Take a look at some of our beautiful pieces of writing from last week. I am so proud of how well the children are working hard to get smart and take real pride in their work. Keep up the amazing work Crew McGlone!

Crew McLoughlin’s Story Maps
Crew McLoughlin began their independent writing journey by creating amazing story maps to plan third-person suspense narratives. These story maps helped structure how the suspense will unfold naturally while keeping readers emotionally connected to the characters. Children worked super hard to create beautiful high-quality work.
Comparing the UK and Svalbard
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.
Mastering Doubles and Near Doubles
Today, Crew Ramsay learned how to use our knowledge of doubles to make near doubles. We added 1 more to known doubles on the rekenreks to see the structure of near doubles. Here we are recording expressions and getting stuck in!
Performing Poetry
CrewRobson enjoyed practicing performing poetry today to hook them into our new writing unit.
Blending in Phonics.
Using our anchor charts in Phonics today, we often use these whilst in choosing, but today we sat and did the whole lot! Well-done Alexis, great blending!
Milkshake, Yummy!
Last week, we planted some strawberry seeds, we learned how the seeds will eventually grow into strawberries. Today, we used some store-bought strawberries to make a delicious strawberry milkshake by chopping them into small pieces and adding them to the blender with milk. We spoke about how we can hopefully use our plants in the future too!
Think we did a great job!

Performance Poetry
Today, we kicked off our poetry unit with an inspiring session watching the legendary Michael Rosen perform. After analyzing his iconic style, we built a performance toolkit to sharpen our own skills. We spent the rest of the lesson rehearsing in pairs, fine-tuning our delivery to ensure our upcoming performances are just as captivating.
Sharing Our Stories with KS1
Year 3 loved sharing their stories inspired by ‘The Journey Home’ with FS1, Year 2 and Year 5.
The staff were very impressed with their stories and how confidently they read them.
Well done CrewRobson!
