Crew Shields – 6/11/21

6th November 2021Ruth Shields

It was so lovely welcoming the children back to our new classroom. We have spent the week settling into our new classroom and ack into our routines and structures. I know I miss the routines during the holidays.

We started our next case study for our expedition and have enjoyed the opportunity of completing some science experiments. The children have learned the process of evaporation and condensation before exploring soluble and insoluble materials.

In writing, we have started our non chronological report which will be used for our final product. Despite the children finding this type of writing a bit tricky, they didn’t let this stop them. Their resilience was great and they worked hard.

We ended the week with our first Scotty’s Heroes session. The children had the opportunity to build A frame or lean to shelters. It was great seeing them work collaboratively and solve problems with their shelter.
Overall, a great first week back.
Hope everyone has had a safe Bonfire night.

Magical maths in Crew Welburn

16th September 2021A Welburn

Crew Welburn have spent the morning practicing their maths skills. We’ve been using manipulative objects to make numbers, to match objects to numbers and to order representations of numbers. Not only have we been working on our maths skills, but we’ve also been working in mini crews to build relationships, and to work on our sharing, listening and communication skills. We’ve had loads of fun and our HOWL scores were fantastic as a result!


Crew Longley Maths Week

9th May 2021Stuart Longley

Thank you for your support this week. We have worked really hard on our maths skills and had a little fun along the way!

I have loved seeing people measuring 100g, counting 100 and finding fractions.

We have been working on dividing and fractions this week. We have thought about numerators, denominators and finding unit and non-unit fractions.

On Friday, we took on our biggest challenge of the week. We were set the challenge of doubling the size of a crew mate. We had to. Work on our measurement and doubling skills.


We even found time for a little visitor, as a reward for meeting our HoWL ME’s.
