Super soil sections!
As part of our current Expedition, Earth Shattering Events, we looked at the different layers of soil. We made our own soil showing the organic matter, topsoil, subsoil and bedrock using different biscuits.
Dodgeball tournament! 🏐
KS1 have loved attending the dodgeball tournament today. They were a credit to the school and worked their socks off… I am sure they will sleep well tonight.

Maths in MI
We explored the inverse in our magic maths session today as well as consolidating our knowledge on measure. We divided and multipled by 10, 100 and 1000 when converting between units of measure.
Writing in MI
MI have now written their first 2 plot points of their 3rd person suspense narrative. Their setting descriptions included some great figurative language and their second plot point introduced an unknown threat that started to approach their main character. We can’t wait to write our next plot point!
Flower art 🌸
We have some beautiful blossom trees in our outdoor area in EYFS and we have noticed that some of the flowers had started to fall off and onto the playground. During our last expedition, we used small wooden hammers to create flower art so we decided to get them out and use the blossom to make beautiful pictures.
We added glue to our paper before choosing our flowers and using the hammers to flatten them onto our paper, making sure they were well stuck down. The final pieces looked really pretty!
Whilst we were doing this activity, we spotted a huge bee taking a break on the flowers we planted last half term. We looked carefully at how it was moving, making sure that we didn’t get too close and frighten him. We noticed that it was wiggling it’s body, trying to get lots of pollen stuck to it. We left some sugary water nearby in case it needed more energy to continue finding pollen. 🐝
What can we see in our local area?
As part of our expedition we have been observing the types of vehicles that drive past our school, as well as what buildings surround us. We used our problem solving skills to make a platform to stand on so that we could see over the wall.
Once we were on our platform we looked at the different buildings around us – we could see houses, bungalows, shops and a scout hut. There were lots of different vehicles that drove down Owston Road too – we saw lots of cars, buses, vans, bikes and even a lorry! We tried to think of reasons why those people were out and about and where they could be going. We thought lots of people might be going to the shops and we even said that some people might have been going to the seaside! We really enjoyed watching what we happening outside our school and we worked really hard to make sure that everyone was safe whilst using our platform.
Stay and engage – Crew McGlone 🚗🚚🚂
To get hooked into our new expedition, we invited our grown ups into school to help us create box models of different modes of transport. We had lots of different resources and materials to use and we used our creative skills to help us create AMAZING models that are now on display in our classroom. We will build on our skills by making lots of different box models linked to our expedition over the next few weeks. Miss McGlone was VERY impressed with what we created during our stay and engage session and she can’t wait to see what other creations we can make! Thank you to our grown ups for coming in and helping us, it was a lovely morning!
