Chapter One Celebration!
In Crew Colclough, we celebrated the end of Chapter One book clubs. All pupils attended a session with the author Gareth P Jones. Well done for all your hard work this year with Chapter One! Pupils loved asking him a range of questions.
Exploring 3D shapes
In Maths, we explored 3D shapes and learned about their properties. We looked at faces, vertices and edges and practised counting them on different shapes.
By the end of the lesson, we were more confident identifying and describing 3D shapes using mathematical vocabulary.
Case Study Reflections
This week we have completed our case study reflections and moved onto our second case study all about forces and magnets.

P.E
In P.E today the children used lots of different skills
Jack and the beanstalk
In writing today, we looked at describing Jack from Jack and the Beanstalk. We worked together on the board and shared our ideas by “popcorning” our answers. After that, we focused on writing the first part of our sentence. Once our sentence was complete, we checked it carefully to make sure it started with a capital letter, included finger spaces, had a full stop at the end, and used capital letters correctly.
We then underlined the different parts of our sentence using different colours to identify the who, what, and describing words. We used a red pen to correct any mistakes. Finally, we had a go at writing our own sentence independently.
