Case Study Reflections

Fabulous Fractions
Today in maths we began our first fractions unit. We used coloured paper to deepen our understanding of the denominator. We learnt that the bigger the denominator, the smaller the fraction.
TTRS Battle – Colclough vs Robson
Calling all rockstars!!
You have two weeks to answers as many questions as possible to ensure your crew is crowned champion.
Maya Artwork
Today we began to look at Maya artwork in preparation for creating our own sculptures.
We conducted a gallery walk to explore Maya artwork.
Then we looked at some Maya glyphs and chose our favourite to incorporate into our own artwork.
We copied them carefully ready for some peer critique next lesson.
Children’s Air Ambulance Visit
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!
Exploring Maya Jobs
Today in expedition we investigated the different jobs in a Maya village. There was lots to do and everyone played their part. At the end we decided which jobs we would have wanted to do if we had lived with the ancient Maya.
Reading for Pleasure
CrewRobson have really embraced the reading for pleasure time after lunch each day.
Multiplication Madness
Today we began to grapple with 2 digit x 1 digit multiplication. We recapped the use of the part whole model and used this to help multiply more manageable numbers. We had to show lots of courage to give it a go and there was lots of children offering to coach too. Well done CrewRobson!
Dr Diane, Maya Archeologist
Today we were very lucky to be able to talk to the UK’s only Maya archeologist.
Dr Diane, who lives in Wales, has spent 23 years studying the ancient Maya. She answered lots of our questions and even showed us some Maya artefacts.
We are all very excited begin our new expedition about the Maya and chocolate!
Chocolate Tasting
To hook into our new expedition we tried different types of chocolate. The children showed courage by trying new things even though some were very nervous!
