Fun in provision

16th November 2022A Welburn

We’ve had so much fun in provision this morning! The boys really impressed Miss Welburn in the construction area by using the mobile to build models. They followed their instructions and perservered when they were finding it challenging and did not give up! Have a look at some of their creations…

We also had lots of fun practicing writing our sounds on whiteboards and blending them into words. We were doing this independently which knocked Miss Welburn’d socks off!

Over lunch time, we explored how to make our own bubble wands. It was a little bit tricky trying to keep our fingers from popping the bubbles, but we got there in the end! Keep up the fantastic work Crew Welburn!

Challenge Crew in Crew Boswell

16th November 2022Matthew Boswell

In our challenge this week, we had to untangle the human knot. This required us to work together and remain patient as we took turns trying to unpick the knots. Here’s a little glimpse of how we got on…it wasn’t an easy one!

Arithmetic – decimals

15th November 2022Ruth Shields

In Maths, the children have been applying their addition and subtraction skills to decimal numbers. We discussed the importance of layout and how they need to remember the decimal point.

We then had another grouping with Mrs Rhodes who were looking at multiplying a decimal by 10, 100 and 1000.

Crew Challenge – 15/11/22

15th November 2022Ruth Shields

Another great challenge from Mrs Rhodes.

This morning the children worked in pairs – one drawing and one giving instructions. As part of the challenge the person had to describe the image with shapes and position to help their partner recreate the image. This is a tricky thing to do as it requires clear precise instructions as well as excellent listening skills. Pleasingly quite a few children managed to accomplish this task.

Beautiful work in MI

15th November 2022Stacey McClare

Today we took part in a discrete handwriting session then applied our learning to our non chronological reports. These are well on their way now and we all can’t wait to finish them. We have ensured we have produced beautiful work that we are proud of 🙂 Great work MI!

Non chronological report writing

14th November 2022Stacey McClare

Today we continued to work on our non chronological reports. We thought about our air resistance and water resistance sections before moving onto mechanisms. We used our expedition work to support us with this as well as the anchor charts we had created. We have tried really hard to work on the work hard howl, especially trying our best even when we are challenged.

We have also started assessment week. We completed our grammar, punctuation and spelling test today. Well done MI for ensuring you had a positive attitude throughout.

Hula hoop challenge in Crew Nursery.

14th November 2022Toni Ferguson

The children worked hard as a crew to get the hula hoop around the circle without letting go of each other’s hands. They had to bend down low to allow their heads to pass through the hoop and then stand up tall to step through the hoop with their feet. It was very tricky, but by talking to each other we did it!

Miss Ferguson was so proud of all of us for trying so hard to work together. Well done Crew Nursery.

F2 – Poppy Fork Painting

14th November 2022Sarah Mcglone

In Crew Welburn we used our fork painting skills to create pictures of poppies for Remembrance Day. We started by using our forks to print an outline of a poppy flower before using the same printing skills to fill in the middle to create the red petals. After that, we used a round pot to draw around to create a black circle that we then cut it out using scissors. To finish, we glued the black circle in the middle of our flower to create the centre of the poppy. The finished products look absolutely beautiful, I am sure you will agree!
