Just a quick reminder for all Year 5s that tomorrow’s session will be continuing to look at water safety. Please can everyone bring shorts and t-shirt (or loose-fitting pyjamas if nothing else) in addition to normal kit and uniform. These clothes will be worn over the top of the swimming kit for the session.
Today has been a great day for UKS2 as we had the opportunity to explore the Thackray Museum. It was very interesting exploring life for people from 1840 and how that has changed in the present day. Some great discussions especially around how in 50 years time there will be children visiting the museum, who will learn about the covid pandemic.
As we walked round, we had a range of questions to answer in our pairs for each of the different medicine rooms that we entered. We had lots of reading to do in order to really understand how medicine has dramatically changed over the years. This meant our Work Hard and Get Smart HOWLS had to be secure so that we could be successful in our comprehension work!
On Friday (1st July), the children will need to bring shorts and t-shirt that they can get wet in the pool, in addition to their costumes. This lesson is to focus on safety and how to swim when potentially wearing clothing other than their swimming costumes.
Please remember to also have dry clothes to change into after swimming.
Our Crew pledge has been to challenge ourselves in all lessons so it was lovely to see most children attempting the spicy challenge in Maths and moving on to problem solving and reasoning. Well done Crew Shields
Today in Crew Welburn, we have been exploring place value to 100. We have looked at representing numbers to 100 using base ten, and partitioning numbers using our arrow cards to create addition facts! We are getting really confident now and can’t wait to apply our learning to our fluency and problem solving tasks!
What a fantastic (and tiring) day we have had at Bridlington. Firstly, we visited the interesting John Bull Confectioners sweet factory. We saw how hard sweets are made and even had the chance to create our own rock. This took a lot of perseverance and effort to be able to role and mould the rock. Throughout the tour, we were lucky enough to eat a variety of sweets, chocolate and biscuits made within the factory. We even wanted to eat our rock that we had made.
After lunch, we then went to the beach. We loved our time playing with our friends on the glorious sand, under the beautiful sun. Although it was windy, it did not stop us having fun. After burning off a load of energy, we were treated to a delicious ice lolly, which helped us cool down. We would not have been able to have this, had we not raised an amazing amount of money from our cake sale a couple of months ago.
