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…

Making arrays
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.
Getting up and running on Google Classroom
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.
Reading Buddies!
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.
Crew Ramsay Acting Out!
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…
Remembrance Day
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.
Crew Godley Marks Remembrance
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.
Reading loud and proud
Autumn slice.
Crew Frost has had so much fun returning back this week! We have been learning all about autumn and the changes we see outside and the events we might celebrate. This week the children have enjoyed using pumpkins and colored golf pins to create their own patterns and arrangements, this really pushed our fine motor development by having to use hammers to secure our pins. We also enjoyed building our social and emotional skills by sharing with our friends and using our listening skills to recall how we use the tools safely.
Google Account
In year 6, we have been getting ourselves logged on to our google account and familarising ourselves with the different apps available. To begin with, children were asked to set themselves a new password but they were asked to ensure it was something that would be memorable. Once everyone was on, Miss Shields demonstrated how to compose an email and send it to someone else before the children had a go at emailing their shoulder partner. Next we looked at how to create a google doc and slides before sharing them.
