Our mission today has been to recognise the characteristics of a great learner. We talked about what great learning would look like and sound like. We discussed what it might feel like if we walked into a classroom where great learning was happening. We wrote our ideas on post it’s and worked together to agree which we’re the most important. Once we knew what we were looking for we set

We have learnt about how bread is made on a industrial scale and then used our knowledge to help us write an explanation

The volunteers at Elsecar were working very hard painting and repairing the old trains. We saw the driver shovelling the coal into the fire box, it looked really hard and dirty work.

  WALT: Use adjectives to add detail to our writing.

Today we have been using our senses to explore materials. We discussed what we had found out and used our explanation skills in discussion.
