Mr Longley’s Reading Group

6th January 2023Stuart Longley

The children in Mr longley’s reading group this week started reading a new text linked to the expedition, Ready, Steady, Grow: How can I be the healthiest version of me?

The text is called The Great Food Bank Heist by the amazing author Onjali Q. Rauf.

Chapter 1 is below if you would like to read the first chapter.

Some questions you might want to ask:

  • What does the word heist mean?
  • Who are the main characters?
  • How do we know how old the characters are?
  • Where might the story be set and how do we know?
  • What is mum’s job? Does it pay well?
  • What problem do the characters have in the story? How does it make them feel?
  • Why does Nelson want to save food for his mum?

Back to learning!

It has been great to see all of the children back in school after the break and so keen to get on with their new learning.

We began with a collaborative Crew task to get the children back into the routines of working together. We created a bizarre robot by designing different sections of it in each group and putting it together at the end. A very unique design!

We have then used stop motion animation to hook ourselves into our new learning. We created a simple scene and then shot the movies ourselves. Have a look at one of our examples:
