LKS2 have started their new PE unit: Dodgeball. We learnt the different rules and how we need to work together as a team. There was some excellent teamwork, along with healthy competition, showing a real sense of crew. Well done!
LKS2 also had a mini-football tournament to finish off their unit of football. The ball control, dribbling and skills were fantastic. Even better, there was so much communication to be heard and smiles as they enjoyed playing their game of football.
LKS2 have been learning about the roles of men and women during World War 2. This week, we have researched the different roles men had. The children learnt that men did many jobs; such as: working in industry, down the mines, for the police force, as a fire officer, as an ARP Warden and many many more. The children presented their information by making posters. They were so eager to show off all their new learning.
In one of the LKS2 maths groups, we have been working really hard on Place Value, understanding how many tens and ones there are in a number. This young man has worked so hard and is feeling very proud of himself. We are all very proud of you!
We spent time looking through our expedition books and shared our beautiful work with the rest of our crew. It was lovely to see you all so proud of the work you have been producing. Well done CrewRobson!
Monday 7th November
MI started to explore the front cover and blurb of our new text. We explored the layout thinking about what the text may be about. We then worked collaboratively in a vocabulary challenge where we matched words from the front cover to definitions. We then linked this back to our guiding question and expedition. We then made predictions based on the front cover thinking about what we may read about, the different sections in the book and linking our ideas to books with similar themes.
This afternoon we discovered a pumpkin in our tuff tray! We asked Miss Welburn to cut a hole in the top so that we could explore what was on the inside…we found lots of slimy, gloopy, gooey pulp to squish between our hands! We also discovered lots of pumpkin seeds inside which we saved to see if new pumpkins will grow from when we plant them outside!
This week in Crew Welburn, we are focussing on the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. We read in the story that the bears were making porridge for their breakfast, and wondered what this tasted like. We got to work straight away making Mummy Bear’s sweet porridge, Daddy Bear’s plain porridge, and Baby Bear’s porridge that was just right. We had a vote at the end and we decided that most of us preferred Mummy Bear’s sweet porridge! 🥣🐻
Don’t forget to sign up for the Halloween Witches and Wizards disco, taking place tomorrow.
If you would like your child to attend please ensure you have signed up before 3pm today! Unfortunately we can not accept payment any later due to organising refreshments and staffing.
All children will enter through their classroom doors tomorrow for the disco at 3.30pm where they will be registered if payment has been made. We ask that children are collected at 4.30pm from their classroom doors.
Preparations for Young Voices will begin on Tuesday 1st November (3:00-4:00) for children in KS2. Please ensure that your child is signed up via ParentPay to secure their place. The club will be FREE to attend and further information about our Young Voices performance will be sent out in due course. This event is always such a great success and it would be fantastic if as many children as possible are able to attend our rehearsals weekly ready for our performance at Sheffield Arena in January 2023!
