Yr 5/6 Final Product

1st December 2022Ruth Shields

This afternoon, we shared our final product, which was a science expo, with our parents. A HUGE THANK YOU to all the parents that joined us. It was great seeing so many of you turning up but also being fully engaged in the activity.

The crew were rather nervous today but I’m sure you’ll agree that they absolutely smashed it. I am beyond proud of them.

If you have an feedback regarding the Science expo, we would really appreciate your feedback. You can send this in with your child or catch me on the door at the end of the day tomorrow.

Once again thanks for joining us!

Celebration of Learning

1st December 2022A Welburn

Crew Welburn invited our parents in today to celebrate all of the learning we have carried out in our expedition ‘How do we care for bears?’. We had a wonderful teddy bears picnic, shared our learning with our adults, showed them how to print bears using different objects, and got to share our video of Goldilocks and the Three Bears with them. We had lots of fun and were very proud of everything we have achieved this term!

Christmas Fayre!

On Friday 2nd December children are invited into school in their PJs to start our Christmas celebrations. We are asking for a donation of a chocolate bar/ box to support our Christmas fayre tombola.

We are also in need of tombola prizes and would love it if you think of us when clearing out for Christmas.

Aa always thank you for your support.

Celebration of learning in Nursery.

30th November 2022Toni Ferguson

Thank you to all the parents who came to celebrate our children’s successes this term. The children were so proud to show all their fantastic pieces of work, especially their video!

Why not head over to our expedition website and take a look.

The children were presented with a teddy bear to love and cherish to remember their fantastic learning.

Well done Crew Nursery!

Line graphs – 29/11/22

30th November 2022Ruth Shields

In Maths, we have been learning about statistics and in particular line graphs. Being able to draw an accurate line graph is quite a tricky skill to learn so we spent some time practicing how to draw line graphs. As part of this, we used varying number increments on the graph so children started to understand that they won’t always go up in 1s or 2s.

Crew building – 29/11/22

30th November 2022Ruth Shields

Such a lovely crew activity about connections. We started with one child and asked them for a fact about them, if this was a common connection the children had to join them. One thing that was common in Crew Shields is that most of them have pets.

Terrific Tuesday

29th November 2022Hannah McLoughlin

Today we made a start on section 3 of our SLCs (which stands for student led conferences). This is so we can practise for January so we know what to say and are confident to present.

Next, we engaged in some active magic maths; we went around the class to answer consolidation fraction arithmetic questions which were stuck around the room. Watch us here in action…

We also started our CS3 computing, we learnt about coding and some interesting facts about binary (this is the language of computer systems).

We also fitted in some rehearsal practise so we felt ready for our presentation of learning on Thursday and to ensure it would be out of this world! – Connor

LKS2 Art work! 🖌✏️

29th November 2022Simon Gerrard

LKS2 have been learning how to effectively use water paints, for a background in their third and final Case Study! This is to create the effect of smoke, as would have been seen in British cities during the Blitz!

After completing backgrounds, Years 3 and 4 were then preparing to practice a variety of sketching techniques in preparation for sketching landmarks that will from part of the same piece of art, so please keep your eyes peeled!
