Girls football tournament! ⚽️
Luckily, the weather turned around after a soggy start this morning an we were able to play our long awaited football tournament. With some new players starting today, it was a great showcase of enjoyment and pride. The girls really loved the games that they played, all smiled (even after late tackles) and encouraged each other to be their best. It was a joy to watch.
Our Year 3/4 team played their first game together and managed to finish third, which we are so proud of. This was the first time for a number of them playing a football game today. There were so many great performances, but Daisy was like a hoover in defence, vacuuming up any dangerous passes. She takes the player of the tournament for Year 3/4.
For our Year 5/6 team, some of the girls had played previously, but there were some new starters. As the tournament champions, they have also made us feel really proud. With lots of great displays all over the pitch, the girls managed to win all of their games, against some tough opposition. Madi takes the player of the tournament, with some great tackles in midfield.
We can’t wait for more tournaments in the future!
Scotty’s Heroes
Due to the rain, Scotty’s heroes took place inside however, that doesn’t mean their survival skills weren’t put to the challenge. Unfortunately, the children were stranded at sea on a dingy (fitting for the weather today) and they had to chose which items were important and why. There was a range of different items chosen but children were able to explain why they thought it was more important than other items.
MI start case study 3
Today we started case study 3. We thought about what we already know about coding and created a KWL grid. We then discussed what coding is and watched a clip on binary, building background knowledge. After, we used an alphabet chart to build our name in binary!
We then watched another clip to find out what coding actually is. We added our findings to our KWL grid. The next clip proved how much our lives depend on coding! Finally we worked collaboratively to create a group code, we had to ensure our instructions were clear and could be followed. We then thought about the guiding question and how coding helps movement in our world.

Critique in MI
During expedition we read the feedback from our independent writing then made further edits and improvements to our work. We then allowed our partner to read our work and they offered further critique before we made our final improvements. Some fantastic pieces of writing!
LKS2 Writing! 📝
LKS2 have worked really hard writing their biographies about local people. It has been great to see the children writing with such focus, working really hard on their beautiful work. The children have blown us away with the knowledge they have gained from our experts.
This week in Crew MC! Narrated by Max, Millie, Ellie, Lottie and Kacey
Monday
Today was very very busy, it was the first day of assessments ( which is where we take tests). We were a bit fussy due to been out of our normal routine but we didn’t let that affect our learning. We turned it around with our writing, we planned and chotted our chunk about mechanisms for our non-chronological report. Miss kept our energy levels up with some of our favourite biscuits😋 Well done everyone for trying so hard today!
Tuesday
Today we started redrafting our double page spreads (non-chronological reports) by making our title and introduction. Keep your eyes peeled for these at our expo! Next, we did our reading assessment; miss is getting us ready for our SATS. We had a wet break including extra break! We ended the day with handwriting then had crew and went home. We definitely needed some rest!
Wednesday
Today we enjoyed playing on the guitars and listening to different songs. Well done everyone for having a go at Scotty’s Heroes, it was so fun. Wow…how hard was arithmetic? Get ready for Thursdays test.
Thursday
Today we went into our groups to do two tests- reasoning and arithmetic. We then started our case study 2 reflection, recapping our learning journey. We then made a start on reading our new text, which was very engaging. It was called ’First Woman in Space’.
Friday
Today we did celebration crew and then our reasoning test, well done everybody for working so hard! Then we did a Joe Wicks workout because we were sat down for so long and it was super fun ! After, we did our double page spread for expedition and we are almost finished. After dinner, we then finally finished our double page spreads and ended the day in crew. We appreciated each other (adults and children) for being so positive and working so hard this week. Bring on Monday !
Check out our beautiful writing, we are so proud of ourselves
