Today the children have explored the story of ‘We’re going on a bear hunt” more closely using the nursery provision. We have had mud in the tough try and ice in the water tray. We have loved feeling the different textures and getting ”mucky”.
We started our day with our caring curriculum in Crew. Here we thought about friendship and what makes a good friendship.
We also made a start on our non chronological reports in writing and started to think about our gravity sections. We thought about the subheading and built our sentences using our gold and green targets. Tomorrow we will finish our chunk 2 then edit and improve our work. We are also looking forward to building an interesting fact box which we hope will engage our reader further.
In maths we thought about mixed numbers and improper fractions and converted between both. We built an anchor chart together before applying to our books. We then looked at subtracting fractions!
Some great work in MI today! 🙂
During Crew time, we celebrated those pupils with HoWLs that are ‘Great’ meaning their HoWL average is 3.5+. We showed our appreciation for how hard they work with a little cake!

It is fair to say that Crew Gerrard were absolutely buzzing with the litter picking this afternoon and thoroughly loved it. It was great seeing so much enjoyment, Crew work and effort in making sure our playground is treated well. They were truly kind and want to make sure that it looks beautiful! What a fantastic effort guys! 😆
The children this morning used their fine motor skills to create fire works in the tough tray. We spoke about all the different sounds the children are going to hear on Bonfire night. The children loved making lots of firework noises and we pretended we were the different fireworks by shouting loud bangs for rockets and being crackling little Roman candles. They are all very excited for Saturday!
LKS2 have started their new PE unit: Dodgeball. We learnt the different rules and how we need to work together as a team. There was some excellent teamwork, along with healthy competition, showing a real sense of crew. Well done!
LKS2 also had a mini-football tournament to finish off their unit of football. The ball control, dribbling and skills were fantastic. Even better, there was so much communication to be heard and smiles as they enjoyed playing their game of football.
LKS2 have been learning about the roles of men and women during World War 2. This week, we have researched the different roles men had. The children learnt that men did many jobs; such as: working in industry, down the mines, for the police force, as a fire officer, as an ARP Warden and many many more. The children presented their information by making posters. They were so eager to show off all their new learning.
