Multistep Maths

8th November 2022Ruth Shields

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

7th November 2022Stacey McClare

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! ♻️✅

3rd November 2022Simon Gerrard

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

3rd November 2022Laura Godley

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! ⚽️

3rd November 2022Simon Gerrard

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.

LKS2 Historians! 🕵️‍♂️🕵️

3rd November 2022Simon Gerrard

LKS2 have been learning about the roles of men and women during World War 2. This week, we have researched the different roles men had. The children learnt that men did many jobs; such as: working in industry, down the mines, for the police force, as a fire officer, as an ARP Warden and many many more. The children presented their information by making posters. They were so eager to show off all their new learning. 

Exploring our new text in reading

1st November 2022Stacey McClare

MI started to explore the front cover and blurb of our new text. We explored the layout thinking about what the text may be about. We then worked collaboratively in a vocabulary challenge where we matched words from the front cover to definitions. We then linked this back to our guiding question and expedition. We then made predictions based on the front cover thinking about what we may read about, the different sections in the book and linking our ideas to books with similar themes.

Young Voices 2023 – KS2 After School Club

Preparations for Young Voices will begin on Tuesday 1st November (3:00-4:00) for children in KS2. Please ensure that your child is signed up via ParentPay to secure their place. The club will be FREE to attend and further information about our Young Voices performance will be sent out in due course.
