Today we continued being geographers by comparing the UK and Svalbard.
We noticed they are both islands, both have polars bears and mountains.
Svalbard doesn’t have have any trees but the UK does.

Human Life Cycles
In Crew White, as well as preparing for our SATs, we have been learning about human life cycles. We have learnt particularly about the emotional and behavioural changes, along with the physical changes that the body goes through.
We produced double page spreads to show off our understanding, thinking about our audience and the purpose of explaining and informing.
We are artists
We Are Artists!
Today, we planned our animal sculptures by doing sketches labelled with textures! Here we are designing our sculptures!
Beautiful Work ❤️
LKS2 have updated their corridor display showcasing their beautiful work from the Spring expedition From Bean to Bar. We love to see an expedition come together in a display. Well done everyone 😀
Building up our stories
During our expedition “When the Sea Meets the Shore,” we have been exploring the story The Singing Mermaid. The children began by sharing their ideas and predictions, thinking carefully about where the mermaid might travel next and what adventures she might have along the way. This gave them the opportunity to express their own thoughts and build on each other’s ideas.
We then used these suggestions to create visual prompts, which were taken to the water tray to enhance our play. The children used these prompts to guide their storytelling, developing their vocabulary and deepening their understanding of “who,” “what,” and “where.” Through this, they created imaginative and detailed narratives, bringing the mermaid’s journey to life in their own unique ways.
This activity supported their communication and language development, as well as encouraging creativity and collaboration. It was also a lovely way to engage in meaningful, hands-on learning, especially in the warm weather.
Well done for working so hard, Crew Frost!
Fabulous Fact Files
In expedition we have been exploring the human and physical features of Svalbard. We made fact files about the different physical features including mountains, glaciers, fjords and the tundra.
Coral Reef
During our expedition “When the Sea Meets the Shore,” the children have been learning all about coral reefs and how this environment differs from their own. They explored the wide range of colours and textures found in coral reef habitats and then applied this knowledge in our playdough area, where they created their own reef-inspired models.
This activity provided a great opportunity to develop fine motor skills, while also supporting language development as the children described their creations and shared ideas. It also helped build their understanding of boundaries, particularly when using food-based resources for creative purposes rather than for eating.
Well done, Crew Frost!

Making Animal Crowns with our Families!
Today our Crew Ramsay parents came into school to make animals crowns with us! We are going to wear these in an animal parade to raise awareness of endangered animals! Here we are enjoying our afternoon of family learning.
