What is play?
We have enjoyed our first few lessons of our new expedition.
Today we unpicked what play is. We talked about how play can take lots of different forms such as imaginative and individual. Most of all we agreed that play should be fun!.
This is the definition of play that some of our crew came up with together.
“Play is when we have fun with our friends. We are kind and respectful to others. We can be a crew when we play together.”
We then went on to produce some beautiful work all about what play is.
Great work CrewRobson
Fine motor skills
As part of their morning task, they developed their fine motor skills by carefully threading pasta onto string. This activity helped to strengthen their hand-eye coordination, concentration, and control of small hand movements.
Place Value in Crew MI
What a week we have had in maths! Crew MI have been amazing mathematicians this week and showed great resilience when tackling some tricky problems. We have used the concrete resources to support us with our learning and have played some great maths games along the way. Keep this great up as work up to millions next week!
Booktalk in Crew FI
We have started our new book ‘Orion Lost’ and we are really enjoying it so far. We have unpicked new vocabulary, made predictions about what we thought the book would be about and what would happen next, we discussed how to answer a range of questions and played a game or true or false. We are really looking forward to reading chapter 2 next week.

Fabulous Fieldwork on Friday!
To conclude Hook Week we embarked on fieldwork to Cusworth Hall to explore the historic house, learn more about toys and continue to reflect on how we play.
We love taking part in the Gnome Trail and were extremely lucky that Eila’s Mum was able to run a workshop and give us the opportunity to play with some of the museums toys.
I was very impressed with HoWLs today too. Well done Crew Robson!
Being a kind and respectful crew
This week we have continued to build on becoming familiar with our learning environment, working beautifully with other members of our crew, and treating our resources with respect. It has been lovely to see our crew being kind during choosing time.
Pre-writing skills practice in Crew McGlone ✍🏼
We have been working on our pre-writing skills in Crew McGlone this week. We started by looking at how we need the correct posture when sitting at our tables to show we are ready to write before then moving on to look at using ‘pinch parrot’ to help us with the correct pencil grip. We talked about how when we are writing we start on the left and move to the right, starting at the top of the paper before moving our way down.
We used our new knowledge to have a go at tracing over lines and different patterns to practise these skills.
