Yesterday, we created our own water cycle wheel. We explained the part played by condensation and precipitation in the water cycle. We then explained the process of condensation and precipitation within the water cycle and how they are a reversible process. 🌧️🌦️
This afternoon, we planted our own pea seed! We followed the instructions carefully and filled out our plant planner. We can’t wait to watch our pea grow and fill in our planner! 🌱
This morning we had our first LKS2 Community Meeting where we invited the parents of those children who were our Learning Legends from last week! It was lovely to share each crews celebrations including ‘crew praises’, ‘HoWLs’, ‘attendance’ and ‘what we’ve done in our crew this week’, as well as ‘Reading Champions’, ‘Star Readers’ and ‘Learning Legends’. Well done to all of those pupils who received a certificate this week! 👏
In expedition today, we set up our evaporation experiment! We can’t wait to check back in a few days to see what has happened and see if our predictions were correct! 👀
During Hook Week, as part of The Write Stuff, all of the pupils in LKS2 wrote an invite to invite all family members to our COL event. We then created a shared invite and sent this to our COMMS Team at XP alongside our ‘rasterbator’ creation. Last week, we received our final products to hand out to our grown ups! We were super impressed with them! Hopefully your child has given you one and we would love to see you all on Wednesday 12th July at 2pm.
LKS2 children and their male grown ups had a lovely start to the day this morning! What could be better than starting the day with a bacon butty and a cuppa with a family member? Thank you to all of those grown ups that attended! 👍
To celebrate Healthy Eating Week, everybody in Year 3 and 4 designed a new Aldi truck to align with their competition in partnership with the Olympics. Across Year 3 and 4, everybody designed a truck for our own mini competition. Everyone worked hard to create a healthy food truck, with unique and wonderful designs which made it hard to choose a favourite from each crew! Well done all of Year 3 and 4!

What a great, fun filled Friday we have had in Crew Thompson today celebrating pyjamarama day! 🤩
After break, we visited Starbooks! ☕🧋 We got to choose a drink off the menu and sit down to read a book! It was lovely to see the children enjoying the book and read for pleasure. They even got to review the book and say whether they would recommend it or not!
Before lunch, we completed a kahoot quiz which is something our crew really enjoy doing. We had one that tested our knowledge on a range of books we have read and spoken about!
After lunch, we read a story called “A Monster’s Surprise”. We choose some characters to put in the hot seat and ask a few questions! We also did some freeze frames to show the different parts of the story.
After all our hard work, we went outside to read our class shared read with an ice lolly! 🍦 We loved sitting in the shade and listening to Miss Lee read Charlie and the Chocolate factory … we are just getting to the good bit! 📖
Today was our last Community Meeting where it will just be us! Next week, we are very much looking forward to welcoming some of our grown ups into our Community Meetings so that we can share all of our amazing learning, celebrations, praises and appreciations!
This week we had lots to celebrate! We celebrated all of those children who took part in our Rounders Competition. Well done everyone! We are all so proud of you! 🏆
We also celebrated all of those children in each crew who read at home the most! 📚 This week’s winning crew was Crew Thompson with a total of 6 crew members reading 5 times last week! Amazing work! 🌟 I wonder which crew will take the crown next week?! 👑 We also celebrated our ‘Star Readers’ who will get to enjoy breakfast with Mrs Atherton next week! 🥐🥤
It was also nice this week to celebrate some of the children’s achievements out of school. This week we had two girls in Crew Thompson who proudly shared their medals 🥇from a recent football ⚽ tournament, where they came first! 🌟 A fantastic achievement! Well done girls! 👏
An amazing week! 🌟 We look forward to sharing more next week!
