Collaboration in Class 3

25th November 2021Claire Goodyer

In reading crew we have been supporting our friends by praising what they do really well and helping them to develop strategies that will enable them to get even better.

In maths we collaborated to solve problems involving addition and subtraction. We used practical equipment and developed our reasoning and explanation skills with our partners.
This afternoon we had our introduction to our brand new iPads. Our expert visitor taught us how to take photos, view them and delete the ones we didn’t want. We worked in groups supporting each other and critiquing the photographs we shared.

Silly Selfies

24th November 2021Laura Parsons

This afternoon class five had their first afternoon working with our brand new iPads. We learned how to take photos, view them and delete the ones we don’t want. We went on a scavenger hunt around our school and took photographs of the things we were searching for. We also all screen mirrored our iPads to the tv to share our photographs and our silly selfies!

Amazing work class five – I can’t wait for our expert visitor tomorrow to learn even more iPad photography skills.

No Pen Day Wednesday – 2021

24th November 2021Laura Parsons

Today in class five we put down our pencils and got talking. We have had a brilliant day of communication and collaboration. Have a look at what we got up to …

We began the day by trying to solve riddles for our early work – can you solve them?

Next we had our Wise Wednesday crew thinking about our pledges to help with our expedition ‘What Will I do to be a hero in my Community?’

Phonics we played some games and got a little bit competitive!

English was some hot seating. We thought really carefully about the questions we would like to ask the characters in our core text – Matilda. We had great fun, getting in role and pretending we were Miss Honey and Miss Trunchbull to answer the questions.

Maths was solving some tricky addition problems using lots of different practical resources.

Being kind to ourselves and others

We have been working together, being kind and respectful towards each other in our areas of provision.

A recipe for being a good friend

We have talked about the qualities of a good friend. We need to be kind, listen, take turns, share and look after each other if we are to be a good friend. We designed some posters:

We have also been kind to our environment. We have been working hard together to tidy up our garden area, especially now all of the leaves are blowing off of the trees:

Great effort and teamwork boys!

HoWLs:

At the end of the week we had a fabulous poster designed in the mark making area. This poster now sits proudly on display in the classroom to remind us all of the HoWLs in Class 1:
