Today we continued being geographers by comparing the UK and Svalbard.
We noticed they are both islands, both have polars bears and mountains.
Svalbard doesn’t have have any trees but the UK does.
Comparing the UK and Svalbard
Mastering Doubles and Near Doubles
Today, Crew Ramsay learned how to use our knowledge of doubles to make near doubles. We added 1 more to known doubles on the rekenreks to see the structure of near doubles. Here we are recording expressions and getting stuck in!
Performing Poetry
CrewRobson enjoyed practicing performing poetry today to hook them into our new writing unit.
Blending in Phonics.
Using our anchor charts in Phonics today, we often use these whilst in choosing, but today we sat and did the whole lot! Well-done Alexis, great blending!
Milkshake, Yummy!
Last week, we planted some strawberry seeds, we learned how the seeds will eventually grow into strawberries. Today, we used some store-bought strawberries to make a delicious strawberry milkshake by chopping them into small pieces and adding them to the blender with milk. We spoke about how we can hopefully use our plants in the future too!
Think we did a great job!

Performance Poetry
Today, we kicked off our poetry unit with an inspiring session watching the legendary Michael Rosen perform. After analyzing his iconic style, we built a performance toolkit to sharpen our own skills. We spent the rest of the lesson rehearsing in pairs, fine-tuning our delivery to ensure our upcoming performances are just as captivating.
Sharing Our Stories with KS1
Year 3 loved sharing their stories inspired by ‘The Journey Home’ with FS1, Year 2 and Year 5.
The staff were very impressed with their stories and how confidently they read them.
Well done CrewRobson!
Published Books!
Today in Crew Colclough, we were super proud of ourselves as we reached the final part of the writing process. We were able to become authors and illustrators, publishing our very own books! We can’t wait to share them with the school community, parents, and carers on Monday. Well done for your hard work—I know how proud you are.
Human Life Cycles
In Crew White, as well as preparing for our SATs, we have been learning about human life cycles. We have learnt particularly about the emotional and behavioural changes, along with the physical changes that the body goes through.
We produced double page spreads to show off our understanding, thinking about our audience and the purpose of explaining and informing.
