Lockdown Drill

We had a special assembly on Wednesday to learn what to do if we have to evacuate the building.
We also learnt what to do if we need to stay in the building to stay safe. This is called a Lockdown.
Here is Mrs Driver showing us how we have to lie flat on our tummies with our heads down.

Later on in the day we had a Lockdown Drill

Here we are before the drill going about our work.

 And this is us after the alarm went off lying flat on our tummies like statues.

Team 8 were very good at lying still for a long time.

Writing Number Sentences

Wednesday 10th April

WALT: Write number sentences. 

Some children in the class have been working on writing a number sentence. A number sentence needs to have numbers and something to join it together.  It might have a + sign or a - sign and is usually has a = sign. 
Here we are having a go to write our own number sentences.

Tom and Jarrett

I spotted Tom and Jarrett during reading on Tuesday making some great choices. 

They were working super hard on the sequencing pictures. 

Here they are with their successful end product. 

Well done boys!

Healthy Teeth

Today we learned how to brush our teeth properly. We were pretty stoked with our new toothbrushes but thought that the toothpaste was a little bit 'spicy'.

Ask us at home about the important things to remember about brushing our teeth! Here they are...

• Brush twice a day
• Bush for 2 minutes
• Use little circles
• Make sure you get the spaces between your teeth as well.

This is a video of us trying to tell you with toothbrushes in our mouths!-  Can you understand what we are saying?

Here is a you-tube song that you could play when brushing your teeth.

And finally... Here we are doing the right thing!

Enjoy your new toothbrushes Team 8!

Collaborative Writing

Today we ditched our writing books and decided to do our writing in teams. This was a first for many of us, and we did lots of learning around sharing, taking turns, staying focused and being brave.

First we were given a 'sea creature' to brainstorm. We had to write down all the describing words (adjectives) we could think of to describe our creature. Look at us writing all by ourselves!

       

We then shared our thoughts with the rest of the class to see if they could help us add more ideas to our brainstorms.

After that Mrs Turner showed us a little 'game' or 'riddle' called WHO AM I? 

She had written some clues for us and we had to guess what was under the flap. We were pretty clever at guessing hers, so she told us to write our own clues. Can you see us all taking part?

  

We did such an A.M.A.Z.I.N.G job with this writing that we then had some VERY special visitors come and test out our 'riddles'. Look at Mrs Driver AND Mrs Steel trying to solve the riddles that we wrote. Do you think they look impressed?

Annnnnd... Do you know the coolest thing? Later in the day (while Mrs Turner was taking groups for Reading), Ryan and Anoji felt inspired enough to write their very own Who am I description. WAY TO GO GUYS - you were putting your new skills into practice straight away!

Team 8, you are such super stars, and once again I am super proud of you! We will definitely be trying collaborative writing again soon.

Here are our Riddles... 

Can you guess what we are?????
