We started our morning with some clues as to who our next champion was going to be – can you guess?
Class 5 took part in a zoom call today with Mayowa Precious Agbabiaka, who is helping children learn more about Black History Month. She has written a book called ‘There’s rice at home’ and read it aloud to the children. She told us that she has written the book in 13 languages. We really enjoyed trying to say hello in all the different languages – I wonder how many different ways you can say hello?
Our year two playtime was filled with bubbles and laughter today – just perfect!
Class Five absolutely loved joining in with the #Take10ToRead challenge. They started by hearing Tom Percival share an extract from his new book (which we have already ordered to add to our classroom collection!) and show the children how to show emotions through their drawing.
We then took ten minutes to enjoy a book – what a treat!
Class Five have yet again blown me away with their compassion and maturity towards their expedition this week.
We gave continued to engage with our core text – Let The Children March. We have thought really carefully about how the children might have felt, what they were thinking, what they could hear and see as they were preparing to march. We are then going to use our anchor chart to create some diary entries – I’m looking forward to blogging these next week already!
During our Thoughtful Thursday crew session we have thought about how we can make a difference, just like the children in our book.
I am so proud of the ideas and plans the children have began to make – our world is going to be a better place because of the differences they are already making. What do you think?
We came across some tricky vocabulary in our core text so we have worked collaboratively to match images and definitions to help us remember and understand.
I have been so impressed with the children in class five this week. They have been communicating and collaborating fantastically whether it has been in crew or in lessons.
What do you think of our poem, adapted and performed by class five.
Following on from our visit from Mayor Ros Jones yesterday we decided to hold our own class elections. The children wrote and shared their own pledges for the year – they made some fantastic pledges which will make our classroom an incredible place to be!
We finished off the speeches with a vote.
Big congratulations to………………….(drum roll please)………. Skyler!!
It was a very close election with Ella and Toby being voted our Deputy Mayors.
I was blown away with the thoughtful and mature pledges you all made also how you all stood up and spoke so confidently and clearly at the podium in front of the whole class – well done everyone!
