Sequencing Time

In Class 5 we have been reading Man on the Moon, which is a story about Bob, a man who travels to work on the moon everyday. It tells us what he does and the times he does different tasks. We have worked collaboratively to sequence and compare the times and lengths of time it takes to complete his different activities. Some of us even challenged ourselves to work out the time Bob will have finished his jobs!

Awesome work Class 5,

Picture Puzzle Protocol

I was super impressed with everyone in class 5 this morning. We completed a picture puzzle protocol where we had to collaborate and use our communication skills to talk about all of the different pieces of the puzzle in turn and see if we could work out what the mystery image was.

We discovered it was the front cover of our new text – Man on the Moon.

We are looking forward to finding out what it is all about and seeing if our predictions are correct!

Awesome job class 5 xxx

Yoga … with an astronaut!

It’s Tranquil Tuesday today and we spent our time in crew doing some yoga. We used a Cosmic Yoga video with Jaime on Earth and Samantha Cristoforetti on the International Space Station! It was a relaxing way to start the day and get us all in the green zone!

Crew Parsons’ wanted the link to do it again at home, so here it is!

Vocabulary Magpies ✏️

We are getting ourself back into our latest case study by thinking about what aliens could look like. We started off with lots of alien images and we had to find partners in our classroom to describe the alien to – we discovered we were needing to use lots of adjectives!

After that we designed our own aliens using our favourite features from the ones we had been describing. Next, we did a gallery walk where we added lots of vocabulary around the aliens to help our friends with their writing description later.

Crew and writing rolled into one! What a great start to our new half term.

Well done class 5, Mrs Parsons xx

Mindful Monday in Crew Parsons

We started our crew circle with a funny check in this morning – how are you feeling?

Then we took our crew circle outside for a walk in the sunshine whilst we shared our news from over half term. When we circled back up we shared something we had found out from someone else in our crew – we even had a squirrel want to join our crew!!

What a lovely way to start the week!

WonderDome

What a way to start our new case study! Exploring space in the WonderDome. We can’t wait to use what we have found out to help us answer our guiding question – where could your journey take you?

Reading to research

This week we are writing a non-chronological report all about King Charles III. We have been working in pairs to read some existing information to create anchor charts of key facts.

I was really proud of the way you all supported each other to make sure that everyone was able to read and understand the text.

Keep it up,

Mrs Parsons xx
