Today in our expedition lesson, we discussed what a flood is and explained why floods happen. A flood is a type of extreme weather. Flooding happens when there is heavy rainfall in a short amount of time. We identified the human and physical factors that cause floods such as deforestation, using concrete to build and steep slopes. We created a poster that informed us on what a flood is and the different causes of flooding. 🌧 💧
On Thursday, we celebrated the children in Crew Pashley who have been reading everyday. We celebrated by going outside on the scooters in the sunshine. With our mini first aider, Jenson, keeping everyone safe and keeping plasters close by!
Yesterday, we created our own water cycle wheel. We explained the part played by condensation and precipitation in the water cycle. We then explained the process of condensation and precipitation within the water cycle and how they are a reversible process. 🌧️🌦️
This afternoon, we planted our own pea seed! We followed the instructions carefully and filled out our plant planner. We can’t wait to watch our pea grow and fill in our planner! 🌱
In expedition today, we set up our evaporation experiment! We can’t wait to check back in a few days to see what has happened and see if our predictions were correct! 👀
To celebrate Healthy Eating Week, everybody in Year 3 and 4 designed a new Aldi truck to align with their competition in partnership with the Olympics. Across Year 3 and 4, everybody designed a truck for our own mini competition. Everyone worked hard to create a healthy food truck, with unique and wonderful designs which made it hard to choose a favourite from each crew! Well done all of Year 3 and 4!

What a great, fun filled Friday we have had in Crew Thompson today celebrating pyjamarama day! 🤩
After break, we visited Starbooks! ☕🧋 We got to choose a drink off the menu and sit down to read a book! It was lovely to see the children enjoying the book and read for pleasure. They even got to review the book and say whether they would recommend it or not!
Before lunch, we completed a kahoot quiz which is something our crew really enjoy doing. We had one that tested our knowledge on a range of books we have read and spoken about!
After lunch, we read a story called “A Monster’s Surprise”. We choose some characters to put in the hot seat and ask a few questions! We also did some freeze frames to show the different parts of the story.
After all our hard work, we went outside to read our class shared read with an ice lolly! 🍦 We loved sitting in the shade and listening to Miss Lee read Charlie and the Chocolate factory … we are just getting to the good bit! 📖
As part of ‘National Healthy Eating Week’ and to celebrate the countdown to Paris 2024, Aldi, Team GB and ParalympicsGB are challenging young people aged 5–14 to get creative and design a lorry that inspires people to enjoy healthy, sustainable food. Therefore, in crew this morning we all designed our own lorries! We thought about writing, colours and suitable images to capture peoples’ attention. At the end of the session we critiqued each others and offered notices, wonders and praises! Mrs Pashley has also been tasked with choosing a winner 🌟 from each crew in LKS2! All shall be revealed in crew tomorrow…
Today was our last Community Meeting where it will just be us! Next week, we are very much looking forward to welcoming some of our grown ups into our Community Meetings so that we can share all of our amazing learning, celebrations, praises and appreciations!
This week we had lots to celebrate! We celebrated all of those children who took part in our Rounders Competition. Well done everyone! We are all so proud of you! 🏆
We also celebrated all of those children in each crew who read at home the most! 📚 This week’s winning crew was Crew Thompson with a total of 6 crew members reading 5 times last week! Amazing work! 🌟 I wonder which crew will take the crown next week?! 👑 We also celebrated our ‘Star Readers’ who will get to enjoy breakfast with Mrs Atherton next week! 🥐🥤
It was also nice this week to celebrate some of the children’s achievements out of school. This week we had two girls in Crew Thompson who proudly shared their medals 🥇from a recent football ⚽ tournament, where they came first! 🌟 A fantastic achievement! Well done girls! 👏
An amazing week! 🌟 We look forward to sharing more next week!
As part of crew today, we discussed how it is healthy eating week and what this means to us.
