Working hard!

What a lovely morning we had in 1B yesterday. In our learning labs, we had freckle maths assessments, painting and sorting carnivores, herbivores and omnivores and writing about what plants need to survive. Dolly, Regan and Corben worked so hard that they got to show Mrs Ogle. Sergei told the whole school what plants need to survive and went for green in his writing to explain the impact if they didn’t get those things. Let’s keep up the good work next week crew! 💪

Plants

Today, we worked in mini crews to label parts of the plant and describe their function. Every single group got it right! 👍 After that, the children labelled plants and wrote sentences about their function in their own books. Some Superstars even wrote about how trees are plants even though they don’t have flowers! The trees stem is called a trunk! It’s been a bloomin’ great day in 1B!

Glitter handshake!

Today, we used glitter to represent germs. We dipped our hands in the glitter and then shook hands and watched the coloured glitter germs spread all around. We realised how important it is to have good hygiene and wash our hands thoroughly!

Reading and Homework in Year 1 and 2

This week the percentage of children who have recorded their reading at home is quite low.

Week 3This Week
Crew Bubb20%
Crew Carter54%
Crew Meade53%
Crew Jobber40%
Crew Lewis12%
Crew Pickering12%

To ensure the children continue to work hard and get smart, we have started a little competition between the crews.

Each FRIDAY the children will bring home a homework sheet. This will have a space to record their reading on and some maths and spelling homework.

The children will have until the following THURSDAY to complete the homework and return to their crew leader.

This will replace the reading logs.

The children that complete their home learning, will earn points towards a treat at the end of the term. But they can only earn points if they return their homework! Children will be able to complete this at school as well if needed, during a lunchtime club.

We understand that it is a whole family effort, so we will also be running a raffle for a parent prize. Each time a homework sheet is returned we will enter into a small prize draw.

We Care Wednesday

As part of this week’s Caring Crew, the children have been exploring the theme of kindness.

The children thought about their feeling and how actions can help to impact the feelings of others. The crews were challenged to choose a random act of kindness to do either as a crew or as individual pledges. 

We hope you spot some of the children carrying out their pledges.
