I have been so impressed with how Y1 have built on their ball skills week on week, today we perfected our passing.

Irregular Verb Phrases
Our final lesson on verbs began with a game of charades! We circled up, one person chose a verb card and then they had to act out their verb for the rest of the crew to guess. We had a giggle when Jenson started dancing! Following this, we looked at irregular verbs in the past tense and identified what happened when these formed verb phrases. We then had to identify which verb phrases had been formed correctly and correct any which had the past tense verb wrong.
Single-clause sentences in MI
Today we continued our work on single-clause sentences which we are now getting really confident with. We also looked at the ‘leftovers’ thinking about which clause they belong to. We used counters and different coloured pens to show the different clauses and worked in mini crews to check our ideas. Super impressed MI 🙂
Multiply and divide by 10, 100 and 1000
To help us understand what happens to numbers when we multiply and divide by 10, 100 and 1000, we became a human number. We looked at columns and were introduced to the decimal point. Ellie-May was a great decimal point and took her role very seriously, making sure she didn’t move! We then looked at what would happen to our number if we multiplied or divided by 10, 100 and 1000 and how our number would move one, two or three places on our place value chart.
Word problems in MI
Today we continued with our maths game where we solved lots of one step word problems. We are getting much more confident when deciding on which operation is needed.
Fab numbots!
Well done to all the children in Crew Marsh who got through the first number level!
Subject/ verb
Today we applied all of our learning to a single clause sentence and unpicked what the verb of each sentence was and from that could decide the subject. I was so impressed with how well everyone could apply all of their knowledge.
Maths learning this week
In maths this week we have focused on multi-step worded problems using our addition, subtraction, multiplication and division skills. In arithmetic we have also learnt squared and cubed numbers, order of operations and have continued consolidating long division. Keep up the great work Crew Mcloughlin! We are working so hard!
Identify the subject
Watch some members of Crew Mcloughlin demonstrating their knowledge of ‘what is a subject?’ in our grammar lesson.

Beautiful Work This Week
Beautiful Curation at Green Top!
Have you seen these beautiful newly curated areas at Green Top – awesome spaces for students to learn and play in!
A great sporting week at XP Doncaster!
On Monday, students met a few of the Doncaster Rovers first team players and were able to have photos and get autographs from the players. Students asked questions about the life of a professional athlete and the journey that the players have been on playing for different clubs. It was great to hear the players speak about our character traits and how these character traits link to sport.
Then on Tuesday students visited Hill House school to listen to Olympic gold medal GB hockey player Sam Queck. Her experience as an athlete and the ups and downs she has faced really helped our students to understand that if you want something in life you have to work hard for it! Students were able to have a photo and ask questions to Sam at the end – they even held her gold medal.
