Publishing our stories!

Crew Colclough have been working incredibly hard on writing their own versions of ‘The Journey Home’. They have changed the characters to other endangered animals and were able to explain why those animals had to leave their habitat. We are now publishing our final drafts and creating our own books. Pupils are so excited to share their stories and the beautiful work they have produced.

Exploring atlases and globes

This morning in year 4, we have explored how to use globes and atlases in our expedition lesson. We learnt how to look for different continents using the contents page of an atlas, how to use the index to find more specific information such as countries, towns and cities, and how to find continents and countries on a globe. We then compared the differences between globes and atlases, and found that atlases are easier to use as they give you more support in finding specific information.

Decomposition, coding and debugging

Today in Crew Colclough, we have been learning about decomposition in computing. We’ve learnt how this means breaking a big task down into smaller chunks to make it more manageable. We demonstrated our understanding through turning our brains into computers and breaking big tasks down into smaller tasks to make them more manageable and to solve the problems that we have been set.

LKS2 Sleepover

The Year 3 and Year 4 sleepover was an absolute whirlwind of excitement from start to finish. The evening kicked off with a high-energy pizza party and a thrilling session of glow-in-the-dark dodgeball that turned the hall into a neon battlefield. After the adrenaline settled, the children put their thinking caps on for a series of competitive quizzes before winding down with a cozy film marathon. Following a night of (mostly) sleeping, the fun continued into the next day with a morning of games, leaving everyone exhausted but buzzing with fantastic memories.
