Expedition

28th April 2023Catherine Flaherty

The children in Crew FE used modelling clay to create the composition of the Earth. As a crew we discussed the layers of the Earth and how they are different. Some children even asked questions to further their own knowledge which was wonderful, such as: Is the Earth’s core hotter than the sun?

Magic Mathematicians

Crew Godley have been working hard in magic maths on one more and less, whilst also perfecting their number recognition and formation. We’ve worked so hard to ensure we are really listening to the quick fire questions. It was lovely to see the children collaborate and check each others understanding 🔢

Cricket skills

PE this week has involved children continuing to practice their throwing skills for cricket. They had a new coach this week so it was lovely to see them full engaged in the activity.

Miners working conditions

Today, we have had the opportunity to learn more about the conditions working in the mines which are extremely unpleasant.

Children worked in pairs to read a number of sources before having to retrieve the important information. They were able to find the conditions in the mines but also the detrimental effects these had on people’s health conditions.

When we had collected the information, we have collated it into an anchor chart for the working wall.

Jobs in the mines

During our second expedition lesson, the children learned about some of the job roles from the mines. They were then challenged to read the information and act out the job. The rest of the crew had to guess the role based on the actions. Well done to everyone for getting involved and performing to the rest of the crew.
