The start of road safety week…
This morning we had a great crew discussion about road safety. We talked about how to keep ourselves safe when we are out and about especially about focussing on what can distract us and drivers. We also talked about what we needed to wear, where best to cross the road and explored the green code code. Finally, we played a game at the end to put into practise what we had learnt. Lots of us got 7/7!
“Spotacular” – Children in Need in FS1
Today we ‘Dressed to Express!’ in Crew Dorman for Children in Need! We all looked fantastic!
We had a ‘Pudsey’ dance off! Played the game ‘Stop’ and ‘Go’ in the outdoor area and even made ‘Spotty Dotty Pudsey’ artwork to take home!
What an amazing day in Crew Dorman!
TTRS battle in KS2
Our timestable rockstar day ended with quite the battle! Crews battled against each other to gather points in the hope their crew would make it to the final! There was great encouragement by all and it was lovely to see the improvements in our timestable knowledge! A big well done to everyone that took part 🙂 A big shout out to Crew Boswell who made it to the final! And to the 2 children who beat Mrs Ibbotson!
Jaffa cake fractions
We have started our new unit on fractions this week so what better way to start than cutting Jaffa cakes into fractions and then getting to eat them?!? After we cut the Jaffa cakes we then used these to help find equivalent fractions. Yum!
Communication is key 🔑
In Scotty’s, the children continued to work on their communication. One partner was blind folded and directed to pick up cones. At the end the points were added together to see the winning team.
TTRS Battle
This week, we competed in another TTRS batter. Lovely to see the children dressed up as Rockstars.
Shadow Puppets 🖐️🦖🌲
Today, Crew Hamill had an amazing time continuing our learning about light in Science. We investigated how shadows change by creating our own shadow puppets, casting shadows against the wall with our torches. You can see some of the shapes we made in the pictures below.
What are shadows and how are they formed?
Today we learnt that shadows are formed when an opaque object blocks the light from the sun. Shadows are the shape of the object, are bigger than the object and shadows can be different sizes. When you move back the shadow gets bigger. We used a torch to see if we could create our own shadows around our classroom.
Anti-bullying week
This morning in crew, we looked at a story called ‘Topsy and Tim help a friend’. We paused the video to look at the different actions each character carried out and discussed whether they were kind choices, or unkind choices. Here were some of the things we talked about…
What were the unkind children doing?
They tripped the boy up! – Emma
Then they laughed at him when he fell down – Harlow
They threw his bag – Araya
They were bullying him! – Kingsley
Because they did lots of unkind things, not just one and it made it made him sad – Hilaryanna.
They tricked him! – Alyssa
What did Topsy and Tim do to help?
They told the grown ups – Elsie
Then the grown ups talked to all the children. The boy was kind then and he said sorry – Max
We learnt a lot about kind and unkind actions from this story!
