We need your help – Crew Shields

18th March 2022Ruth Shields

Over the next 2 weeks, the crew will be completing their Final product which has DT focus. They have designed their product and used natural resources to decorate but we need your help…

If you happen to be out and about, especially now the sun has made an appearance. We would really appreciate any of the following items;

Small stones/pebbles

Leaves

flowers that could potentially be dried

shells

twigs

sand

Cut off of any ribbons/wool – bits that would normally be thrown out

Any other natural material that could be used as a decoration on an item approx A5.
The children can bring these in or I’m on the door in the mornings and afternoon.

Thanking you in advance

A great day had by everyone 😀

Evolution – how have birds changed over time?

4th March 2022Ruth Shields

During Science, the crew had an opportunity to explore the evolution of birds beak to further understand why plants and animals have to evolve so they can survive. The children wrote a hypothesis about which beak they thought would be better before experimenting with different beak types. They really enjoyed this and most children were able to articulate why birds beaks have had to evolve over time.

Writing – knowledge building

4th March 2022Ruth Shields

This week, the children have watched some videos regarding deforestation, importance of trees and the impact on animals and plants. To say I was blown away by the crew work that happened during this session would be an understatement. All the crew gathered facts during the video and then consulted with each other to ensure they weren’t being repetitive with their facts. To see the children work so effortlessly as a crew was a pleasure.
