Polar Bear Reading Challenge 🐻‍❄️

12th January 2024Laura Hamill

Crew Hamill have been set a brand new reading challenge!! Each member of our crew has their own polar bear that they need to try and save from sinking on the disappearing iceberg 🧊 Every time they read at home, their polar bear takes one footstep closer to the safety of shore! The first person to the safe iceberg wins a prize! And every polar bear that doesn’t suffer the dreadful fate of many polar bears by making it onto a paw print will also be rewarded! 🐻‍❄️🧊🎁 Who will be first to the top?! 👀

Polar Bear Art 🐻‍❄️🖼️

10th January 2024Laura Hamill

Following our litter picking yesterday, Crew Hamill recycled the litter we collected and created some polar bear art! We created a giant polar bear out of the cleanest bits of litter we could find!

Whilst this was being completed, we also created mini polar bear collages using two different types of paper. Look at the cute polar bears we created – we were even able to add one to our display to join our larger polar bear!

French – Crew Hamill, Crew Thompson and Crew Mcloughlin 🇫🇷🖼🎄

6th January 2024Sarah Mcglone

We have used our French knowledge of shape, colour and size to complete a number of different activities to help to embed our learning.

Colour splat – Who can splat the correct colour in the fastest time?

Listen carefully – Who can identify the correct colour and hold up the corresponding block? Can you listen to the sequence and create the matching tower?

Shape matching – Who can identify the correct shape AND the correct colour? Can you work as a team to be the quickest team to do this correctly?

Christmas craft – Using the shapes and colours we have looked at, can you create a Christmas image? Could you describe the shapes you used to create your image in French?

Artist Critique 🎨👨🏻‍🎨

13th December 2023Laura Hamill

Crew Hamill have continued with their art work this week, creating a second draft based on peer critique. We looked at our first drafts and gave our peers a praise, notice and wonder for them. We then used these to begin our second draft, ensuring we responded to our critique to make improvements.
