This week we got some new toys for our outdoor area, we got a new slide and a play house! We really like enjoy them both. Look at us practicing our cleaning skills
New outdoor toys
Valentines♥️
Before the half term we make Valentine’s Day cards for our grown ups, we used our hands to make a flower, we also used toilet roll tubes to make love hearts! We also practiced our hand writing, look how good we’re see getting with writing our names!✍️
Maths in MI
Magic maths allowed us to consolidate our learning on measure where we converted between units before ordering from shortest to longest. The main part of our maths lesson looked at using bar models to find equivalent fractions. We all then moved onto some reasoning and problem solving questions. The problems today proved to be really challenging however children showed great resilience, supporting each other to talk through the problems and showing their working out with a bar model. Great collaborative working MI 🙂
Basketball in MI
Our PE lesson today kickstarted our basketball unit. We looked at the techniques needed when dribbling and we also thought about space awareness. A great lesson MI 🙂
Practicing speaking on the spot!
Today, we had just two minutes to rehearse a line from our speeches before delivering them to the class! It was a fun and exciting challenge, pushing us to think quickly and speak confidently. Even with little time to prepare, everyone did an amazing job sharing our ideas. It was a great way to practice speaking on the spot!
Fact Families
In magic maths, we have been focusing on fact families so we worked as a small group matching the multiplications and divisions.
World Book Day
It was fantastic to see so many children dressed up for World Book Day. We even had a dinosaur loose in the classroom.
In crew, we checked in by telling the crew which character they’d come as.
After break, we read with Crew Robson which was such a lovely time. It was lovely hearing the children read to younger children but also to hear them being confident enough to read to older children. And of course this was even better with a biscuit.
Well done to the effort and creativity that went into the paper plate challenge. Unfortunately we couldn’t give everyone a prize but well done to Lily-Ann and Emily.
Switches
In Science, we investigated what happens when you add a switch to a circuit. Children were given equipment and had to build a circuit before figuring out how to add the switch.
Children discovered that when a switch is on it completes the circuit, therefore allowing electricity to flow through the circuit.
When it is off. It creates a break in the circuit which stops the electricity from flowing through the circuit.
“Trust the process”

Flint and Steel
In our last Scotties session, the children had the opportunity to learn how to use a flint and steel in order to start a fire in the case of needing to survive. The children shower great perseverance in getting the flint and steel to create a spark.
Nerf Lazer Tag
It’s been a fun afternoon for Crew Shields as the children were able to have to use the forest school for Lazer tag. It was great to see the children use different strategies to prevent themselves from getting tagged.
Morning task
Some of us in Y6 got hands on consolidating angles this week. We really enjoyed this quick revision morning task to help our learning stick!
