For crew challenge, we made letters using our bodies. We had to work collaboratively with our partner and show perseverance when things got tricky.
Crew Challenge!
Writing
Yesterday and today we have been looking at describing who and doing. They children diod really well with this and they showed me that they are working hard.
The Triangle of Risk
Today in Crew Godley we have begun to explore staying safe on the road, this is everyone’s job! By using the ‘Triangle of Risk’ we have discovered that road safety has three important parts – the road, the vehicle, and the person.
- The Road – Is it wet or dry? Busy or quiet? Are there signs and crossings to help us stay safe?
- The Vehicle – Is it working properly? Are seatbelts on? Are bikes and scooters in good condition?
- The Person – Are we paying attention? Wearing a helmet? Following the rules and making safe choices?
We explored these three sides to see how their actions matter. Even small safe choices – like looking both ways, wearing a helmet and putting your phone away!
Multiplication Fun In Crew Ramsay
We have been learning about the 2 times tables using bricks to visualise what this looks like. We noticed doubles! We then wrote out the abstract form and noticed the commutativity of multiplication… check us out!
Arithmetic Challenge
Today to consolidate our maths learning we made our own arithmetic challenges for our friends to complete! We then had to check our friend’s answers!
Final Product Preparations
Today we began thinking about the designs we want to include on our final product.
I can’t wait to see the end designs!
Memory in Action
For this week’s crew challenge, Crew McLoughlin and Crew Gray worked on strengthening their memory skills. They were given 15 seconds to carefully observe a selection of objects on the board before they were covered up. The children then had to recall and list as many items as they could remember. It was wonderful to see their focus, teamwork, and determination as they challenged themselves to improve each round.
Exploring Our Features: Self-Portrait Drafting
Today Crew Gray have been drafting their Tudor self-portraits, focusing carefully on our eyes, nose, mouth, and eyebrows. The children have been learning about proportion and placement, noticing the small details that make their faces unique. It has been lovely to see their concentration and growing confidence as their portraits begin to reflect who they are as Tudors.
Waking up our brains!
We began our first week back after the half-term holidays by waking up our brains with an 8 minute HIIT (high intensity interval training) activity! 35 seconds of work followed by 25 seconds of rest got us warmed up for the day ahead.
Becoming Hans Holbein the Younger
This week, we started our Case Study 3 Art study of our current expedition. With a focus on proportion and creating beautiful work, Crew White have stepped back in time to the Tudor Court.
Our current task is to create portraits of ourselves at Tudors using significant artist, Hans Holbein, as inspiration. Stay tuned over the next few weeks to see our progress.
