Crew FI got into 2 groups and each had a go at filling in the times table wheel. The first group to fill in the wheel were the winners!
Times table fun
Enjoying our time outdoors 🍁🍂
We have been spending as much time outside as possible while the weather is still nice!
There have been so many beautiful moments of crew: sharing, working as a team, positive communication, and words of encouragement and support. We have been collecting leaves, creating assault courses, helping each other to tidy… we even found a twig that looked like a spider so sang ‘Incy Wincy Spider’!
Drawing The Gruffalo ✍🏼👹
We have been looking at the story ‘The Gruffalo’ in our writing sessions this week. We have talked about the features he has and how we can show them using different shapes and colours. We then used a step-by-step guide to help us. Once we were finished, we then told Miss McGlone everything we had included in our drawings to create The Gruffalo.
Gone fishing! 🎣🛶
We had the best time building a boat and going fishing with Miss Evans!
PE
We have been working with the PE coaches on our football skills. We have listened carefully to their instructions and we have started to recall information from one week to the next so that we can build on and improve our skills weekly.
Drawing Everywhere Bear ✍🏼🧸
We have been looking at the story ‘The Everywhere Bear’ during our writing lessons, and it has inspired us to draw our own bears. We followed a step-by-step guide to help us use the correct shapes, and when we were done we told Miss McGlone all about the features of our bear, which she then added on as labels.
Potion Shop! 🧪✨
We have really been enjoying spending time outside in the Autumn sunshine, especially when we decided to set up our very own Potion Shop! We worked together as a crew, all with very different roles – making the potions, selling the potions and requesting more stock when we ran out, and buying the potions. It was lovely to hear such positive, kind, and polite language from everyone, and see leadership skills in action.
Tracing our names with a starting dot ✍🏼
We have been putting our pre-writing skills to the test as we have been tracing our names, using a starting dot on each letter to help us with the correct letter formation.
Crew McGlone are FANTASTIC at remembering all the correct steps to show that they are ready to write: BBC, TNT, 6 feet, 2 hands. They have really blown me away with how well they are working on their ‘pinch parrot’ to perfect their pencil grip! The children have also been learning about the specific handwriting lines: top broken, top solid, bottom solid, bottom broken, as well as looking at how we start writing at the top of the page and we write from left to right. Lots of things to remember, but using our writing wall to look at the Widgits of each skill really helps us!
Magic Mathematician’s
Today, Crew Godley have been working hard in Maths as we continue our learning about place value. We used a range of practical manipulatives to help us build, represent and understand numbers, thinking carefully about the value of each digit.
We enjoyed getting hands-on with our learning and used the manipulatives to explain our mathematical thinking. We are becoming more confident at recognising the importance of each place within a number and applying our knowledge to different challenges.
We worked hard, got smart and showed great mathematical thinking!
Fantastic Friday in Crew White
This afternoon, we celebrated those learners who are aiming high! Crew White students selected several names of those children that they believed were going above and beyond this week and then we held a secret vote to give postcards to them. Well done you three!
