In our final challenge crew, we carried on building our communication and teamwork skills with a few problem-solving activities. A hoop race and version of cops and robbers saw us thinking about strategies to become more efficient whilst ensuring we were all working to a common goal.

XP Outdoors!
We had lots of fun taking part in our XP outdoor challenge this morning. We set up our obstacle course and used our climbing, balancing and rolling skills to complete this as a crew!
Planting

Popcorn and smores
Well year 6 had a lovely afternoon round the fire pit toasting marshmallows to make smores and having popcorn🍿
Crew Pashley Planting Peas
Today, we finished planting our pea seeds in our pots, including setting up our plant diaries to keep track of their progress. We used what we learnt during the Spring term about planting seeds to make sure they were planted properly, so they could grow. We discussed the best place in the classroom to get the most sunlight.
Pea plant update🌱
We have been watering our pea plants every other day for the last week and we are so surprised by how fast they have grown. Today, we watered our plants and filled out our plant planner.
Finding doubles – outdoor maths!
We have been looking at what doubles are, and what happens to a number when you double it. We took our learning outside this week and had a ‘Doubles Hunt’! We each had to take a piece of numicon out of the mystery bag before searching the playground for the matching image. Once we had found it, we had to count what double the original number was. Even though we all had a piece, we worked well with our peers and showed fantastic team-work by helping each other find the correct image and then helping to count to find double that number. Excellent work Crew Welburn!
XP outdoors
This week in xp outdoors the children have been making a nature tree. They had cut out cardboard with just the trunk of a tree in and they had to collect flowers to make their own tree.
Watching our lettuce grow 🥬👀
🦔Hedgehog🦔
So today down in EYFS the children found a baby hedgehog in front of the shed. Ms Haddock and Mrs Gilliland put him in a box with some blankets to keep him nice and warm. Then Mrs Gilliland kindly took him to hedgehog hospital where they weighed him(60g) He has to weigh 720g before they will let him go back into the wild. So cute🦔😍
