Crew Godley mathematicians have been busy comparing numbers and exploring the language ‘greater than, less than and equals too’. We’ve used our crocodile 🐊 hands to help us.

Fascinating Forces
We started the week researching different types of forces. We got hands on to demonstrate these to develop a deeper understanding before we are going to focus on these individually later on in the week.
We now can explain and demonstrate gravity, friction, water resistance and air resistance 🤩
Crew Boswell Challenge You!
Tuesday is our challenge crew and we had a tricky one this week.
It was called, Photo Finish. The aim? For the whole crew to cross a line together for a photo finish. We needed to focus on communication and coordination. Maybe you could try it over half term with your families for a unique family photo? Here’s how…
- Find a line.
- Work out how you’re going to cross the finish line at the same time.
- Film your finish line and check to see if you have succeeded.
- For an added challenge, can you run across the line at the same time?
Here’s how we got on.
Independent comprehension in MI
We really challenged ourselves in reading today. We used the text well to answer different comprehension questions and ensured we had a positive attitude throughout, even when we found questions a little hard. Great resilience MI 🙂
Investigating gravity in MI
Today we looked at a Newton meter and measured the force acting on different objects. We worked collaboratively to do this and used the scale to read the amount of newtons.
Using our knowledge so far we then thought about what we could do to test gravity. This became our aim. This was what we wanted to find out. We then thought about what a hypothesis was and its purpose. We thought about how this would help our investigation. We then wrote our own hypothesis.
From here we took part in the investigation testing out our aim and hypothesis. You can see us in action below… We were all shocked by what we found out!
Crew Autumn Scavenger Hunt! 🍁
Exploring types of forces in MI
Today we started to explore and discuss forces in our expedition lessons. We watched a variety of different clips to understand what a force is and the different types. We then became active and showed both gravity and friction in different ways. We then used the knowledge we had gained to create our own anchor chart for our working wall on the different types of forces. We showed great collaborative working and supported our partner well.
Autumn Fun
Crew Godley had a wonderful time yesterday on their scavenger hunt collecting autumn treasures! We had a very colourful day!
Crew Ferguson Autumn scavenger hunt!
The children in nursery today were set a challenge to collect and see lots of objects linking to Autumn. We worked as a crew to collect leaves, twigs, conkers and feathers. We saw puddles, wriggly worms and even spiders webs! We had to be be kind to the animals and our woodland environment. The children loved exploring and wanted to bring everything they could see back inside to explore further.
