PE this week has involved children continuing to practice their throwing skills for cricket. They had a new coach this week so it was lovely to see them full engaged in the activity.
Cricket skills
Miners working conditions
Today, we have had the opportunity to learn more about the conditions working in the mines which are extremely unpleasant.
Children worked in pairs to read a number of sources before having to retrieve the important information. They were able to find the conditions in the mines but also the detrimental effects these had on people’s health conditions.
When we had collected the information, we have collated it into an anchor chart for the working wall.
Jobs in the mines
During our second expedition lesson, the children learned about some of the job roles from the mines. They were then challenged to read the information and act out the job. The rest of the crew had to guess the role based on the actions. Well done to everyone for getting involved and performing to the rest of the crew.
An exciting find!
In Crew Welburn this week, Aubree found a tiny key! We have been talking about what they key might be used for. We have come to the conclusion that it is for a tiny fairy door that we have found in our blossom tree! We listened very carefully to the tree yesterday and we could hear music coming from behind the door! Aubree wrote a letter to the fairies last night, and to our surprise, the fairy wrote back to her! We’ve given the fairy gifts of bagels and flowers today and lots of us have written her letters today.
I wonder what we will find at school tomorrow…

Super soil sections!
As part of our current Expedition, Earth Shattering Events, we looked at the different layers of soil. We made our own soil showing the organic matter, topsoil, subsoil and bedrock using different biscuits.
Dodgeball tournament! 🏐
KS1 have loved attending the dodgeball tournament today. They were a credit to the school and worked their socks off… I am sure they will sleep well tonight.
