In our arithmetic session today, Crew Hamill have been focusing on one of our gaps in learning that we identified from last week’s arithmetic test. We looked at multiplying 2 digit numbers by 1 digit numbers and recapped how to do this using the column method. Some of us even moved on to 3 digit by 1 digit!
Today, Crew Hamill pushed their learning of time to the next level by focusing on the 5 minute intervals on an analogue clock. We practised our 5 times tables to ensure we were secure in counting in 5s and then repeated this up to 60 as there are 60 minutes in an hour. We focused on the blue hand being our minute hand and the red hand being our hour hand and used this to show different times using the 5 minute intervals.
Today, Crew Hamill learned how to take part in a patrol. We discussed that this was about walking together, with a shared mission, but keeping far enough apart to protect others in our patrol team and ensure we weren’t being followed. We then had to patrol through our outdoor area and hunt for objects that had been hidden around. This meant we had to use our observational skills and really concentrate on the patrol we were taking as some of them were extremely tricky to spot! A big shout out to Taylor for earning Scotty’s Hero for this week!
Today our crew challenge was the Leaning Tower of Feetza.
The children worked in small groups to build the tallest freestanding tower using only their shoes. It was lovely to see them all working together and supporting each other even if it was a little smelly afterwards!!
We love our weekly guitar lessons 🙂
Well done to everyone who joined me this morning to showcase their beautiful work 🙂
Practise, practise, practise! Crew Godley have been trying so hard to develop their handwriting skills, making sure our letters are formed from the correct point, sat on the line and have correct ascenders and descenders. It’s a lot to remember but we are stating to see some real improvements!
Year Two took a lovely scenic walk up to our local church at Owston to complete our first case study in Christianity. Along the way we ensured we were stewards of our local area and collected litter, we were praised by the public for our lovely manners and care to our community. When we arrived at the church we were excited to explore the grounds and noticed lots of old artefacts which dated back to 1086, Owston Church we discovered was also mentioned in the Doomsday Book. A fantastic piece of history, right on our doorstep!
Consolidating lots of our maths learning 🙂
