Massive well done to Crew Shields for their great work in Scotty’s heroes. The children were learning how to build a shelter which would protect them from the elements. They really enjoy Scotty’s Heroes because it’s teaching them great life skills.

Comparing numbers in KS1
Crew Godley mathematicians have been busy comparing numbers and exploring the language ‘greater than, less than and equals too’. We’ve used our crocodile 🐊 hands to help us.
Scientists in the making!
Fascinating Forces
We started the week researching different types of forces. We got hands on to demonstrate these to develop a deeper understanding before we are going to focus on these individually later on in the week.
We now can explain and demonstrate gravity, friction, water resistance and air resistance 🤩
Independent comprehension in MI
We really challenged ourselves in reading today. We used the text well to answer different comprehension questions and ensured we had a positive attitude throughout, even when we found questions a little hard. Great resilience MI 🙂
Investigating gravity in MI
Today we looked at a Newton meter and measured the force acting on different objects. We worked collaboratively to do this and used the scale to read the amount of newtons.
Using our knowledge so far we then thought about what we could do to test gravity. This became our aim. This was what we wanted to find out. We then thought about what a hypothesis was and its purpose. We thought about how this would help our investigation. We then wrote our own hypothesis.
From here we took part in the investigation testing out our aim and hypothesis. You can see us in action below… We were all shocked by what we found out!
Exploring types of forces in MI
Today we started to explore and discuss forces in our expedition lessons. We watched a variety of different clips to understand what a force is and the different types. We then became active and showed both gravity and friction in different ways. We then used the knowledge we had gained to create our own anchor chart for our working wall on the different types of forces. We showed great collaborative working and supported our partner well.
Den building in the rain🏕
This week in Scottys Heroes, in our mini crews, we built shelters in the forest. We developed invaluable team working skills and thoroughly enjoyed embracing the outdoors!
LKS2 Autumn Day! 🍁🍂
LKS2 have loved their scavenger hunt in nature and creating a wide variety of art, after completing several challenges!
Hello Autumn! 🍁🍂🦔
