Crew SB – 1/10/21

1st October 2021Ruth Shields

it’s been a busy week in Crew SB as we have been preparing for the next take of plot points in writing. This has involved the children collecting lots of vocabulary to describe different aspects of the Harry Potter film. They are now prepared for the plot points next week. We’re excited to read their writing as it’s lovely to see their personality shine through

In Cojo, they have been working on their communication and observational skills. This was a very successful week for them as they worked collaboratively to complete the activity to the best of their ability. They supported each other and ensured used their communication skills effectively.

We have been developing our computing skills this week which has involved becoming more familiar with the Scratch programme. Working in pairs, they had to create their own background and spite in preparation for developing an algorithm to move the sprite.

Have a lovely weekend.

Yet again it has been another busy week.

In writing, we have been finishing our narrative about the raid in Lindisfarne. The children have worked hard to include fronted adverbial, conjunctions and similes 😀. We have been very lucky to share some of our lovely writing with the children in year 4.

In maths, we have been learning how to add 2d and 3d numbers using the column method. We are so proud of the children with the resilience to persevere when they have found this tricky.

Our crew average has improved as the week has gone on. Let’s hope we continue our positive attitude and listening skills next week.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend

#HelloYellow #MentalWellbeing

#HelloYellow is a big campaign, taking place every year on World Mental Health Day.

We’re encouraging our children and staff to all wear something yellow to help show all young people they’re not alone with their mental health. To support the mental wellbeing of our young pupils in the school we’re asking for a voluntary contribution of £1.

Dig out your yellow socks, neon tutu, bright scarf and join us in saying #HelloYellow Friday 8th October. This is non uniform day – so be as yellow as you dare!

School photographs

Tempest photographers will be in school on Tuesday 5th October. All children will have their photograph taken individually, along with their siblings within school. A proof will be sent home at a later date with your child if you wish to purchase. There is no obligation to buy. Unfortunately on this occasion we cannot accommodate siblings from home.
