In Crew Pashley, our superstar of the week is Charlie! Charlie has been working hard in maths this week and even asked to do extra questions. Me and Mrs Brown are so proud of him for wanting to get smart.
Superstar ⭐️🎉👏

Exploring a new resource…👀
Crew MW explored a mystery box this morning in outdoor provision…We began by predicting what might be in the box. Some of us thought there might be a giant teddy in there, or a pirate, or maybe even a unicorn! But what we found was some giant polydron pieces! We had lots of fun working together to build using the polydrons outside! We created a house and a tunnel with a trap door and we followed Miss Welburn’s instructions and positional language carefully to make the structures. We even worked out how to rotate the shapes around to make them fit together. The best part was pretending to be the Big Bad Wolf and the Three Little Pigs! We huffed, and we puffed, and we blew the house down! 🐷🐷🐷🐺
One more in maths!
Crew MW were exploring finding one more in maths this morning! We listened to a song about elephants and showed how many elephants there were using our cubes. Each time a new elephant joined, we used our cubes to show one more! We noticed that every time we added one more, our tower got bigger because the numbers were getting bigger.
Representing numbers!
In maths today, Crew MW have been listening carefully to the amount of sounds that they heard and counting these into their five frames. They used the objects to represent the numbers and talked about how many squares were full and how many were empty. I’m really impressed with how hard all of the children worked and how smart they were getting with representing their numbers!
TTRS battle in KS2
Our timestable rockstar day ended with quite the battle! Crews battled against each other to gather points in the hope their crew would make it to the final! There was great encouragement by all and it was lovely to see the improvements in our timestable knowledge! A big well done to everyone that took part 🙂 A big shout out to Crew Boswell who made it to the final! And to the 2 children who beat Mrs Ibbotson!
Repeating Patterns in Maths
Crew MW have been exploring repeating patterns this week in maths. We have copied patterns, continued patterns and made our own patterns using cubes, vehicles and natural resources around provision. We even challenged ourselves to spot the mistake in Miss Welburn’s patterns!
MI working hard on arithmetic gaps
Today we started to unpick our arithmetic test from last week, working on some of the questions we answered incorrectly.
Mass in maths!
Crew MW have been exploring mass in maths today. We have been using our scales to weigh objects and compare which one is heavy and which one is light. We were really good at using our mathematical language to compare!
Division in MI
Today we used cubes to help us with division 🙂 We all worked well with our partner discussing how we could share and group the cubes.
Multi-Step Addition and Subtraction Problems in Crew Boswell
Today we played a board game to develop our understanding of multi-step problems. At first, it was a little tricky picking out the sums in the questions but after a little practice and help from our friends we started to get the hang of it!
