Trip to Langsett Reservoir

4th September 2023Emily Ibbotson

Year 5 and 6 had a great trip to Langsett Reservoir to begin to establish a strong crew where the children can be themselves and develop their teamwork skills in a caring and safe environment. We worked together to answer our crew guiding question was ‘How can we get everyone to the top of the mountain?‘ The answer was simple… work together, support one another, enjoy exploring, share the load and plenty of chocolate biscuits. We had a fantastic day (even the sun came out) and it was a pleasure to see the children enjoying themselves and truly becoming a crew that we know that will go from strength to strength as the year progresses… watch this space. Well done everyone!

Knucklebones!

4th September 2023Kate Thompson

As part of hook week, this afternoon we made some knucklebones. We moulded clay into small pieces and shaped them to resemble knucklebones. Then, we came up with some rules on how to play knucklebones. We are super excited to play the knucklebone game tomorrow!

Roman soldiers handbook 📖

4th September 2023Kate Thompson

This morning in our reading lesson, we started looking at a new book. First, we completed a jigsaw of the front cover and picked out the title and author. We then discussed the audience, purpose and text type of the book. I was blown away with the children’s knowledge about how we know if a book is non-fiction! We can’t wait to start reading this book and learn lots of facts about what it takes to become a Roman soldier!

Maths!

Today we started our place value unit with a practical maths lesson. We used base 10 to represent numbers to 100. It was great to see how much the children knew about tens and ones!

A day in the life of a baker 👩‍🍳 🍞

4th September 2023Laura Godley

In KS1 we are answering the guiding question, What will I do to be a hero in our community? To begin our expedition we are exploring firefighters 🚒 a very brave hero!

To hook us into our new writing we looked into our new book – Vlad and the Great Fire of London. We pieced together the book front cover, predicted what might happen and then became bakers for the morning, experiencing how Vlad and Boxton would have felt in the bakers shop. We baked and tasted some delicious bread 🥖

Our first week as Crew MW! ✨

3rd September 2023Sarah Mcglone

It’s been a fun-filled first week back in Crew MW. We have been extremely busy exploring our new learning environment, working together in provision and catching up after our summer holidays. We have particularly enjoyed playing in the home corner, listening to stories on the Yoto player, and getting our groove on in the music area!
