Crew Farrow have been working really hard in their writing. Remembering capital letters, full stops and finger spaces – as well as using the handwriting lines to ensure beautiful presentation!

Writing
This term, we are starting our new writing topic based on Jack and the Beanstalk. The children discussed what Jack needed to reach the giant’s castle and learned that he used a beanstalk to climb there. To link with the story, they have started planting beans and will be observing their growth and progress over time.
Practicing our fast running!
With the field marked out into lanes, we decided to practise how fast we could run while also learning the importance of staying in our own lane. The children showed good listening skills, waiting to start until they heard “GO!”. There was some fantastic running and listening throughout the activity. We’ve enjoyed the nice weather over the past few days, burning off some energy.
Have a lovely half term 🙂
Cricket Tournament Success!
Huge congratulations to our year 5 and 6 children who brilliantly represented the school at the recent cricket tournament. They all showed fantastic teamwork and sportsmanship!
A special shout-out goes to our year 5/6 girls’ team for an incredible performance bringing home 2nd place ! We are incredibly proud of you all. Well done!
We are writers in Crew White
At the same time as preparing for the rigorous SATs assessments in reading and maths, us Year 6s have been busy producing some high-quality writing. We are currently at our final stage of the writing process, which is publishing our writing. We’ve read suspense stories, planned them, written them, edited and now we are almost ready to present our beautiful work!
After taking inspiration from the short film, ‘Francis’, we wrote sequels. When complete, these will be displayed in Crew White so be sure to pop in to have a look!
Festival of Sports
Thank you to those families that were able to attend our fun, albeit damp and drizzly, Festival of Sports yesterday afternoon. The final sporting afternoon for our Year 6s was filled with obstacle races, sprinting and the obligatory egg and spoon race!
Science Investigation: Exercise and Heart Rate
In Crew White, we’ve been investigating the effects of exercise on the heart. We completed a full science investigation including prediction, method, results, presenting results and a conclusion. We chose which two exercises we would do, with the second being more intense than the first. We measured our pulse rates and then wrote up our investigation.
Crew White Science Investigation
Today, Crew White began an investigation into the affects of exercise on heart rate and the time it takes the heart to recover after exercise. We made predictions, wrote a method and then went outside to test our hearts. We completed moderately intense exercise followed by intense exercise and had recovery breaks in between and afterwards. We took our pulse rate at different times to check how our heart was coping with the increased workload.
Next week, we will present our findings and write up our conclusions.
