Nice to see 3 of our children managing to get themselves a postcard. They have worked so hard and been kind.

Writing part 3
In writing today the children looked at what where is. Over the past 3 days the children have looked at who?, doing? and where?
Exploring Gravity
Today, Crew Godley explored gravity, researching the famous scientist Isaac Newton, who helped us understand gravity. He discovered that gravity is a force that pulls objects towards the Earth. Gravity is always working, even though we cannot see it. We also explored the work of Galileo Galilei. His most famous observation was that two objects of the same size but slightly different mass (how much “stuff” they are made of) hit the ground at the same time, as far as he could tell, if they are dropped from the same height. This happens because the acceleration due to gravity is the same for both objects.
To test this idea, we carried out our own experiments. We dropped bottles at the same time and carefully observed what happened. The children noticed that they hit the ground together!
We then explored forces in active ways:
- Running downhill to feel the pull of gravity.
- Observing how gravity pulls us back down.
- Dropping objects at the same time to see how they fall.
- Identifying pushes and pulls in everyday movements.
Crew McLoughlin Rise to the Challenge!
This week, Crew McLoughlin took part in a fun and challenging Crew activity that put their teamwork and problem-solving skills to the test. The pupils were split into two groups and were tasked with passing a ball of paper around a circle without using their hands – encouraging creative thinking and strong communication. Once they had mastered this, the challenge was made even harder by removing the use of both hands and legs! The crew showed fantastic resilience, cooperation, and determination as they worked together to succeed.
Writing part 2
In writing today they looked at the doing word . They found out that this is a action word .
Writing
In writing the children began to look at simple sentences. They looked at what who? was using our colourful semantics.
First Day Back Crew!
For our first day back we enjoyed an extended crew session in Crew Ramsay. We spoke about the beautiful Work in our class last half term and celebrated these with the new unveiling of our Beautiful Work display. These children have worked on their pledges and showcased real growth and perseverance! We then enjoyed a challenge in groups playing The Leaning Tower of Feet-za! This reminded us to reflect on our work/challenges and strategise for improvement, always. Great work guys!
Multiplication Manipulatives!
We have been really grasping the concept of multiplication by exposing the structure of repeated addition first. Here we are multiplying numbers with bricks, base ten and sticks! We are so secure with this now that writing equations is easy work. Good Job Crew Ramsay!
