The Learning Council members really enjoyed visiting the Year 5/6 classrooms yesterday to watch maths in actions! They captured lots of lovely learning happening which you can check out below!
Also, a big thank you to all those that have taken part in our ‘guess the sweets’ activity! We will be visiting EYFS on Friday to take their guesses and then will reveal the winner next week! The Learning Council can’t wait!
Today we introduced our art case study by looking at perspective and how to create 3D shapes from different perspectives.
We started the lesson by grappling with the skill trying to write our names using 3D letters. We then started to perfect the skill using the accurate technique,
Great job everyone!
I am really enjoying our ALL Block sessions this week! Each group have been so focused and really engaged with the different activities to practise their fluency, retrieval and inference. I have particularly enjoyed the teacher guided group where we had a completed assessment paper which the children had to mark and decide whether each answer was right or wrong. There was lots of good discussions and debate around each of the answers which was great to witness!
In history today, the class had to use their inference and detective skills to be able to order a timeline of trains in chronological order. They also had to match the dates and some information about each of the trains without out any teaching beforehand!
I was extremely impressed without how everyone used their prior knowledge and make links in their learning to be able to order the evolution of trains!
We’ve had a great start to Maths Week with lots of the Y5/6 children guessing how many sweets are in the tub, lots of great, engaging maths lessons, and lots of lovely maths stories shared in crew!
The LC have loved going in to the Y3/4 maths lessons to see maths in action and they are looking forward to going in to Y5/6 maths lessons tomorrow!
Here is a sneak peak of all the wonderful maths that Y3/4 have been up to today!
Thank you to Brendan (and mum!) and his friends who spent time making everyone in Year 6 their own chocolate frog linking to our recent learning on Harry Potter!
They were super thoughtful, delicious and very much appreciated!
Here are some photos of them working hard to make them!
Year 6 enjoyed a lovely wellbeing crew this morning where we looked at different feelings and how we might recognise those feelings on others and in ourselves. We then discussed who we might share our feelings with whether they were good or bad! We made paper chains with the names of all our trusted people who we would feel safe talking to to remind us that there is always someone to listen to us!
During our expedition session today, we had a silent discussions answering lots of different questions about the Industrial Revolution. I was really impressed with how to the children followed the protocols for a silent discussions and I was super impressed with their knowledge and recall when answering the questions!
The celebration of Diwali this year falls on 4th November. In Community Crew today, we looked at the festival of Diwali and the reasons behind why it is celebrated. We really enjoyed learning about the different elements of Diwali and even made our own light lanterns. We ended our Community Crew session by thinking about our hopes for the year ahead and the children had lots of lovely hopes and wishes!
It was so lovely to have my crew back today and listening to all of their wonderful half term stories!
To kick start our day, we started with our crew session where we focused on target setting using our HoWLs rubric. Each group had to put back together a sliced up rubric and I have to say I was really impressed with everyone’s knowledge and understanding!
From there, we have set our weekly targets which I hope that we meet by the end of the week!
Well done Crew Knowles!
