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 🔢
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.
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.
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.
Crew McLoughlin and Crew Boswell enjoyed todays P.E lesson with Coach Dawid and have been practicing bowling skills for cricket.
Year 6 really enjoyed their P.E session today with the new coach
As part of our current Expedition, Earth Shattering Events, we looked at the different layers of soil. We made our own soil showing the organic matter, topsoil, subsoil and bedrock using different biscuits.
KS1 have loved attending the dodgeball tournament today. They were a credit to the school and worked their socks off… I am sure they will sleep well tonight.
