In Crew Ramsay, we have been fulfilling our pledges in writing by accessing our ‘Support Station’ for the scaffolding we need. We all know what our areas for development are and what resources can support us whilst we become great. We even go and collect them before we start writing. Here we are, supporting ourselves to become our best! Check us out popping to the Support Station to collect our bits!
Today in Crew White, we loved our writing lesson. Firstly, we did some editing and improving with our new editing sheets. When we had finished improving our monologue about the Northern Tiger Cat, we typed up our work onto Google Docs. We have been working on the skills of figurative language, powerful adjectives, the power of three, repetition and rhetorical questions.
The HOWL that we needed to use for this was…Work Hard: I will have a positive attitude towards my learning.
Crew Ramsay have been working in groups with our new student teacher, Miss Bagworth to create poppy art for Remembrance Day. We had 2 minutes of silence to honour the fallen and we celebrated by making paper tissue poppies. Here we are getting crafty and talking about our ‘Be Kind’ HOWL for this significant event.
Crew Ramsay headed down to crew Barber to narrate our very own character-driven narratives to a real audience! We took so much pride in our work and loved performing as storytellers. Here we are in action…
In Maths this week, Crew Gray have been using manipulatives in different ways to support our learning. We have found them to be really helpful when working out Factors and Square numbers.
In year 3, 4 and 5/6 this week, we have been grappling with getting ourselves logged on to our Google accounts but then taking it one step further by joining our Google classroom. This is a tool that was used during lockdown so children could access learning online and submit it to their teacher. Being able to access Google classroom will allow children to develop their computing skills and complete some of their learning online. It also encourages children to remember their details especially their passwords. Some children were able to show their resilience and patience while we got everyone to the same point before moving on.
Crew Ramsay and Crew Mcloughlin have been buddying up for weeks now to share stories and bond over books! We absolutely love our quality time with our reading buddies. Here we are sharing stories.
Today, we acted out the story Little Red Riding Hood. We worked in groups to decide rolls, rehearse the story map and interact in character. We had so much fun and cannot wait to get writing the story next…
Crew Haddock loved making their remembrance work to show their respect for what people did to fight for our country. Then today they also showed their respect in doing a 2 minute silence for those who died at war.
Today, Crew Godley took time to reflect and remember those who have served and sacrificed in times of conflict. Through thoughtful discussions, art, and a special remembrance activity, the children explored the importance of respect, gratitude, and community. Our crew showed great empathy and understanding as they considered the significance of Remembrance Day, ensuring that the bravery and dedication of others are honoured and never forgotten.
