Crew Gray have been working hard in Maths, we have been ordering and comparing decimals. To consolidate and tie all of our learning together, we were challenged to measure our heights and ordered these in ascending order.
🌟 Amazing Young Authors: Celebrating Your Non-Chronological Reports! 🌟
Wow—what a fantastic job you’ve all done! 🎉 We are so proud of the brilliant non-chronological reports that have been published. You have truly shown what it means to be young researchers, writers, and creators.
🧠 What Made Your Reports So Great?
Your work included so many impressive features:
📚 Becoming Real Authors
By publishing your reports, you’ve taken an exciting step—you are now published authors! That means other people can read, learn from, and enjoy your work. How amazing is that?
Writing like this helps build important skills:
These are the same skills that real journalists, scientists, and authors use every day!
You should feel incredibly proud of what you’ve achieved. Writing a non-chronological report isn’t easy, but you’ve shown creativity, effort, and determination. Keep up the amazing work! ✨
This week I have been working on my non- chronological report. I have produced 2 pages full of writing including the Carcroft School logo and 4 paragraphs in different lengths. Firstly, I researched my subject. Secondly, I wrote. Thirdly, I edited my work improving and ensuring a perfect piece. Lastly, I published my work on to 2 different pieces of paper. Written by Tiarna.
I am proud of the work I have created; it’s a non chronological report I’ve been working on for the past week. I hope you like it. It’s about the Solar System. Written by Greatness.
This week in Crew White we’ve been working on non-chronological reports based on our favourite things:
My non-chronological report is all about dogs and how they help people in different ways, sometimes without us even realising! Written by Frankie.
In Writing, we have been creating a non-chronological poster about things we like. I wrote about Football (my title was Football The Beautiful Game). This was the process of writing the non-chronological report:
Here is an example of the finished product.
The children in pe blind folded each other and tried to get them round the maze and through the gates .
In maths today the children were looking at half and quarters in fractions. The children used concrete evidence to work out half and quarter of a number.
This week, I have been writing a non-chronological report about dogs. First, I researched my subject and wrote it in my book, then I checked and edited my work. After that, I designed where I would do my writing on a practice sheet then published it; here is my final piece of writing.
In Crew White, we have chosen a subject that we are interested in. We have written and published it in order to inform you about our interests! We have enjoyed writing about it all and we hope you learn something when we come to share it! Personally, I have chosen turtles since they are a big interest of mine and I hope to inform you about our impact on their world!
Today, Crew Frost continued their Easter-themed learning—with a mathematical twist! This week, we have been focusing on number recognition and touch counting as part of our early maths development.
The children were encouraged to count out the correct number of rabbits for each hutch. This supported their understanding of matching quantity to number, which is a key aspect of the EYFS Maths area of learning.
During the activity, the children worked both collaboratively and independently, developing their confidence as well as their communication and language skills. We also saw lots of perseverance and problem-solving as they checked and corrected their counting.
Using their “pinchy fingers” to pick up the rabbits helped to strengthen their fine motor skills, supporting Physical Development—an important foundation for later writing.
Furthermore, as the children develop positive attitudes towards maths through play this makes us so proud as a Crew. Well done, Crew Frost—we are so proud of the fantastic learning we are seeing and can’t wait to watch your confidence in maths continue to grow!
This week, we have been continuing to refine our use of relative clauses and accurate punctuation of parenthesis. We split our main clause, found the correct place to add our relative clause and then used correct punctuation. Then, we applied this to our previous writing, editing and improving.
Last week in Crew McLoughlin’s grammar lesson, the children became “clause detectives” as they explored how to add extra information to sentences using relative clauses.
Each child was given a main clause and worked collaboratively in pairs to decide where additional detail could be added to make their sentence more interesting. They then used their mini whiteboards to choose an appropriate relative clause from the board, carefully matching it so the sentence made sense. Once they had confidently built their sentences together, the children challenged themselves further by moving on to create their own relative clauses using new sentences provided at the front of the classroom.
It was fantastic to see their growing confidence in expanding sentences and adding detail, helping to make their writing more engaging and precise.
