Let’s Build!!
The children celebrated their learning with their parents, explaining to their grownups ‘What lies within the castle walls’.
During the celebration of learning we set our grown ups a challenge! To create a catapult which fired the furthest, it was so much fun working together! Alissia and her Dad built an amazing catapult which used some incredible power to launch her boulder all the way across the playground!
Tomorrow afternoon, the children will be spending a short time outside to support the school community to keep the area safe and tidy.
It has been rather wet recently so it may be beneficial for them to bring a spare pair of shoes/trainers where it doesn’t matter if they get a bit muddy.
Thank you
I love the Crew activities that Mrs Rhodes challenges us to on a Tuesday. Today the children had to work with a partner to decide how they would get from one side of the playground to the other. Sounds easy enough, however, they had to be in sync with each other and mirror each others moves. There were lots of giggle this morning as children collaborated on how they would complete the task. Some fantastic speaking and listening happening between the pairs. We had some children doing the crab, ballet, skipping and even cartwheels. Lots of fun had by all.
Oh the brains in Crew Shields were tested this morning. We have finished up our addition and subtraction unit with multistep problems. This is an area that children can find tricky as there is more to think about to ensure they arrive at the correct answer. It was great seeing them get stuck in and challenge themselves. Good job everyone!
Today the children have explored the story of ‘We’re going on a bear hunt” more closely using the nursery provision. We have had mud in the tough try and ice in the water tray. We have loved feeling the different textures and getting ”mucky”.
As part of out expedition this week we are writing a set of instructions so what better way to practice following instructions than to make a tasty treat. We used imperative verbs and time connectives to write some collaborative instructions and then followed them. Great work CrewRobson!
We started our day with our caring curriculum in Crew. Here we thought about friendship and what makes a good friendship.
We also made a start on our non chronological reports in writing and started to think about our gravity sections. We thought about the subheading and built our sentences using our gold and green targets. Tomorrow we will finish our chunk 2 then edit and improve our work. We are also looking forward to building an interesting fact box which we hope will engage our reader further.
In maths we thought about mixed numbers and improper fractions and converted between both. We built an anchor chart together before applying to our books. We then looked at subtracting fractions!
Some great work in MI today! 🙂
During Crew time, we celebrated those pupils with HoWLs that are ‘Great’ meaning their HoWL average is 3.5+. We showed our appreciation for how hard they work with a little cake!

It is fair to say that Crew Gerrard were absolutely buzzing with the litter picking this afternoon and thoroughly loved it. It was great seeing so much enjoyment, Crew work and effort in making sure our playground is treated well. They were truly kind and want to make sure that it looks beautiful! What a fantastic effort guys! 😆
