Strong Foundations In Crew Ramsay
We have been focussing on our basics this week including letter formation, number formation and fine motor strength/dexterity. Here we are moving through table top provisions in both writing and maths lessons. On these tables we love practising the basics and taking pride in our work. What a great start to the year.

Expedition – Beginning to make our Mars Rovers
Today, we were given a set of materials needed to create our Mars Rovers. We used the materials to practice building what they may look like… 🪐
LKS2 Expert!
This afternoon, Crew Colclough stepped back in time alongside dedicated volunteers from Victoria Cross for an immersive World War II history workshop. Pupils were captivated by the hands-on session, which brought history to life through authentic WWII artifacts—including gas masks, deactivated weaponry, and inert grenades. It was a memorable, deeply engaging experience that gave everyone a powerful glimpse into the daily life of a soldier.
STIK inspired artwork
Today we created some beautiful artwork for our final product based on the British graffiti artist STIK.
To start we did a gallery walk to critique his artwork. We then did several drafts before doing our final designs.
We’re looking for a Midday Supervisor at Norton!

Fantastic Friday in Crew White
We finished our week by celebrating some of the fantastic learning that has taken place across Crew White!
Each member of our Crew chose a piece of learning from the week that they felt particularly proud of. We then took part in a gallery walk, giving everyone the chance to look carefully at each other’s work and celebrate the effort, care and determination that had gone into it.
Afterwards, we voted for the Crew members who we felt had really worked hard to produce something they could be proud of.
A huge well done to Harrison and Emelia, who were our Fantastic Friday winners this week and had special postcards sent home to celebrate their efforts.
A great way to finish the week and recognise what it means to work hard and get smart!
LKS2- Reading
LKS2 have had a fantastic week immersing themselves in our new text ‘The lion and the unicorn’. Pupils have enjoyed reading an extract from the book to help build fluency. We have also been identifying different question types.
