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.
Walk to the North Pole
Crew McLoughlin and Crew Gray continued their steps for their sponsored walk today. Despite the drizzle our pupils were determined to reach their daily miles. Great team effort everyone, keep up the amazing work!
Art & DT Case Study
Yesterday, Crew Gray started their third and final case study for their rainforest expedition. We began with the exciting task of designing our own picture frames as a class. Then we shifted our focus to learning how to work safely with wood tools, exploring equipment such as vices, saws, and sanding blocks. We discussed responsible handling, protective gear, and how to support one another during practical activities. We can’t wait to see these designs come to life!
Character Traits
Yesterday, Crew Gray launched their character traits and learnt all about what makes a good person. The five character traits were courage, respect, integrity, compassion as well as craftsmanship and quality. Crew Gray explored what the different character traits look like and they pledged to how they are going to demonstrate courage this week.
Hula Hoop Crew Challenge
Today Crew Gray took part in the Hula Hoop Pass Challenge today. The goal was to pass the hoop all the way around without anyone letting go, which led to plenty of twisting, ducking, and creative moves. The crew laughed their way through the challenge and encouraged each other the whole time. By the end, Crew Gray had not only completed the task but strengthened their teamwork in the process.
Planting for the Future
Our pupils have been getting their hands muddy as part of our Woodland Trust tree-planting project! Together, we planted a range of native trees to help create new habitats for wildlife and make our school grounds greener for everyone to enjoy. This hands-on experience taught the children about caring for the environment and the importance of protecting our planet for future generations. We’re proud to be doing our part to help the UK grow more trees and tackle climate change, one sapling at a time!
Making arrays
In Maths this week, Crew Gray have been using manipulatives in different ways to support our learning. We have found them to be really helpful when working out Factors and Square numbers.
Getting up and running on Google Classroom
In year 3, 4 and 5/6 this week, we have been grappling with getting ourselves logged on to our Google accounts but then taking it one step further by joining our Google classroom. This is a tool that was used during lockdown so children could access learning online and submit it to their teacher. Being able to access Google classroom will allow children to develop their computing skills and complete some of their learning online. It also encourages children to remember their details especially their passwords. Some children were able to show their resilience and patience while we got everyone to the same point before moving on.
Music lessons in Crew Gray
