On September 8th, UKS2 Crew visited Warner Brother Studios: Harry Potter World in London for their final hook in to their expedition: The Magic of Motion: How have trains been on a journey of change? This video captures our amazing, unforgettable experience…
Another week in Crew Fox completed✅! We’ve had a shorter week, missing Monday and this meant we were quite unsettled on Tuesday. Our HOWL averages were not the best at the start of the week and we’ve focused on being kind to our classroom and resources, and also focusing on our learning at all times. It has been a tough week but we have had had some great learning opportunities.
Our experience day in Expedition gave us an insight into life during the Industrial Revolution. We used our drama skills to act out cleaning in the mill, they were scavengers themselves, retrieving cotton and wool from under a pretend loom.
We engaged with our train expert Martin, and now have lots of information!
Our HOWL average was 2.4. Next week, our target is to really focus and remember to refocus when we go off task and continuing to take care of our classroom and looking after equipment.
Happy weekend everyone, have a lovely break.

UKS2 have had a hangout this morning with a train expert called Martin and other primaries across the Trust! We found out lots of information for our expedition, ‘How have trains been on a journey of change?’ Thank you Martin for your time.
This week, we’ve learned all about the train experts in our history case study. Throughout expedition, we’ve used ICT and secondary resources to research into the lives and work of James Watt, Sir Nigel Gresley, George Stephenson and Richard Trevithik. Crew Fox have created informative posters to share their findings about their chosen expert!
We are beginning to grasp all the rules of direct speech… there’s a lot to remember! We have worked hard and tried our best to create sentences using speech linking to the film clip Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone, ready to start our first plot point next week. Watch out for Crew Fox sentence stackers!
Next week we will be immersed into our history with an experience day linking to the Industrial Revolution… watch this space for photos and videos!
Have a lovely weekend everyone,
Mrs Fox
Hi all,
Next week, we are having an experience session in expedition to experience what life was like during the industrial revolution. Please can you pack a spare change of clothes for the children that you don’t mind getting dirty. This session will be either Tuesday/Wednesday or Thursday so please pack ready for Tuesday.
Thank you
UKS2
What a week!
We started the week off with watching Harry Potter and The Philosophers Stone to hook us into our writing sessions. We are beginning our first writing unit by writing in third person to narrate parts of the film. We have used our experience days to gather some great vocabulary to use within our writing!
Wednesday was an early start for our phase, setting off to Harry Potter World Studios in London at 7:30 AM. After a 4 hour journey, we arrived at Warner Brothers Studios… we were flabberghasted at how big the studio was!
I am in the making of a video (we captured around 400 photos/videos) to show our amazing journey from the day but as you can imagine, this is taking a while. So watch out for the video in a few days time… here’s a few photos to have a look at whilst the video is being made…
This week, our HOWL average was 2.4. As a crew, we decided that our targets are all around focusing and concentrating on achieving ME across the day. We are going to work really hard to get closer to a secure 3 next week.
Happy Friday everyone, have a lovely weekend!
Mrs Fox
