strongest. The children had lots of fabulous questions for Sir Martin and loved having him visit.
Thanks so much for coming!
Well done to Myles who has been working hard at home this week by completing a number of different pieces of homework including spellings, times tables and expedition! Well done Myles!
A big well done to Jude who has also been working hard on this week’s spellings. It’s also great to see how much his handwriting is improving! Keep up the great work Jude!
Another really lovely reading session today. Selecting a range of new words from the new sections of our class text. Today’s leaning had a shared responsibility. Each table group had to use dictionaries to find definitions of two words they picked at random. Then they needed to write the definition and the word used in an example sentence ready to share with the full class at the end. We the collated our learning at the end for a shared learning experience, you can see it captured half way through (but I forgot the final picture!!) Smashed it guys, great work all.
Leading their own learning for our Blitz learning. Having several questions around the room and an information sheet they got to work working, each question built up their knowledge gradually for them to be able to recall back to me at the end of the lesson.
Class 12 are really impressing me in our reading lessons. This one was focused on vocabulary. Here the children had to match a definition to the correct word. All words have been selected from our focus text. When the definitions were matched and checked they then set to work using the new vocabulary in their own sentences, allowing me to see if they were able to use the words in the correct context. Great job guys!
In year 2 we have been looking at taking photos in portrait and landscape style, looking at how we change the effect of the photos and what we can do to improve them.
Great work this week everyone!
