Today we have learnt about the different types of plants and explored their characteristics.
We then dissected a flowering plant and labelled the parts of a flower 🌸

Look at our final pieces of artwork! 🧑🎨🎨
We have spent a lot of time practising using charcoal and this afternoon we applied that to our artwork!
5th draft with charcoal
Today we completed our 5th draft using charcoal to perfect our technique before doing it on our final product. However this time we used the technique to draw London houses. We are definitely getting good at charcoal in Crew Marsh!
Why is a firefighter a hero in our community?🚒🧯
Inverse maths in Crew MI
We have been working really hard to understand out fact families and how addition and subtraction are the inverse of each other. We used our special whiteboard to help us to understand the relationship between numbers. Finally we even played a game and created our own fact families.
Year 1 music – using untuned percussion instruments to keep the rhythm 🥁 🎶
In Year 1, we have added untuned percussion instruments to the song we have been learning ‘The Menu Song’. We listened carefully to instructions and found the beat to the song and first showed this by clapping our hands in time. We then moved on to finding the beat with the percussion instruments, and we even pushed ourselves to try singing at the same time! It was tricky, but we are already looking forward to practising again next week and getting even better! ✨
Year 2 music – playing the tune to Tony Chestnut on the glockenspiel 🎼 🎶
Today we have taken our song ‘Tony Chestnut’ and looked at how to play a call and response melody on the glockenspiel. We made sure that we knew the sequence of the notes we needed to play and practised repeatedly. Miss McGlone started the piece by playing the ‘call’ part of the melody and we then played the ‘response’ part as a crew. We showed great resilience when practising to perform together and gave critique on what we did well and what we needed to do better next time. The end product sounded amazing and we can’t wait to get even better next week and add in singing whilst we are playing too! ✨
