This week we’re continuing our work with fractions. It’s great seeing everyone working hard to get smart but the standout praise is for how well we support each other if we’re struggling!
Figuring out Fractions in Crew Boswell
Category : Curriculum
Evaluating catapults
Today we evaluated how far a counter could go using the catapults we made yesterday. We used our counting skills and a ruler to help measure.
Focussed writing in MI
Today we continued to plan and write our non chronological report. Today we finished off our gravity section and started to think about the facts we wanted in our fact boxes. We are looking forward to adding the work we have produced to our A3 spread.
Super mathematicians in Y1
Today we discovered if we work hard then it makes us feel so proud of ourselves. Today in maths I was so proud of our little crew 😊 We introduced addition and how we can use the part, whole, model to support this. obviously, working with smarties helped a lot 😋 The children blew me away with their language around addition, we’d remembered so much already after exploring this briefly last half term.
Celebration of Learning KS1
Let’s Build!!
The children celebrated their learning with their parents, explaining to their grownups ‘What lies within the castle walls’.
During the celebration of learning we set our grown ups a challenge! To create a catapult which fired the furthest, it was so much fun working together! Alissia and her Dad built an amazing catapult which used some incredible power to launch her boulder all the way across the playground!
Multistep Maths
Oh the brains in Crew Shields were tested this morning. We have finished up our addition and subtraction unit with multistep problems. This is an area that children can find tricky as there is more to think about to ensure they arrive at the correct answer. It was great seeing them get stuck in and challenge themselves. Good job everyone!
A busy day in MI
We started our day with our caring curriculum in Crew. Here we thought about friendship and what makes a good friendship.
We also made a start on our non chronological reports in writing and started to think about our gravity sections. We thought about the subheading and built our sentences using our gold and green targets. Tomorrow we will finish our chunk 2 then edit and improve our work. We are also looking forward to building an interesting fact box which we hope will engage our reader further.
In maths we thought about mixed numbers and improper fractions and converted between both. We built an anchor chart together before applying to our books. We then looked at subtracting fractions!
Some great work in MI today! 🙂
Crew Gerrard Litter Picking! ♻️✅
It is fair to say that Crew Gerrard were absolutely buzzing with the litter picking this afternoon and thoroughly loved it. It was great seeing so much enjoyment, Crew work and effort in making sure our playground is treated well. They were truly kind and want to make sure that it looks beautiful! What a fantastic effort guys! 😆
Stewardship in KS1
As a School we have noticed that there is a lot of litter on our school site, this is not being kind to our environment and we believe something needs to be done about it!
KS1 went out with Titch to help make our site look beautiful and pick the litter up in outdoor crew sessions.
LKS2 PE! ⚽️
LKS2 have started their new PE unit: Dodgeball. We learnt the different rules and how we need to work together as a team. There was some excellent teamwork, along with healthy competition, showing a real sense of crew. Well done!
LKS2 also had a mini-football tournament to finish off their unit of football. The ball control, dribbling and skills were fantastic. Even better, there was so much communication to be heard and smiles as they enjoyed playing their game of football.
