Experimenting in expedition

Exploring filtering and dissolving in Y6 expedition this afternoon.

Crew MI 25.11.21

Wow! What a day it has been in crew MI. We have been extremely busy with our non-chronological report writing. We have made sure we have been using fantastic sentence openers, conjunctions to extend our sentences and tricky punctuation- even trying to include colons and semi colons. We then have then been very busy typing up our writing for our final expedition product… more on this later!

Just a reminder that it is non uniform tomorrow and the children will be watching a performance of sleeping beauty. Please can you log on to parent pay to pay  the £1. Have a great evening.

Meet the crew!

Meet the new Crew Welburn! We’ve had such an amazing day full of children working hard, getting smart and being kind. We spent our afternoon together building our crew and discussing what we would like to see over the next few weeks. I can’t wait to see everyone’s smiley faces again in the morning!

LKS2 Experience Day (23.11.21)

Today in LKS2, we have been completing our Experience Day. Together, we worked in small groups to provide key information about the first three chapters of our new book ‘Running on the Roof of the World’. The children were read to and then shared summaries of their chapter, which will help us with our writing over the next few weeks! Check out the photos below!

 

Crew MI

Crew MI have carried on with their non chronological reports today and are really thinking about their sentence structure. We are trying hard to use a relative clause, brackets and dashes. Our confidence is starting to improve and we are producing some great writing.

We have also worked hard in our maths lesson today where we have looked at line graphs. We did find this challenging however we really thought about what the question was asking us and managed to solve the problems!

Crew Godley 19.11.2021

We have really tried to focus on our HoWL score this week in all 3 areas (work hard, get smart and be kind). Our crew have been determined to make sure we are making the right choices to show what beautiful work we can produce when we are focused. Slight disappointment this week when we reflected on our HoWLS as some crew members have found it tricky this week to keep on top of those 3’s. However, I would like to praise those children in Crew Godley who have achieved the golden 4’s this week! Keep up the great work I am so proud of you 😊

We have continued our work in art, by continuing to focus on the work of Quentin Blake, we have critiqued our work this week and I was blown away by the maturity of the children, they had some very thought notices, praises and wonders.

Over the next week, we will be creating our own heroes in the style of Quentin Blake. We can’t wait! We are ever so excited to be lucky enough to have a visit from Natasha Clarke. She is a talented local artist, who is going to help the crews create portraits of famous heroes as part of our finished product. You can see some of her amazing artwork here.

In maths, we have been investigating 10’s, identifying ten more and ten less. Using our equipment has really helped us and the crew were eager to extend this in their morning tasks 🔟

Have a great weekend everyone 😊

TWITP KS1 13.11.21

What a great week we have had in KS1 celebrating maths week. We’ve all worked hard to produce beautiful work by challenging ourselves to complete some fantastic maths. We’ve incorporated our maths into al, aspects of the curriculum and taken part in some some great sporting activities whilst also using our number knowledge ⚽️ Keep up the great work KS1 and enjoy your weekend ☺️

Busy Thursday! (18.11.21)

It’s been a really busy day in Crew Gerrard. We’ve enjoyed our extra 15 minutes of break time that we earned on our Howl-opoly spin. I know we loved spending more time out doors! 😃

This afternoon we then worked on consolidating our knowledge of column method, with addition and subtraction. This was great fun and it was great to see our Crew work collaboratively to help others gain more confidence and ‘get smart’.

Enjoy the long weekend Crew G and see you on Tuesday for another busy week! 😆
