It was lovely to see children sharing their independent writes that they have been working on over the past week.
A big shout out to those children who stood up and shared their stories with the class too!
Sharing our independent writes ✏️
Solids, Liquids and Gases
Year 3 enjoyed starting case study two with a lesson on states of matter. We investigated what the particles look like in solids, liquids and gases and how changes in temperature affect states of matter.
Fractionopoly
Some children in year 6 have been playing Fractionopoly to help them learn and remember fractions in a fun and engaging way. The game encourages teamwork, problem-solving, and quick thinking while reinforcing key fraction skills.
Multiplying by 8!
Today, we have been revising multiplying by 8. We played a game to see who could answer the question the quickest. We enjoyed recalling our times tables.
Case Study Reflections
Today we completed our case study reflections all about our work on the Maya and chocolate.
Great work everyone! x
Fabulous Fractions
Today in maths we began our first fractions unit. We used coloured paper to deepen our understanding of the denominator. We learnt that the bigger the denominator, the smaller the fraction.
Crew Challenge
Today in crew 2 of the children mastered making a pyramid with cups but it wasn’t that easy ,had they could not pick them up with their hands. They had to use some string and an elastic band.
A Lovely Moment 📚✨
This week, a Year 4 pupil popped in to show me her independent writing and I couldn’t have been more pleased. I’m not her class teacher, but I do teach her reading, which made it extra special.
She explained how our reading lessons inspired her writing and it was lovely to see her making those links all by herself. It really shows her growing confidence and love of learning.
Miss McLoughlin is so proud of the effort and enthusiasm she’s shown. Moments like this really do make our day!
Well done – keep up the brilliant work! 🌟
Our Independent Diary Up-levelling ✏️
By children in Crew McLoughlin.
While Miss was working with part of the class to redraft a plot point, we were independently up-levelling our Tudor diary writing. Our diary is all about attending a royal Tudor banquet and we have been editing and improving it using ‘ARMS’ to add, remove, move and substitute ideas.
We have been including what we learned in grammar lessons, like expanded noun phrases, pronouns, adverbials, subordinating and coordinating conjunctions and parenthesis.
Our diary writing shows how the Tudors lived their daily lives and how sometimes their punishments didn’t fit the crime. We have really enjoyed revising our plot points and becoming more independent confident editors of our own work. We are proud of how much our writing has improved!
Building our multiplication skills with Base Ten
Crew Gray have been working really hard this week in Maths! We have been utilising Base Ten to support us multiplying 2 digit numbers together.
