In writing, we had an experience day exploring the dialogue that the characters for our newspaper article could have. We watched this section of Pig Heart Boy and recorded the types of questions they asked. It was great seeing their drama skills come out but importantly having fun with the activity.

Carcroft Chronicles – Pig Heart Boy
Our newspaper articles for Pig Heart Boy are well underway in Crew Shields. Some lovely vocabulary and trying to include all our cohesive devices.
Osmosis – How does it work?
This afternoon, we have been exploring the process of osmosis so the children can understand ho the nutrients from our food are absorbed into the blood stream. This was a tricky concept to understand but we were resilient and asked for further diagrams or explanations when we needed clarity.
Mental health – 8/6/22
A massive thank you to Mr Ibbotson who took the time to come and be our expert about mental health.
During his talk, he explained about mental health, how we can look after it and the impact to our daily lives if we don’t take care of ourselves.
The children had lots of questions to ask which helped their understand and develop their knowledge. Amazing to have an expert on hand to help us.
Crew Shields – Newspaper Cafe
Crew Shields have explored newspapers and had the opportunity to read some articles.
They provided praises, notices and wonders about the articles. They did a great job picking out the features of a newspaper report.
Crew Shields – 6/6/22
A great first day back! It’s almost like we haven’t been away.
Some fantastic collaboration while the children explore the impacts diet, exercise and drugs have on our body.
Crew Shields – 27/5/22
What a great day with swimming. Lots of children pushing themselves to achieve and it’s been great in Crew hearing them talk about how proud of themselves they are.
Have a lovely half term. Have fun and be safe.
Jubilee Celebrations – Crew Shields
We’ve had such a lovely day celebrating the Queen’s Jubilee and it was lovely seeing all the families enjoying themselves.
Crew Shields absolutely loved their time on the bouncy castle. Thank you to all Crew Shields parents for joining us. 😊
First Aid – Crew Shields
Massive well done to Crew Shields for completing a first aid course.
The instructor was extremely impressed with their learning behaviours and maturity.
Heart Dissection
Today, we had the chance to dissect a heart which would allow us to develop our understanding further. We weren’t all delighted at the prospect of cutting the heart open but we had a go. Although, some of us had to leave the room. Definitely, a different experience in the classroom for Crew Shields.
Max/Ellie – I enjoyed exploring the aorta and the vena cava.
Hannah – I loved dissecting the heart and exploring the aorta and vena cava.
Ellie – I learned the muscle on the right side of the heart is thicker because it has more work to by pumping all the blood around the body. The Left muscle wall is thinner because it only has to pump blood to the lungs.
