Budding Artists 👩🎨
Today we have done our first draft of our African inspired pointillism. In Crew Godley we are painting tigers 🐯 we have critiqued these using Austin’s Butterfly ready for our second draft.
Finding 1 more in maths
Today in maths, we were exploring finding 1 more. We chose a number from the spinner, made it and found 1 more! We were really confident in making the number and then showing what 1 more would be using our tens frames and counters.
Perfect Penguin Predictions 🐧📖✏️
To kickstart our new writing unit, based on the story Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers, for our experience lesson we discussed what we knew about penguins and predicted what the book would be about based on the front cover. We also watched an interesting video all about different types of penguins! Did you know there is a Fairy Penguin 🐧 that lives in Australia! 🇦🇺
Henry’s 3D Printing 🍊🐊
Henry brought in a 3D printed crocodile and orange he made during half term with his Uncle to share with our crew and put on our expedition display. I can’t wait to see what you make next!
Celebrating beautiful work
It was lovely to see some of the beautiful work that is taking place across school. These children shared their beautiful work with their peers and offered some lovely praises to one another. Well done everyone 🙂
Wonderful writing!
Crew MW have been working hard on their writing skills today. After a visit from Goldilocks, they wanted to tell Miss Welburn how to make porridge like they did with Miss McGlone on Tuesday. They worked hard to build sentences together in a group and then to pinch their sounds using their Fred fingers and spell the words to make captions. We’re really impressed with the captions that they came up with!
Beautiful Work
In LKS2, we have been having a huge push on presentation and ensuring we are producing work we’re proud of. Massive well done to Lylah and Bodhan who are setting the bar high in Crew Shields
Amazing writers in Crew Godley ✍️
Wow! I am so proud of the crew today, getting smart to produce beautiful work. We ensured we reflected on our presentation, sitting our letters on the line, using finger spaces and the correct punctuation. It was a lot to think about! We wrote with pride and I couldn’t have been more prouder at our first attempt to produce display writing. Well done Crew Godley!
If it’s good enough for our children…..
Staff do crew too! At XP, we always say, if it’s good enough for the children, it’s good enough for us.
Therefore, just like our pupils, staff also take part in staff crew events. Yesterday staff had to work with small crews they don’t often work with to complete the ‘Great British Bake Off’. The challenge was to produce Mary Berry standards cakes whilst also decorating and presenting their beautiful work. It was a challenge in just 60 minutes!
I’m sure you’ll agree that there were some wonderful creations which the children enjoyed exploring too!
In 1st place was ‘The Gruffalo’ followed by ‘Wonka’ in second place and in third, ‘Mary Beary’.
