Crew MW – Maths

24th April 2024Sarah Mcglone

In maths we have been looking at odd and even numbers. We looked at how even numbers would always show pairs, and each part would have a matching partner. However, odd numbers did not have a matching partner for every part, meaning there was an odd one on its own.

We then tried to guess whether the numicon piece in the mystery bag was an odd or an even number by feeling whether it had a completely flat top meaning that it was an even number as every part had a matching partner or whether it had a bump on the top meaning that it was an odd number as not every part had a matching partner.

Celebrating St George

23rd April 2024Nicola Robson

In Crew this morning we discussed who Saint George was and why is is celebrated on 23rd April. We worked collaboratively to make a handprint dragon as part of our crew challenge.

At lunchtime we enjoyed our indoor picnic served in a union flag box!

Finally this afternoon we completed our St George’s Day quest. We had to complete three craft activities including pointillism dragons, collage shields and a London inspired Union flag. The children loved taking part in all the activities and collecting stickers when they completed a challenge.

What is democracy?

This afternoon, we celebrated St Georges day by looking into the story of St George. We learned that St George was a Christian who lived in Turkey. He became a Roman soldier at the age of 17. The ruler at the time wanted to punish Christians but St George stood up for them. Unfortunately he was punished for this but his bravery didn’t go unnoticed. He was rewarded and became a patron saint. We then looked at the British Values, in particular democracy. We found out that democracy means that everyone has a say and the right to vote. You have to be the age of 18 to vote but that didn’t stop us. We had 3 politicians who had a manifesto. We then went to the polling station and cast our vote on a ballot paper. Shelby won our vote by gaining the majority!

The lost toy dance

In our PE lesson we have enjoyed creating our own dance thinking about toys in a toy box. We have got very good at counting in our heads to make sure we are all in time and doing it together.

Experience Day – Charlie and the Chocolate factory

22nd April 2024Kate Thompson

In our writing lesson today, we first completed a silent conversation and chotted down notices, actions and feelings that we could see in the pictures from the film. We then watched the clip of Charlie and the Chocolate factory and chotted some amazing vocabulary we could use in our writing. We even used the thesaurus to uplevel this vocabulary. After that, we then put parts of the film in order of which they happened. We did have to watch the clip a few times to make sure we got them in the correct order but this was a great way to get to fully understand the writing journey we will be going on.
