It’s been a busy week for us in Crew Boswell as we’ve looked to push on from our great first week back. Here’s some of the highlights to give you a glimpse as well as our quote for the week…
“Mistakes are proof that you are trying.”

Maths Week
This week we have been enjoying a range of activities and games in maths. From multiplication to number bonds and sequences to fractions there has been plenty of learning going on and some real excitement about developing our skills in maths.
Expedition
We have continued to look at states of matter during our expedition lessons and have looked at how we can alter the time it takes for solutes to dissolve. There were some surprises during our investigation but these have certainly been some of the more exciting sessions that we have had. Did you know that rice is insoluble in water but does change the colour of the water?
Crew
We are continuing to develop our teamwork in crew through the use of COJO and Scotty’s Heroes as well as our daily reflections about our learning. It has been great to see us taking more time to support each other and this was most evident when trying to learn our Bulgarian numbers. They’re a lot harder than they look! This also gave us a little insight into how it feels trying something unfamiliar and the importance of having support to help us to get things right. We’re sure that we can build on this throughout the year!
Our Weekly Reflection
We have had a lot of success this week (including some extra break time for beating our HoWL score from last week) and there has been plenty of praises within the crew. Here are just a few of the praises and wonders that we have discussed:
“I praise Ivan for focusing on his learning today and completing our work in expedition.”
”I praise Freya for showing us how to be a good sportsperson when we don’t win at something.”
“I praise everyone for trying to learn a little Bulgarian.”
”I praise Gabriel for making us laugh a lot today.”
”I wonder if we can help each other to focus by not talking as much.”
Have a wonderful weekend everyone and we’re looking forward to another exciting (and shorter) week next week!
