We’ve been making the most of the beautiful spring sunshine by heading outdoors to develop our scooter skills! The children have been practising their balance, co-ordination and control as they weave, glide and steer with growing confidence. It’s been wonderful to see their determination, teamwork and big smiles as they challenge themselves and cheer each other on.
Today we worked together to create questions for our class Google Form. This will support our final product.
Please can you complete the following survey to support with our research! https://forms.gle/NPt5MTEVnZPCgAYL8

Today the students became the masters of their own learning during our maths consolidation lesson on statistics. They confidently explained concepts and challenged each other with thoughtful questions and worked collaboratively to solve problems. Amazing work, keep it up!
Nice to see 3 of our children managing to get themselves a postcard. They have worked so hard and been kind.
At lunch a member of Crew Haddock decided that he wanted to clean our table ready for the next crew to have their lunch. Makes me so proud to see this
Please can you complete our questionnaire to find out about your favourite chocolate bars.
Thank you

In writing today the children looked at what where is. Over the past 3 days the children have looked at who?, doing? and where?
Today, Crew Godley explored gravity, researching the famous scientist Isaac Newton, who helped us understand gravity. He discovered that gravity is a force that pulls objects towards the Earth. Gravity is always working, even though we cannot see it. We also explored the work of Galileo Galilei. His most famous observation was that two objects of the same size but slightly different mass (how much “stuff” they are made of) hit the ground at the same time, as far as he could tell, if they are dropped from the same height. This happens because the acceleration due to gravity is the same for both objects.
To test this idea, we carried out our own experiments. We dropped bottles at the same time and carefully observed what happened. The children noticed that they hit the ground together!
We then explored forces in active ways:
This week, Crew McLoughlin took part in a fun and challenging Crew activity that put their teamwork and problem-solving skills to the test. The pupils were split into two groups and were tasked with passing a ball of paper around a circle without using their hands – encouraging creative thinking and strong communication. Once they had mastered this, the challenge was made even harder by removing the use of both hands and legs! The crew showed fantastic resilience, cooperation, and determination as they worked together to succeed.
