Fine motor building.

15th January 2026Elizabeth Frost

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!

Name Recognition!

15th January 2026Elizabeth Frost

In Crew Frost we like to be prepared! For the summer term, we are aiming for the children to able to recognise their own name and even write some letters for their own name!

To support this, during their choosing time the children are offered opportunities to spot their name, work on their pencil grip, pronounce the first sound in their name, and begin letter formation for their name. They were so excited to see their very own name cards this week, and we can’t wait to do more fun name-recognition games with them. We can wait to see this fine motor skill develop. Well done Crew Frost – you are working very hard!

Sponsored walk

11th December 2025Elizabeth Frost

Crew Frost have been working super hard on their sponsored walk this week, they have loved walking their miles to the North Pole with the older children. Furthermore, they have enjoyed learning all about exercise and how walking helps our muscles and bones grow. We have also been taken in the environmental sounds and looking at how big our school community is. Well done Crew Frost.

Year 3/4 football tournament

9th October 2025Natasha Holdsworth

Today 5 pupils from both year 3 and year 4 headed out for the afternoon to compete in a football tournament. They were one of 10 teams, unfortunately we didn’t place in the top 3 but I was so impressed with the children’s efforts, resilience and sportsmanship. Out of the 10 teams, which was over 100 children in total, one of our year 4 pupils was given a medal for his stand out sportsmanship. We were all so proud of him, what a great achievement! Here’s a few photos to showcase our fantastic afternoon!

Rounders Champions!!

9th July 2025Natasha Holdsworth

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

12th January 2025Sarah Mcglone

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!
