We have been learning about the 2 times tables using bricks to visualise what this looks like. We noticed doubles! We then wrote out the abstract form and noticed the commutativity of multiplication… check us out!
Multiplication Fun In Crew Ramsay
Category : Beautiful Work
First Day Back Crew!
For our first day back we enjoyed an extended crew session in Crew Ramsay. We spoke about the beautiful Work in our class last half term and celebrated these with the new unveiling of our Beautiful Work display. These children have worked on their pledges and showcased real growth and perseverance! We then enjoyed a challenge in groups playing The Leaning Tower of Feet-za! This reminded us to reflect on our work/challenges and strategise for improvement, always. Great work guys!
We’re on the move.

Rainy days
We value outdoor play in all weathers; however, when the weather requires us to adapt, we enjoy providing creative and engaging alternatives. Today, Crew Frost particularly enjoyed exploring large cardboard boxes arranged throughout the room, using them as a stimulus for imaginative and creative expression.
The children applied their developing fine motor skills with confidence, creating a range of thoughtful and detailed artwork. Some children transferred their final product knowledge into the provision by designing and constructing a hot air balloon, while others drew on their Understanding of the World and awareness of People and Communities to create birthday cakes for their peers.
The children explored a variety of mark-making resources, including felt tips, pencils and chalk. This provided a valuable opportunity to observe and assess their pencil grip development and current stages of fine motor control. The activity was highly engaging and offered a fun and meaningful alternative learning experience.
Beautiful work, Crew Frost.
Final product.
This week, the children completed their final outcome. Each child selected a vehicle and used wax crayons to create an observational drawing, which will form part of their cohesive flap book. Throughout the process, the children demonstrated strong listening skills and developing fine motor control. They also showed effective critical thinking and problem-solving as they worked carefully through each step of the task. We have thoroughly enjoyed observing their engagement and focus and look forward to seeing the completed flap books. Well done, Crew Frost.
Beautiful Work
Today, we have celebrated some of the beautiful work that has been produced in Crew Colclough. Pupils have worked hard in their independent writes as well as ensuring our work is presented to a high standard.
Publishing our Independent Writes
Independent Writing
We have started our independent writing which is a recount inspired by The Day The crayons Quit. Here we are taking great pride in our work and getting smart by being aware of our targets.
Sharing our independent writes ✏️
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!
Read Write Inc Practice Sheets
This week, the children have began using Read Write Inc. practice sheets. These help them to develop their letter formation skills and create clear, recognizable letters. This will be an ongoing activity throughout their school year.
The children practice saying the picture of the sound, the letter sound , then they practice using the picture cards. They then say the phrase as they write, and finally say the sound again while forming the letter. This supports their phonics and early writing development.
We look forward to sending these sheets home as part of home learning and seeing the amazing work that Crew Frost continue to produce.
