This Week’s Academic Crew
This week in Academic Crew, Crew McLoughlin took part in a lively Fraction Kahoot challenge to refresh their understanding of fractions, equivalent values, and mixed numbers. It was a fantastic way to revisit key math concepts in a fun and interactive setting, and we were so proud to see everyone showing focus, enthusiasm, and a positive attitude throughout the challenge!
Crew Challenge
Last week in crew they did the cup challenge. They had an elastic band with string tied to it. The children had to pull on the string to stretch the elastic band and put it over a cup. They did this with each cup to make a pyramid.
Roald Dahl Day
Crew Ramsay have been working in mini crews on their tables, carefully using fine motor skills to create a green paper chain to resemble a crocodile from the linked text “The Enormous Crocodile”. They challenged themselves to see who could create the longest one. Table 2 came out in first place, however, in true crew style we decided to make one enormous crocodile by adding everyone’s together and created a “crew crocodile”.
UKS2 Online Safety Visit
Today, Upper Key Stage 2 received a visit from an officer with South Yorkshire Police to learn all about online safety. Lots of us were surprised to find out that a lot of the apps we use each day (Snapchat, Whatsapp, Facebook etc.) actually have an age limit of 13 years old!! This means that we shouldn’t actually be using them yet. We also learned all about the ways in which we can stay safe online – not sharing passwords or personal information, never talking to people we don’t know and sharing any concerns we have with trusted adults.
Crew Challenge
Today in crew we had to use cocktail sticks and marshmallows to make a 3d shape. Here’s how we got on
Crazy Crew Challenge
Today, Crew McLoughlin took on a fun and creative crew challenge! Each table was tasked with drawing a house – but there was a twist. The pen was tied to several pieces of string, and the only way to guide it was by working together, holding and pulling the strings. No one was allowed to touch the pen directly!
The challenge sparked plenty of laughter, teamwork, and problem-solving as everyone figured out how to control the pen and bring their house drawings to life.

Crew challenges in Crew Gray
Over the past few weeks in Crew Gray, we have been working together to take on a series of crew challenges. These activities have helped us build important skills like teamwork, communication, and problem-solving. One of our favourite challenges involved giving clear instructions to our partner to help them recreate a drawing — without showing them the original! We quickly learned that using precise language and listening carefully made a big difference. By working together and communicating well, we were able to complete the task successfully!
