Today, we kicked off our poetry unit with an inspiring session watching the legendary Michael Rosen perform. After analyzing his iconic style, we built a performance toolkit to sharpen our own skills. We spent the rest of the lesson rehearsing in pairs, fine-tuning our delivery to ensure our upcoming performances are just as captivating.
Year 3 loved sharing their stories inspired by ‘The Journey Home’ with FS1, Year 2 and Year 5.
The staff were very impressed with their stories and how confidently they read them.
Well done CrewRobson!
Today in Crew Colclough, we were super proud of ourselves as we reached the final part of the writing process. We were able to become authors and illustrators, publishing our very own books! We can’t wait to share them with the school community, parents, and carers on Monday. Well done for your hard work—I know how proud you are.
In Crew White, as well as preparing for our SATs, we have been learning about human life cycles. We have learnt particularly about the emotional and behavioural changes, along with the physical changes that the body goes through.
We produced double page spreads to show off our understanding, thinking about our audience and the purpose of explaining and informing.
After a week the beans started to sprout! Look how excited we are 🙂
This was them after 2 weeks! Look how tall they are! Notice the difference with 4 days? WOW! We measure each day and write it on our chart. We’re excited to see how much they grow over the weekend.
The seeds we harvested from our tomatoes have even started to grow! Amazing!
Over the past week, the children have sequenced the stages of plant growth and made and labelled their own flowers, all doing a fantastic job! Not only did they love creating the flowers, but they were also enthusiastic when talking through how plants grow. They are showing great interest and knowledge within the Growth and Change topic.

Today, Crew McLoughlin successfully initiated their scientific investigation by drafting their title, aim, hypothesis and variables before diving into active testing. To determine if exercise directly impacts our heart rate. They conducted a controlled experiment measuring heart rate at resting, low intensity exercise and high intensity. By documenting their pulse before and after activity, they were able to gather their findings.
They loved writing about what the big bad wolf did to the straw house .
