Today was Experience Day in our writing lesson, Crew McLoughlin practised their roleplaying skills through recreating scenes from The Lorax. Working in mini crews, everyone planned, rehearsed, and then performed their scenes for the class. There was plenty of creativity, teamwork and communication! Our crew particularly enjoyed guessing which scene each group was performing! This was a great way kick start our new writing unit.
In writing, Crew Gray have had their experience Day where they have immersed themselves in The Lorax. We watched the first part of the movie to familiarise ourselves with the story then we split into mini crews to do some roleplay. Each mini crew selected a scene, acted it out before performing to the rest of the class who guessed which scene they had. Massive well done to the children who pushed themselves out of their comfort zone and give it their best effort.
so today in life skills the children got to bake buns. They work hard all week looking at what ingredients they needed. Then they looked at Asda online and prices up how much it would cost.Followed by looking at what equipment was needed and to not forget to wash our hands and clean the table . We hope the staff enjoyed their bun.
Crew Rankin are loving their Reading Crew sessions on a Friday! We have been loving spending some time reading for enjoyment with the books we have been able to choose from our school library. Some of us have now finished our first books so have been to the library again today to change them for new ones!
Today in crew we had to use cocktail sticks and marshmallows to make a 3d shape. Here’s how we got on
This week in Crew Rankin, we have taken control of our own learning!
We’ve been stepping up to the board during Maths, explaining our thinking, and helping each other understand new ideas. It felt a bit strange at first, but was really empowering too.
Taking charge like this has helped us grow more confident, not just in what we know, but in how we share it. When we teach our classmates, we realise how much we’ve actually learned – and sometimes, we find new ways of thinking about things together as a crew.
We’ve really enjoyed this experience. It’s made our crew stronger and we now know that everyone has something valuable to offer.
During case study one LKS2 have been learning about the the origins of the Roman Empire and how they changed Britain.
Today the children completed their case study reflection using Padlet. They worked in small groups to answer questions and I was really impressed with how much they could recall from the past few weeks. Please scan the QR code to see their work.
In computing this week, we have started to think about possible inventions we could make. We revisited the technology safari that we did last week to remind ourselves of all the different things we see daily that have a computer in them.
We looked at a rocket powered chair and started to think about some questions we would like to ask about it. Miss Shields helped to rephrase some of the words to ensure it was phrased as a question.
Before we create our own inventions, we watched Dr Binocs who told us about technology inventions that changed our lives. This was to support children with starting to generate ideas about what their invention could be before they design their own in the next session.
Crew Ramsay have been creating Dennis Creffield inspired, mixed media artwork to showcase our Great Fire Of London learning! We started with charcoal and layered this with tissue paper. We have been learning about colour and mood and used this in our art project. Look how proud we are of our final pieces!
Today were learnt that Romans didn’t just believe in one God like Christians do but they believed in many Gods and Goddesses. This is called polytheism.
We started by taking part in a gallery walk to find out the names and roles of lots of different Roman Gods. We then discussed the different festivals and how they link to Roman festivals.
I loved seeing the drawings the children produced too!
