Well done everyone x
Today it was a pleasure to teach English to both my Crew and Crew Faulding. In groups, the children read through a model text of a setting description which was taken from our new Class text. They then identified the features that had been included and spoke about the purpose of each feature.
I was so impressed with all the children’s knowledge as well as their collaborative skills and how kind and helpful they were to each other! I can’t wait to see lots of great writing features in our extended write on Monday!
Here are some more pictures of Year 4 enjoying our day at YWP yesterday. We had such a great time seeing all the animals and learning lots of amazing facts about Polar Bears and how they survive in the wild.
A big well done to you all for your fab behaviour representing the school yesterday.
A HUGE well done to Thia for being Crew Myers’ first ‘Out of this world’ award winner of 2022! Very well deserved and we are so proud of you!
Well done to our HOWL point and postcard winners today
This afternoon we used our PE time to do some crew building. As our expedition is about the rainforest, we used the trim trail as a walkway in the canopy layer and finished at the ‘waterfall’. We had to be a crew that encouraged and worked together to ensure no one fell off and was ‘eaten by piranhas’!!! We managed to complete it in less than 5 minutes! Well done everyone!
This morning in Crew Jackson we explored the features of an adventure story through reading through an annotated example, discussing the story mountain and collaborating on generating an anchor chart through role on the wall.
Well done for a fabulous day. I can’t wait to start writing stories next week!
This morning, Crew Ambler enjoyed reading for pleasure. We brought in books and magazines from home and hooked ourselves into our reading. We even managed to have a few treats too!
What a great week in Crew Mumby- especially in our ALL block sessions. ALL block is a chance for children to immerse themselves in a range of texts, discuss them as part of a group and develop a range of reading strategies for unpicking the meaning. This week I have been blown away by the high levels of child-led collaboration and dedication to use the time effectively. Above all, we have just LOVED reading this week!! On top of this, we have also begun our new class novel ‘My Name is River’ we have enjoyed learning about the main characters Dylan and Floyd and their quest to find Floyd’s brother who is missing in Brazil.
The photos below show our crew working hard in an ALL block session:
