Rounders Champions!!

Today I couldn’t have been prouder of our KS1 children. Rounders isn’t a sport we usually play, so a quick turn around of learning the basics, Miss Holdsworth shadowing 2nd base with her life and most importantly working as a crew… we did it! Something we have never done before, we came first place in the Rounders tournament. We won every game, got noticed for our hard work, resilience and sportsmanship. Holding up the trophy even made one child say “This is the best day of my life” what an absolute honour it has been to attend todays competition!

Maths – counting 1

In maths, we have been looking at the number 1. We know that the number 1 only likes to have 1 of everything. We know if something is 1 because it is by itself. We decided that we wanted to make the number 1 a snack – some of us decided to make 1 cupcake, whilst others decided to make 1 pizza. We also made sure that the table was set properly, with 1 knife, 1 fork, 1 cup and 1 plate. Once we had made a snack for number 1, we showed the number 1 using our fingers!

Basketball club with Eagle Hoops

I have been blown away at the progression with their skills and also sportsmanship within their basketball club. The children attend every Friday lunch time and I thoroughly enjoy watching them grow as individuals but also as small teams! Some great skills developing but the encouragement they give each other is such a great personality trait to have! The language they’re using is also impressive, as they know when it’s the other teams throw-in, foul due to ill play and knowledge around dribbling and passing correctly. Super impressive KS1

Enjoying our new classroom and our first week back after half term!

Crew McGlone were very excited to explore their new classroom after half term. They have really enjoyed getting to know where our resources are kept and the areas we have in our new room.

Whilst we were enjoying our half term holiday, the season definitely changed and we noticed LOTS more golden, crunchy leaves had fallen off the trees in our outdoor area. We loved playing with our friends in Crew F2 and we worked together to collect them up and create big piles for us to play in. We even found some mini-beasts and insects!
