Crew Robson’s Christmas Reading Challenge

I have challenged all the children in Crew Robson to read 25 times before Christmas.

I will be checking book bags every Friday and children will update their bauble for every time they have read and had their reading record signed. If a child reads in school to an adult or accesses Chapter One this will also count towards their 25 reads.

Each child who achieves the 25 reads will receive a prize. They will also have their name put in the draw to win a box of Christmas goodies.

Happy Reading!

Experience Lesson – Little Red Riding Hood

We were so excited for our experience lesson today.

We began by making baskets to deliver our freshly baked cupcakes to grandmas house.

We then set off to walk through the woods towards grandmas house.


In the woods we spotted a scary looking wolf lurking in the trees!

Finally we made it to grandmas house but there was something different about her today!

Knight Training

Yesterday KS1 took part in knight training. To begin with we learnt about how knights left home at 7 years old to go to go and live in the castle. At 14 years old they became squires and eventually started their training a 21.

We tried out three activities; jousting through rings, flag toss and shooting bows and arrows.

Becoming Gardners

Today we became Gardners for our fifth castle job. We learnt about how important Gardners were as they planted fruits and vegetables for the kings, queens, lords and ladies to eat at their banquets.

We planted our very own seeds and have taken them home to look after.
