The Very Hungry Caterpillar

This term, the children will be learning about Growth and Change. Starting out with the classic story, The Very Hungry Caterpillar! Together, we made our hungry caterpillars; they enjoyed making them move and pretending they are eating, getting longer and longer. This has got them hooked into our new subject of the summer term. We have some exciting, hands-on learning ahead!

Crew Ramsay Are Hooked On Expedition!

Hook week has been a blast in Crew Ramsay! We made predictions about our new expedition throughout the week before the big reveal on Friday. We went on a woodland animal hunt, had a peaceful protest to protect endangered local wildlife, engaged with our key text ‘The Hungry Hedgehog’ and watched documentaries about extinct animals. What a fun week we have had!

P.E

In P.E they were learning skills on how to play cricket.They had to remember that they could not throw the ball under arm and that they had to throw it over arm.

Year 6 Easter Revision

Over the Easter holidays, Year 6 were challenged to complete 10 sessions of home learning in an area of learning that had been chosen for them. For some children, they were battling with fractions, decimals and percentages. For others, it was modal verbs that were on the Easter menu.

We were amazed at the hard work and effort shown by Year 6 over the holidays with the vast majority of children bringing back their completed learning and their record logs. To celebrate, and reward them for their work, this afternoon we enjoyed some fresh fruit and a cup of popcorn along with a movie session. Well done Year 6!

Tomato Mummies!

This week, during Hook Week in Crew White, we have stepped back in time to learn about the ancient Egyptian ritual of mummification. Of course, we were unable to get our hands on recently deceased pharaohs so we had to make do with all the tomatoes available at the local supermarket.

We learnt about the embalming process and preparing the ‘body’ for the afterlife. We cut off the top of the tomato, scooped out its insides and covered it with salt. We will observe the tomatoes over the next few weeks and see what happens.

Endangered and extinct

Crew Farrow have been learning about endangered and extinct animals in expedition. Their challenge was to sort different animals into endangered and non endangered categories. Can you name one endangered animal? 🐼🦁🦔
