Sharing and critiquing our wonderful writing!

30th January 2026Megan Gray

In Crew Gray this week, we have been sharing our fantastic writing from our recounts of our Tudor banquet with one another. We shared two stars and a wonder for each others work, allowing us to edit and revise them, before we share them with Miss Ramsey our audience for this piece of writing.

Children’s Air Ambulance Visit

20th January 2026Nicola Robson

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!

UKS2 Celebration of Learning

9th January 2026Hannah McLoughlin

We were delighted to invite parents into school for our Art Exhibition, where children had the opportunity to proudly showcase their writing, art and DT (Design and Technology) skills. The hall was transformed into a gallery space, allowing families to walk around, admire the work and celebrate the creativity and effort that has gone into each piece.

The displayed work was beautifully framed to reflect our expeditionary learning, with a strong focus on understanding how we can help our planet survive. These frames helped bring together the children’s knowledge of sustainability, environmental responsibility and global care, giving real purpose and meaning to their creations.

The children were excited to talk confidently about their learning, explaining their ideas, techniques and the processes behind their work. From carefully crafted written pieces to imaginative artwork and thoughtfully designed DT projects, the gallery highlighted both creativity and skill development. It was wonderful to see the children take such pride in their achievements and to share this special experience with their families.

Art & DT Case Study

3rd December 2025Charlotte Newman

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!
