Engaging in Expedition

18th January 2023A Welburn

Crew Welburn have started Case Study 1 in expedition this week – How can I help my body to grow? We begun by looking at the skills that we need to work on in our crews to look after our bodies, and to develop our independence. We began by talking about how we brush our teeth and why we need to look after our teeth, and then we moved on to how we can be more independent when getting dressed – especially when we are putting on our gloves! We all showed the grown ups that we can turn our jumpers the right way around and put them on with no help, zip up our coats with no help, and every single one of us had a go at putting on our gloves without needing the grown ups to do it for us! 🧤

Popular Play-dough!

18th January 2023A Welburn

We had an exciting delivery today in Crew Welburn…Some new play-dough resources had been delivered to help us with our fine motor skills so that we can make our fingers nice and strong! It was a very popular area of provision all day, and the grown ups were all really impressed with how well the children were challenging themselves to use the new tools and to use their fine motor skills, and focussing on what they were doing

February half term camp!

18th January 2023Lauren Marsh

We have exciting news again, Active Fusion are hosting camps at out school in February half term (Monday 13th – Friday 17th February). Camps will cost £6 per day and children we need to bring their own pack lunch. The reason camps are charged this time is because Active Fusion are not receiving any funding from the government.

Circuits

17th January 2023Catherine Flaherty

We have had such a wonderful first few weeks back at school and the children’s enthusiasm for learning is wonderful to see especially when we have been learning about circuits. The children in LKS2 have enjoyed investigating how circuits work and what happens in additional equipment is added. They particularly enjoyed adding a switch and buzzer to their circuits. The children have demonstrated fantastic HOWLs by listening to each other carefully when creating their own circuits.

SLC Praise – LKS2

17th January 2023Catherine Flaherty

What a wonderful we have had in LKS2. It has been wonderful to listen to the children reflect on their achievements in the Autumn Term and celebrate their learning with their family. It was lovely to see how much knowledge they had remembered about the Second World War. Each and every child who attended their SLCs did such an amazing job and we are exceptionally proud of them all. We cannot wait to see what happens during our Spring Term.

Thank you to all those who attended, we hope you enjoyed them as much as we did.

Keep up the great work LKS2!

LKS2 Hook Week

17th January 2023Catherine Flaherty

During our hook week, the children in LKS2 enjoyed learning about what plants needs to survive and of course the different parts of a flowering plant. They even planted their very own seed, we cannot wait to watch them grow.

We also learned about sustainability and shared the different ways that we can be more sustainable at school and at home. The children created some eye catching posters to remind others as well as making their own pledge. It was wonderful to see the children share their praises and notices for each other’s posters. The children were eager to share their ideas and they could explain how some small changes can make a big difference.

Arithmetic fun in MI

17th January 2023Stacey McClare

Wow, wow, wow!!!! What a fantastic afternoon we had in MI consolidating some of the arithmetic skills we needed more practice on. Yesterday we unpicked our test paper, looking at different examples together and we also used each other as effective coaches. Today we applied what we had practised yesterday and took part in a carousel of activities to really challenge our arithmetic skills. We rotated round a variety of fraction stations, decimal stations and also looked at different written methods. We were given a partner who we had to support throughout the afternoon and what a fantastic job we all did. Some amazing learning and such wonderful positive attitudes were shown throughout. I am incredibly proud of the learning that took place!

SLC praise in MI

Well done to everyone in MI who has now delivered their Student Led Conference. Myself and Mrs Ibbotson are so incredibly proud of each and every one of you. Your hard work and dedication really did pay off and we both loved listening to you all reflecting on your achievements and challenging yourself further. You should all be super proud of yourselves.
