Making a Loop

30th September 2025Ruth Shields

To start the lessons, we reminded ourselves of what we’d discovered last week when we were tinkering with scratch. We thought of 5 things then shared this with our partners.

Once we had reminded ourselves of the capabilities of Scratch, we explored making a loop by using sounds for our sprite and having them play the sounds at the same time.

In Crew Ramsay, we have been getting to know Vlad The Flea. We had a story time, watched videos about The Great Fire of London, learned new words for ‘little’ and then did a whip-around protocol to share facts about Vlad. We are now so excited to get writing about Vlad in our Literacy topic!

Immersing Ourselves Into The Lorax

29th September 2025Charlotte Newman

Today was Experience Day in our writing lesson, Crew McLoughlin practised their roleplaying skills through recreating scenes from The Lorax. Working in mini crews, everyone planned, rehearsed, and then performed their scenes for the class. There was plenty of creativity, teamwork and communication! Our crew particularly enjoyed guessing which scene each group was performing! This was a great way kick start our new writing unit.

Experience Day – The Lorax

29th September 2025Ruth Shields

In writing, Crew Gray have had their experience Day where they have immersed themselves in The Lorax. We watched the first part of the movie to familiarise ourselves with the story then we split into mini crews to do some roleplay. Each mini crew selected a scene, acted it out before performing to the rest of the class who guessed which scene they had. Massive well done to the children who pushed themselves out of their comfort zone and give it their best effort.

Life skills

26th September 2025Tracy Haddock

so today in life skills the children got to bake buns. They work hard all week looking at what ingredients they needed. Then they looked at Asda online and prices up how much it would cost.Followed by looking at what equipment was needed and to not forget to wash our hands and clean the table . We hope the staff enjoyed their bun.

UKS2 Online Safety Visit

26th September 2025Laura Hamill

Today, Upper Key Stage 2 received a visit from an officer with South Yorkshire Police to learn all about online safety. Lots of us were surprised to find out that a lot of the apps we use each day (Snapchat, Whatsapp, Facebook etc.) actually have an age limit of 13 years old!! This means that we shouldn’t actually be using them yet. We also learned all about the ways in which we can stay safe online – not sharing passwords or personal information, never talking to people we don’t know and sharing any concerns we have with trusted adults.

Library Visit

26th September 2025Laura Hamill

Crew Rankin are loving their Reading Crew sessions on a Friday! We have been loving spending some time reading for enjoyment with the books we have been able to choose from our school library. Some of us have now finished our first books so have been to the library again today to change them for new ones!
