Learning a new language.

Today’s French lesson was filled with fun, as we matched pictures of delicious fruits with their French names! From ‘pomme’ to ‘banane’ we practiced pronunciation and made connections through colourful visuals.

What does seasonality mean?

7th March 2025Kate Thompson

In expedition, we started our new DT case study by looking at seasonal food and seasonality. We started off by discussing the four different seasons and then we sorted the items into each season. We then looked at which seasons food grew best in. We sorted the pictures based on the seasonality food chart. We found this really interesting and how some fruits and vegetables are in season all year round. We also found it interesting that in winter, less fruit and vegetables are in season.

World Book Day

7th March 2025Laura Hamill

We’ve had some AMAZING costumes for World Book Day today in Crew Hamill.

Crew Hamill have also brought in some BRILLIANT plates inspired by their favourite characters. Well done to Jake and Kira for their winning plates!

We’ve had SO much fun going in to read to the smaller children in EYFS today too. Thank you Crew Frost and Crew McGlone for letting us join your lovely crews!

Art Critique

7th March 2025Laura Hamill

Now that Crew Hamill have completed their final paintings of Martin Luther King Jr and Rosa Parks, we have used a Padlet to share out paintings with the rest of the crew and add some critique. We have remembered to be kind, specific and helpful and to ensure we critique the piece and not the person.

Scotty’s Heroes

7th March 2025Laura Hamill

Crew Hamill loved their Scotty’s session today in which they were learning how to successfully use a flint and steel to create a fire. Did you know, if you use vaseline on your cotton pad, it will stay alight longer and your flame will be larger?
