Children’s Air Ambulance Visit

Today we were very lucky to have a visit from volunteers Sandy and Trevor from the Children’s Air Ambulance. They shared lots of facts about how the air ambulance works and how their missions save the lives of children and babies who need urgent care. Did you know it costs £5500 each time the ambulance is launched!

Editing!

In Year 4, pupils have been working really hard to edit their writing during ‘Fix It’ sessions. We have been using the acronym CUPS to support with the process. Well done Crew Colclough!

Exploring Maya Jobs

Today in expedition we investigated the different jobs in a Maya village. There was lots to do and everyone played their part. At the end we decided which jobs we would have wanted to do if we had lived with the ancient Maya.

Writing

In writing 2 of the children are learning all about letters and sounds they are learning in RWI.This is also focused on being able to write cvc words and letter formation .Here is some of their work

How does Earth move through space?

Children in Crew Godley have been exploring where we live in the universe. They have created their own informative video, using key scientific vocabulary to explain their ideas. This was a great activity to deepen their understanding of how the Earth rotates on its axis and revolves around the Sun.

Fine motor building.

Fine motor skills are very important for your child’s early development. To support the children in this area Crew Frost were offered a wide range of opportunities during their choosing time.

During this session, the children were given the challenge of following pre-made cutting lines. This activity encourages children to think critically and problem-solve as they work their way through the change in directions, how to hold the paper, and cut using one hand while stabilising the other.

This activity also improves hand-eye coordination, introduces new vocabulary, strengthens fine hand muscles, and supports the foundations for early writing by encouraging left-to-right movement. The opportunies are endless with this activity! Super work Crew Frost!
