Crew Shields have really enjoyed being able to design animals that would be able to survive in the rainforest. They explored merging some animals together and ensured they had the required adaptions to survive.

Testing magnets (21.2.22)
Year 3 tested magnets on different materials to see whether they were magnetic or not. We then discussed why we thought the materials were magnetic and the forces at work, such as attracting which is a pull force.
Magnets (11.2.22)
Year 3 and 4 have been taking a look at how magnets work. We loved the active lesson where we spoke through the vocabulary of magnets, including push, pull, attract and repel. We then went on to draw our own magnet diagram and describe how the magnets work.
Happy half term to LKS2 as well! Enjoy the rest and see you all in a weeks time 😆
Science in MI
Today we looked at how animals can be classified. We thought about the difference between vertebrates and invertebrates and used classification keys to identify each one. We then sketched and labelled our invertebrates and thought about their features. We used our knowledge gained to think about similarities and differences between two of them.
Dissecting flowers
Dissecting flowers 🌷
We have started our science lesson today by dissecting a tulip and labelling the parts. We loved this and cannot wait to finish learning about pollination and the life cycle of a flowering plant tomorrow!
Crew MI science lesson
We had a great lesson learning about plants. We actually dissected a flower so we could see the different parts and we labelled them. We learnt about pollination and even acted it out.
LKS2 Experience Day!
As part of Expedition and English, we are going to be writing a letter, as well as a song – keep your eyes peeled for the latter! We worked collaboratively on iPads to be able to see how humans are causing climate change. Check through the images to see how well we worked together!
Crew Shields – 1/2/22
Great team building activity to start our morning after the long weekend.
This was a great opportunity for children to develop their speaking and listening skills but also consolidate their maths knowledge.
Each child had a number on their head and they had to ask their peers questions about their number.
E.g – Is my number a 1, 2, 3 or 4 digit number? Is it a multiple? Is it odd? Etc.
Expeditionary learning so far …🗺🌍🌧🦥
Here’s some snapshots of what we have been getting up to during our new expedition this term Why should we help our planet survive? We are currently engaging in science and geography case studies and the children are loving it!
