In Crew Pashley, our superstar of the week is Charlie! Charlie has been working hard in maths this week and even asked to do extra questions. Me and Mrs Brown are so proud of him for wanting to get smart.

Working hard on our monologue write ups
MI start their art slice
Today we started our Christmas art slice. We started by thinking about the types of paint that can be used in art. We then thought about when we use each type and we explored a range of pictures. We thought about the look the paint gives, the colours that are used along with the techniques. We also offered our own critique based on the pictures. We were then introduced to the artist we will study for this art slice- Vincent Van Gogh. We watched a clip and built background knowledge before creating a class anchor chart. We then looked at a variety of Vincent’s work thinking about what we can see, how the art makes us feel, the techniques that have been used and we thought about what Vincent was trying to express. Our exit ticket allowed us to find different people in the room, voicing facts about Vincent.
Our second lesson allowed us to explore and experiment with different acrylic techniques. We watched a clip to help guide us through the techniques then we thought about Vincent’s art work and the techniques he used. We evaluated each technique thinking about which were reasonably straight forward and which proved a little more difficult. Finally our exit ticket allowed us to offer critique for improvement to others.
Caring crew in MI
Today we thought about and discussed how we can resolve conflict within a friendship. We thought about different friendships and the times we have fallen out. We discussed how we resolved the conflict and the different ways we can solve problems. We then looked at a variety of scenarios and thought about what we would do in the different situations. Some great discussions this morning 🙂

Coin Recognition in Maths
Today we started our new unit all about money. To recap what we learnt in Yr1 we matched coins and amount and then played a game on the iPad to reinforce our learning. Well done Crew Robson!
Reading for pleasure…
We are really enjoying our class read… ‘Explorer’ and are taking it in turns each day to read a bit to the class. This has been really effective in improving our fluency and expression.
Computing in Crew Boswell
This week we had lots of fun exploring how to insert sound clips using scratch. We recorded sounds and then coded these so that our sprites were saying or playing them. Some of us even challenged ourselves to put these in an order so that they played at different times.
1st December fun 🎄
The 1st December means it was time to get the Christmas tree up which was a lovely way to end assessment week. Luckily I had lots of elves to help me out.
KS1 Santa Dash!
We are so proud of our children in KS1, today, we completed our Santa Dash to raise money for Hallam FM, Cash for Kids. The children were so excited to be ‘heroes’ in their community and help those children who are not as fortunate this Christmas. The children raised an incredible £306 pound in total, including the bake sale earlier in the term. We’d like to thank all of our parents and families for your support, we enjoyed having you with us today. The children were thrilled to have raised so much money. We can’t wait to buy and wrap the gifts to donate 💕 Here’s a couple of sneaky peaks 🎅
