Superstar Arithmetic Moment

This week in arithmetic we have gone from fearing division to confidently leading our own learning and completing lots of division questions, and even getting them correct 🤩 Then Miss Mcloughlin moved our learning on by challenging us with long division (we used coin method to help us with our times tables to work these division questions out). Very proud moment when the Crew had reflected on their achievements and challenged themselves even further! We’re Getting Smart Crew!

We have openly admitted this morning in celebration crew that we haven’t been going on TTrockstars or trying to improve our timetable knowledge at home, this really will help us with every aspect of arithmetic in Y6 and beyond!

Crew Mcloughlin Authors ✍🏻

Today we started our independent write, we worked collaboratively to ensure we all had amazing ideas to include in our writing. We now know the purpose and importance of planning and this really helped us stay engaged. I cannot wait to read these and hopefully appear on our beautiful work display 🤩

An interesting object…

An interesting object appeared in Crew Welburn’s outdoor area this week…it took us a little bit of time to investigate what it was, and what we could use it for, but as soon as we worked it out, we had so much fun! We worked really well as a crew to push, pull and take turns riding on the trolly around the outdoor area! We couldn’t wait to get back out today to have another turn!

LKS2 Expert Questions! 🕵️🕵️

As part of Expedition, LKS2 generated questions to ask their experts about life during the Second World War. This is in order to better understand how war changes lives. The experts are extra special to Mrs Lewins and Mr Gerrard, as they are grandparents to each.

The excitement from the children was amazing to see, with lots of fantastic questions being asked. We generated a list in which all the children contributed a question to ask these special experts. The engagement was fantastic and we know these experts will share lots of amazing knowledge about their lives during the Second World War!

Enjoying tomatoes in Crew Nursery.

In nursery we have fruit and vegetables everyday. We always talk about why we need to eat different foods to stay healthy.

Today we tried tomatoes. All the children held a small tomato and used their senses to explore the fruit.

“It’s very juicy” said Harlow. “It’s cold and hard” said Lucas. Poor Archie smushed his onto his legs and found lots of seeds. All the children were encouraged to take a bite. We praised Keenan who reluctantly held and tried his.
