Year 6 had a fantastic time on our trip to Crucial Crew! We learnt so much throughout the day, including important lessons about road safety, bus safety, knife crime, and antisocial behaviour. Each activity helped us understand how to make sensible choices and stay safe in different situations.
It was a really fun and interesting day, and we’ll definitely remember and use what we’ve learnt as we move forward.
Yesterday in Crew Colclough, we began our independent writing. We have created our own historical narratives based on the book ‘Escape from Pompeii’. Today we will move onto editing and publishing our own stories.
We have loved our learning about primary and secondary colours this week! We used powder paints to make primary colours and then mixed these together to make secondary colours. The children absolutely loved listening to calm music as we got busy. What a lovely Wednesday!
Today in expedition the children got to make their own roman sundial and learn about why they did not have a clock.
Today, Crew McLoughlin had a fantastic expedition science lesson learning about the different parts of plants and their roles. The class explored real plants kindly shared from Miss Newman’s mum’s garden, which made the lesson extra special!
Students carefully examined roots, stems, leaves, and flowers, discussing how each part helps the plant grow and stay healthy. They loved getting hands-on with the plants and spotting the unique features of each one.

Our HoWL house competition is heating up! This week, Carrs are leading the scoreboard with 1,484 points, followed closely by Smithies with 1,430 points. Canaries and Billiards are also putting in fantastic effort, showing determination and teamwork.
Throughout the term, every point earned has celebrated our hard work, kindness and work towards. At the end of Autumn Term, the winning house will enjoy a special Christmas Movie Afternoon, complete with hot chocolate and popcorn in the hall. Keep up the amazing work, crews – every point counts!
We are so proud of this young man. He has created two amazing paragraphs over the last couple of days. His effective word choice is particularly impressive. However, the reason I felt the need to blog this today was because of his expressive reading. We have been working on our fluency skills and today, Henry today demonstrated excellence in this.
