Fun Fun Fun on the UKS2 Playground Today ⚽️🏀🎾🤸🏻
A great Monday in MI
This morning Crew MI took part in their Caring Crew where we talked about who is in our family, who loves us and why our families make us feel safe. We worked in small groups to build back up a jigsaw using a variety of different families then we discussed what we noticed about the pictures thinking about what was the same and what was different. There was some great collaborative working during this activity which was lovely to see. We then drew our families, describing characteristics about each member, what they are like, what they do and what they enjoy. We then shared these things with the rest of the crew. During our debrief, we thought about what our jobs are as a member of Crew MI and we made pledges for moving forward. Crew was fantastic this morning! Great job Crew MI 🙂
In our expeditionary learning we took part in a grammar lesson thinking about figurative language. We explored similes, metaphors, personification and hyperbole. We worked collaboratively to build our own examples linking them to space and linking to the chapter we have been unpicking in our reading lessons.
A great day in MI, our HOWL score was 3.5 🙂 Lets keep this up MI.
Crew Welburn’s Exciting Expedition
Crew Welburn had an exciting week in expedition last week – we’d had a visitor in our classroom! The visitor had left some footprints leading around the room, which we used to draw a map, and he’d even been caught on the cameras! It was very exciting and we spent lots of time searching the classroom to see if he was still there!
KS1 Expeditionary Fieldwork
KS1 visited Lincoln Castle last week to witness first hand what lies within the castle walls. They had an amazing time exploring the castle, seeing the fire breathing dragon and making their own shields. it was wonderful to see the children so excited about their expedition, ’What lies within the castle walls’.
KS1 Book Bags
Could all children in Y1 and Y2 please ensure they return their books bags so we can ensure they all have their new RWI books ready for Friday 😊 Thank you!
Having independence in F1.
The children used knifes and forks in the home corner today to practice their cutting skills. They used play dough to roll out different foods and then cut them in half. We spoke about using both a fork and then a knife to cut. The children have really worked hard on this new skill.

International Teddy Bear day in nursery.
We had a brilliant morning on Friday celebrating everything Teddy Bears. The children (and staff) all came to school wearing their PJs so we could enjoy our very own Teddy Bears picnic. The children shared their favourite bears and made jam sandwiches to share at snack time. We worked hard while listening to Teddy Bear stories and enjoyed a special treat as a crew.
Music – Y3/4
This week we have started looking at Jazz music and how it was important during World War II. We identified the instruments used and began to learn the song ’We’ll Meet Again’, originally performed by Dame Vera Lynn. Keep an eye out for a sneak peek of our further practise of the song in the coming week!
