Crew Pearson had some reading for pleasure time. I had brought a range of children books from home or they had access to our class library too. It was lovely to see them sat so engaged and silent (without being asked) to read a book they chose.
Crew Pearson ent to our local charity shop this morning as part of our crew session. We delivered some donations and we also offered to help with a bit of tidying up, hanging up some clothes up and sorting some book shelves. Well done guys so proud of how you helped and got stuck in while we were there.
So far we have looked at what geography is, how the earth is structured and how the earth crust is divided and what it’s made up of. To do so we have made an all about geography poster, made a model of the earth’s layers and recreated the earth’s crust diagram. All of which have been fabulous and of lovely quality! Well done Geographers!!
We have been learning about the digestive system as this is what our section of the product is about, so it was important we got a lot of information and more importantly that we understood the information we had.
The children worked in groups, they had 3 activities to carry out all which increased their overall knowledge of the digestive system. Again I was so proud of their efforts and how hard they worked to understand our human biology.
Wonderful work from my beautiful class during our reading lessons this week. Here they are practicing their fluency in the form of performance poetry. They all worked really hard to use all areas of their reading fluency to support a mini performance reading. I was so proud of their efforts and courage in groups volunteering to share their work with the whole class.
The children had a bit of active learning for their conjunction work this week, going around the room looking at words and trying to work out how to sort them. Working out, that they were coordinating (FANBOYS) and subordinating (I SAW A WABUB) conjunctions. They then used this knowledge and our class discussions to come up with some really lovely stand alone sentences within their SPAG lesson.
I just can’t stop beaming with pride with this lovely lot lately. Here they are working so hard on some amazing instruction writing. They even asked me on Friday morning if they were writing today, I just love the excitement and engagement from them. Well done guys.
In class 12 we have really been looking at improving our reading fluency and learning the different elements that fall under this category: reading rate, reading accuracy, reading with expression and reading to punctuation. Ask your child about these at home and how they can model these to you when reading!
We had a really lovely reading lesson today start our new class text – The Wild Robot – I’m looking forward to reading more if this wonderful book with the children and listening to their ideas and discussions!
Today, my lovely lot carried out an investigation into the conductivity of materials. Understanding that if a material allowed the current to continue through it then it was a conductor, if not and the current was stopped then it was an insulator. I really enjoy seeing the excitement around the room and some children going one step further and taking their circuits around the room to test other objects too!
Just want to let you all know how proud I am of you all!! You all give swimming 100% and more for a full hour which is amazing. You are all doing brilliantly and it makes me so proud to see you all achieve outside the classroom. Keep going guys.
