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:
We had a fantastic day at Yorkshire Wildlife Park today. Not only did we get to see lots of animals but we learnt all about polar bears in our classroom activity. Did you know a polar bear actually has black skin and it’s fur isn’t really white?!
Check out all the animals we saw here.
Our visit today at the Yorkshire wildlife was a huge success. The workshop was great and we loved hearing about the polar bears and the impact climate change is having on these amazing animals. I feel the visit was a fantastic hook for our expedition and I am so excited for us to learn more about how we can protect our beautiful planet.
We had a wonderful first lesson in English, immersing ourselves into our anchor text ‘The Last Bear.’
We read this wrapped in our coats with all the windows open to experience the cold and while we read this sat in the dark the children all sipped hot chocolate like the main character April.
In F1 we have a new cosy reading area and the children are loving having a quiet, snuggly space to discover lots of lovely books with their friends and teachers.
This morning we had so much fun when Non-Stop Play came to visit us. Just look at their smiley faces
The children had different roles in their collaborative groups. One child was a reader, one was a listener and there were 2 writers who wrote down facts about the different sea creatures that they were researching. Can’t wait to see what writing you will produce from it today!
