LKS2 Experience Day (23.11.21)

Today in LKS2, we have been completing our Experience Day. Together, we worked in small groups to provide key information about the first three chapters of our new book ‘Running on the Roof of the World’. The children were read to and then shared summaries of their chapter, which will help us with our writing over the next few weeks! Check out the photos below!

 

Maths masters ➗

This week we have been showing great perseverance by solving long division with the coin method. Some children even coached to help everyone in Crew to get smart! Teamwork makes the dream work🤩

Crew Gerrard Expedition (17.11.21)

What a great Expedition lesson we had this afternoon, as we continued to learn about human and physical features as part of Case Study 2: Geography. We looked at London to see how it differed from Kabul, Afghanistan (in our previous lesson). We used maps and images of London to see what features we could spot.

I was really pleased with the hard work I saw and how calmly we participated with popcorn and think pair share, during our active lesson. Keep up the good work Crew Gerrard! 😆

Crew Mcloughlin Scientists

As part of our expeditionary learning this week, we learnt about dissolving and the science behind it ⚗️👨🏻‍🔬👩🏻‍🔬We learnt lots of scientific keywords 🧠 If a soluble solute (like coffee) is added to a solvent (like H2o) it will dissolve and create a solution, however if a solute is insoluble, like sand, it will create a mixture. We even went further to experiment different conditions with the rate a solute would dissolve at. We found hot water and movement was the best condition to dissolve the coffee the fastest. Crew Mcloughlins classroom certainly smelled lovely after this experiment ☕️

In Crew Lucas thought it would be very fitting to play ‘the soldier’ as today is remembrance day. Thank you for showing off your talents Lucas, crew loved it! 👏🏼

Maths week in Crew Mcloughlin

Today we were super engaged in our PE lesson and loved every minute! 🏀✖️➗Coach had planned numerous maths problems for us to solve as a crew and set up PE activities for us to work through in order to complete our tasks! We were challenged with number problems to solve, used our maths skills to solve them, and had various physical activities to complete.🧠🏃‍♀️We worked really hard to solve these and got smart in the process.

Maths v’s PE!

Today 2we had a super fun PE lesson! Coach Luke had planned lots of maths problems for us to solve as crews and set up PE activities for us to work through in order to complete our tasks! We were given a number problem to solve, used our maths skills to solve it, bounced the basketball to the hoop, scored, and then we had to find the answer to our problem on the envelope to get the next clue. We worked really hard to solve these and got really smart!

Crew MI Maths

Today the children got to complete more active maths activities. Children took part in the activities they didn’t complete yesterday. Some visited Crew MI’s money shop and some completed a series of activities in the hall.

Here children are throwing tennis balls into place value boxes then working out the number. Children also worked on their recall of times tables as well as mental addition and subtraction.

We look forward to more activities tomorrow!
