Crew MI 11th-15th October

Crew MI have had a very busy week! In writing they have continued to work hard on their Harry Potter narrative which is now complete! The progress they have made has been incredible. We have tried really hard to use varied adverbial, relative clause, coordinating and subordinating conjunctions and speech. As the unit has progressed, children have become much more confident when using their purple pen. They have acted on feedback, upleveled different sentences and edited their work. We are extremely proud of the writing produced.

In maths we have continued to work on our addition and subtraction skills. We have worked on using a written method and tried to solve problems where their are missing numbers. This caused us some challenges however we were resilient and never gave up. We also worked extremely well with ours peers to support each other when answering these problems.

In Reading we set up a conscience alley where we thought about positive and negatives about a topic. The children really enjoyed this and came up with some great ideas for debate!

We hope you all have a lovely half term and we look forward to seeing you all back in school in 2 weeks.

A spooktacular week in nursery!

This week in crew nursery, we are learning about Halloween – an event that some families choose to celebrate together! To start our spooktacular week, we have been dressing up as witches and wizards and making spooky meals in the home corner! We have drawn pumpkins using chalk and have made pumpkins using the play dough. To strengthen our motor skills, we have carefully hammered golf tees into a pumpkin – we needed to be really careful and concentrate when doing this!
