Today in Crew Welburn, we have been exploring place value to 100. We have looked at representing numbers to 100 using base ten, and partitioning numbers using our arrow cards to create addition facts! We are getting really confident now and can’t wait to apply our learning to our fluency and problem solving tasks!
What a fantastic (and tiring) day we have had at Bridlington. Firstly, we visited the interesting John Bull Confectioners sweet factory. We saw how hard sweets are made and even had the chance to create our own rock. This took a lot of perseverance and effort to be able to role and mould the rock. Throughout the tour, we were lucky enough to eat a variety of sweets, chocolate and biscuits made within the factory. We even wanted to eat our rock that we had made.
After lunch, we then went to the beach. We loved our time playing with our friends on the glorious sand, under the beautiful sun. Although it was windy, it did not stop us having fun. After burning off a load of energy, we were treated to a delicious ice lolly, which helped us cool down. We would not have been able to have this, had we not raised an amazing amount of money from our cake sale a couple of months ago.
Check out the video below of our day in Brid!
Today we continued our work on our DT case study. We thought about the different food groups and how each food group helps and supports our bodies. We thought about what makes a balanced diet, varied diet and unbalanced diet. We worked in mini crews to complete a quiz then thought about different menus and which food groups were in each. We then thought about if each menu was balanced or unbalanced. Finally, we ordered each menu from the most healthy to the least healthy giving reasons for our views. Some great discussions going on in MI today. Lots of great work linking to our work hard howl especially around active participation. We also helped each other to be successful by working collaboratively which linked nicely to our get smart. Keep it up MI!
Just a reminder that sponsor form money is due in tomorrow (Tuesday 27th June), however if forgotten we can collect it up until Thursday 29th June, so it gives enough time to be counted and organised.
Please leave it at the office or send it in with your child.
Thank you

Throughout case study 2 science we have been given time to reflect and answer our guiding question ’How can a healthy lifestyle impact your body and mind?’ Through answering this we used our writing skills and wrote a science report. Check out all of Crew Mc’s beautiful work below… we even gave critique focusing on our beautiful presentation and gave out prizes for the top 3 designs. We just need to respond to writing feedback and work with our peers to revise our writing to ensure Y6 quality.
Crew Longley and Crew Godley have been working hard to perfect their line drawings of our school for our final product. We have developed our sketching skills, including shadow, tone and texture.
We have used our guiding question to create a double spread report… here’s some beautiful work!
As part of our DT case study, we have been discussing bacteria and how this can have a negative effect on our bodies. We have highlighted the need for washing our hands and why this is essential to keep those germs under control.
We have conducted an experiment which we will observe over the next few weeks. This is where we have rubbed bread over a range of services to see where the most germs are. To help us make a comparison, we have ensured one slice of bread was handled by someone who had washed their hands and used hand sanitiser. Watch this space…
In expedition today, we learnt about the importance of hygiene when preparing food and the risks that we need to be aware of in the kitchen. As well as learning about where to store food in a fridge, we also looked at different types of bacteria and how they can spread and harm us. Our main focus though was looking at the cleanliness of everyday surfaces through an investigation. We rubbed some bread on a range of surfaces (as well as setting up a control, thanks Bobby) and sealed them in a bag to observe changes over time. As we made our predictions, we thought it only fair that you made yours too. Click on the link below to let us know which surface you think is the dirtiest!
Today, some of our Year 1 and Year 2 children have took part in a rounders tournament at Campsmount School. The children showed how well Carcroft School work as a team, and were cheering each other on throughout the afternoon. Their crew building and communication skills really shone through today and made myself and Mrs Scott feel really proud of them! 😁 We can’t wait to try again next year after a little bit more practice as we think the team will be amazing! 🌟
