Today in Crew Welburn, we’ve had a focus on collecting adjectives for our writing. We are writing a description about our local area, so we took a walk to the park to listen to the sounds we could hear, and to describe what we could see. We wrote down loads of ideas and can’t wait to get writing tomorrow!

Collaborative Maths (10.5.22)🔢#️⃣
What a lovely lesson of maths we had today and so many fantastic “teachers” on show! We were practicing how to find fraction of amounts. Today was trickier than yesterday because we had to follow two steps. Divide by the denominator and multiply by the numerator.
We worked together to be able to help each other get smarter! The kindness on show and willingness to help each other was amazing to see. We certainly demonstrated our HoWLs today! The little “teachers” are now making me worried for my job!
Collaborative working in MI
Today we continued with our history work where we researched different illnesses as mini crews. We all worked collaboratively thinking about the two rubrics we had just discussed, this made us think more about team work and listening to others. After we had gathered our information we worked together thinking about how we would present our findings to the rest of the crew. Again we thought about our rubric and how we can engage an audience. We all presented extremely well, everyone participated and everyone listened well when the other groups shared their work. Finally, we applied our knowledge to a written task, here we showed all the learning we had just done.
Shin pads
I lent out shin pads to children in our last football tournament that we competed in a few months ago. If you have a pair at home please can you send them back to school as they are needed for our next tournament.
Thank you

Slavery Source Investigation (4.5.22) 🕵️🕵️♂️
Today, LKS2 have been critiquing different historical sources from the past. The children looked at primary sources that Slave Traders used to sell and promote the sale of slaves right through to drawings of slave ships and human cargo. We also investigated a range of secondary sources, looking at artistic representations in slavery. We compared what it was like for African and Chinese slaves, discussing what was similar and different.
The insights were interesting and there was a buzz of discussions as we noticed, inferred and even wondered what was happening. This was a great lesson full of fantastic discussions about slavery through these valuable sources. This is helping us to understand Why sugar is not so sweet!
Reading in Crew Gerrard 📚(4.5.22)
Crew Gerrard enjoyed a trip to the library where we updated our books and had a read of them in the cosy room. It was great fun seeing how relaxed Crew Gerrard were and the enjoyment they had reading their books! We can’t wait to keep going!
Football rounders

Rounders in PE
Getting our heart rates up in rounders this afternoon!
LKS2 Biscuit Tasting
LKS2 had a very fun lesson where they were taste testing different biscuits. The aim was to think about what types of flavours and textures we liked the most, evaluating whether we would eat them again or not and the rating out of 10. We put to test 5 different biscuits – garibaldi, custard cream, shortcake, Bourbon and malted milk. It’s fair to say there was a mix of opinions, but most loved custard creams the most. Years 3 and 4 loved sharing their opinions and debating why some biscuits were better than others.
We will now collate our data for each Crew and put them into a bar graph. Our charts will show the favourite biscuit of Crew Marsh, Flaherty and Gerrard.
