Improving pace and stamina in academic crew 📖
In crew this morning we were timed to answering 3 questions in 10 minutes and challenged to green by creating our own questions for peers within this time limit. We loved getting active and learning at the same time. Reading pace and stamina has been our focus this half term in academic crew and we can definitely see an improvement.
Mathstars 🤘🎸➗✖️
Crew Mcloughlin was full of mathstars today. We started the morning off by creating arithmetic anchor charts in mini-crews to help us with our learning; these now look great on our maths working wall and we can refer to them all of the time. We then put our knowledge to the test in a kahoot arithmetic quiz.
Dissecting flowers 🌷
We have started our science lesson today by dissecting a tulip and labelling the parts. We loved this and cannot wait to finish learning about pollination and the life cycle of a flowering plant tomorrow!

This week we have started reading The Vanishing Rainforest this week by Richard Platt.
We debated whether we agreed with the nabë’ planning on chopping down many of the rainforests trees. All of us disagreed based on this being unfair for the tribe who live in the forest – no forest means no animals and no food for many people. So to make it a debate some of us had to put our acting skills to the test and agree. Some children agreed as more trees could be planted… we listened well and tried to build on each other’s ideas. Great work in reading today Crew Mcloughlin!

Expeditionary learning so far …🗺🌍🌧🦥
Here’s some snapshots of what we have been getting up to during our new expedition this term Why should we help our planet survive? We are currently engaging in science and geography case studies and the children are loving it!
