TTRS Battle – Colclough vs Robson
Category : Crew Colclough 25/26
Children’s Air Ambulance Visit
Today we were very lucky to have a visit from volunteers Sandy and Trevor from the Children’s Air Ambulance. They shared lots of facts about how the air ambulance works and how their missions save the lives of children and babies who need urgent care. Did you know it costs £5500 each time the ambulance is launched!
Editing!
In Year 4, pupils have been working really hard to edit their writing during ‘Fix It’ sessions. We have been using the acronym CUPS to support with the process. Well done Crew Colclough!
Dr Diane, Maya Archeologist
Today we were very lucky to be able to talk to the UK’s only Maya archeologist.
Dr Diane, who lives in Wales, has spent 23 years studying the ancient Maya. She answered lots of our questions and even showed us some Maya artefacts.
We are all very excited begin our new expedition about the Maya and chocolate!
Expedition Hook
In Crew Colclough, we have participated in a chocolate tasting master class. Pupils were given three different types of chocolate to taste. They used their senses to describe. We are excited to start our new expedition ‘From Bean to Bar’.
Experience Day
In Crew Colclough, we have completed our experience day to engage us in our new writing unit. We tasted red beans, maize and corn tortillas. The Ancient Maya diet consisted mainly of these foods. Crew Colclough demonstrated courage by trying new foods. We also created our own Mayan masks and explored why they were used.
Sharing our Final Product
Year 3 and 4 enjoyed sharing their final product with children across school. We had some amazing feedback from year 5 and 6 who enjoyed completing the activity sheet.
Year 4 Writing!
Today in writing, Year 4 have been publishing their letters to Marcus at Murton Park. By the end of the day, they will be sealed and ready to send. We have worked so hard ensuring that we keep our letters formal. Well done for some great writing Crew Colclough!
LKS2 Christmas Treat!
As a Christmas treat, LKS2 stayed late at school for a Christmas movie night. They brought in their Christmas pyjamas, cuddly toys, pillows and blankets. Teachers also prepared popcorn and hot chocolates for pupils to enjoy whilst watching the film. We hope you all had a lovely time!
Dental Aid Visit
We were lucky to have a visit from Dental Aid today where we learned about keeping our teeth healthy.
The children asked lots of good and insightful questions.
