It was great seeing Crew Shields text marking this morning and highlighting the vocabulary that they were unsure of. They know how important it is to understand the vocabulary in the text as this supports their comprehension.

UKS2 Netball tournament washout! 🌧🌊
Unfortunately, UKS2 were not able to complete their netball tournament. After 1 and a half games, the heavens opened and soaked us to our bones. The tournament was then cancelled.
Despite this, we were so excited to get playing and give it our very best, in a sport where our experience is limited. Even though we only played for a few moments, we learned quickly how to play effective netball. Finding space, speedy passes and using team work to score a goal.
Sadly, we will have to wait before we can play anymore games in a netball tournament. Check out our photos, including our Mrs Rhodes brolly photo. It wouldn’t be a tournament without us being huddled under the brolly!
Phonics workshop follow up
Thank you to all of the parents who made it to the phonics workshop today – it was lovely to see so many of you! Here’s the video to support how to say the sounds to support your children at home. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to speak to me ☺️
Keeping our school community clean
A great job by Crew Shields this afternoon as they supported the rest of the crews with keeping our school community clean and safe.
They had a short time outside but managed to fill a couple of bags with rubbish. The most fascinating thing found was some small bones so only naturally they had to have a picture taken with it.
Scotty’s Heroes
During Scotty’s heroes today, the children were challenged to complete an assault course while blindfolded. They had to work in pairs so they could guide each other through safely. This required clear and precise instructions not only to get through the course but to keep each other safe. Some great instructions and collaboration. Well done Crew Shields.

Figuring out Fractions in Crew Boswell
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!
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.
