LKS2 children loved the sun shine today and here is what we’ve been up to.
Sunny break
Category : Crew Hamill Y3/4 (23/24)
Boombox Fun
Miss Marsh has treated LKS2 to their own boombox which allows us to listen to music during our break times! We certainly made the most of the sunshine this morning when we danced and sang to some of our favourite songs! Shout out to Sharni-Mae for her beautiful karaoke skills!
Reading Challenge Golden Ticket Winners
A HUGE shoutout to Luke and Zach who earned themselves a golden ticket in our reading challenge from this term. Each of them has read every single day at home to move up on our challenge board. They even started to overlap some of the other children in crew showing just how much they have read! I am so proud of your enthusiasm with this challenge boys and I praise your efforts in making sure you have read at home every night. I hope you love your prizes!
Transition Day – Crew Hamill
I had so much fun meeting my new crew on transition day! We had lots of fun taking part in team building games and I challenged them with a few activities that would give me an insight into where they are at with their writing and maths. I’m excited to get started properly next academic year!
DT – Baking
Crew Hamill are working hard in DT lessons, learning everything they need to be able to cook and bake Mayan dishes ready for their presentation of learning. We started with our dessert – cupcakes! We’ve had a practice run at following the instructions and using the right amount of ingredients to create some vanilla cupcakes topped with buttercream!
Sports Day – Red Group
Some amazing sportsmanship from our red team in sports day this year! I was very impressed with their determination!
Scotty’s – Fire Building
We extended our fire building skills in Scotty’s this week by building a safety wall to protect our fires from the wind. We then had another go at keeping our fires burning. One group were extremely successful in building theirs and even created some smoke! Well done to Zach who earned our Scotty’s Hero for his excellent recall of what a fire needs to survive!
Becky Green – Sports Week
We loved kicking off sports week by having Becky Green come into school and do a fitness session with us!
Demo Comp – Non-Fiction
We’ve really enjoyed our non-fiction focus in our reading lessons this week and have been able to dive deeper into the world of the Mayans by working on some retrieval and vocabulary questions based on the text we have been reading: What happened to the Maya? We’ve recapped the key skills needed to answer this question type and will apply these in our independent written comp.
Becky Green – an inspiration!
What a fantastic way to kick start our sport week with a GB Freestyler Kayaker! Becky Green inspired children this morning with her passion for kayaking, at such a young age she has achieved so much! Our children practised some key skills and exercises to get their bodies moving.
