We have continued our exploration of the text ‘The Great Food Bank Heist’ where we have debugged words that we weren’t sure of the meaning of. We have then practised our retrieval and inference skills to further improve our understanding of the story.
As part of our hook week Mrs Shaw brought baby George to visit us. We found out lots of things about babies and what they can and can’t do. We measured him and he was 26 blocks which was 1 more than our baby doll. We wonder if he will have grown when he comes to visit us next time!
Last week, 6T produced some fantastic work during their hook week. We studied physics, in particular the study of light and how it travels. The children discovered how light travels in straight lines, writing some fantastic scientific reports, how shadows are formed, how reflection works and how the eye sees. They have made a fantastic start to their work in their new books! Well done and keep it up, 6T! #LovePlover
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?
As part of our expedition we have measured ourselves today to see how tall we are. We will measure ourselves at the end of the expedition to see if we have grown.
The school nurse was also in school today and she measured the heights and weights of the children. This fitted really well into our learning.
