Y6 Crew Week = Complete!

Year 6 have hit the ground running this week, throwing themselves into exploring our core character traits through a variety of hands-on tasks. Class 6CC have bonded brilliantly, and watching pupils collaborate so seamlessly across their crews has been a true highlight.

Among the pupil favorites were ‘courage charades’ and a collaborative crew graffiti project, where each child crafted an individual oil pastel piece to build a vibrant mural now displayed in the Year 5/6 corridor. Demonstrating incredible determination, the children also tackled a massive crew challenge—walking, jogging, and running laps of the field to push their collective limits. Together, they logged an average of 880 laps (66 km) per class, reaching a staggering combined total of 265 km! That is the equivalent of scaling the height of some of the world’s highest mountain peaks.

For Mrs Blunt and me, it has been wonderful getting to know the children we haven’t previously taught, while watching familiar faces continue to grow and express themselves. We are both thoroughly looking forward to the exciting year ahead with this incredible group!

Year 4 Crew Week Teamwork!

This week, Year 4 celebrated the First Week Back through undertaking the challenge of answering the Crew Guiding Question of, ‘How can Crew work together to achieve an end goal?’. To answer this, Year 4 decided that spreading kindness would be our end goal! We would achieve this by baking a range of treats to take home and gift to parents and carers, and to also create a range of ‘Kindness Cards’ to spread to children in our school. Year 4 showed great craftsmanship and quality to create such beautiful creations and bring smiles to the faces of many! Well done Year 4 on a lovely start to the year!

Multiplying our Maths Skills!

Recently, 3TE have been actively traversing around the classroom to solve a range of mathematical problems. Our mathematical movement has engaged our minds and worked our brains and ensured our mathematical abilities continue to expand, multiply, enlarge… and however many more mathematical synonyms for increasing you can think of!

Divide and Conquer!

This week, 3TE have been developing their division skills with a variety of challenges, including this particular activity where the children were traversing around the room solving a variety of problems using a newly discovered method. The children have since expanded this knowledge even further with addtional methods and even harder problems. Keep up making those division discoveries!

Magnificent Mathematical Treasure Hunt!

This week, Year 3 were given a secret mission… Treasure had been stolen and hidden somewhere in school! The Year 3 children were tasked to use their multiplication skills in order to solve a range of questions, crack a code and figure out where the treasure was hidden! These super sleuths were courageous, resilient and showed great endevour to find the treasure. Well done all of your delightful detectives!

3SG Maths Treasure Hunt!

This week 3SG have had such a wonderful time learning about the grid method for multiplication in maths. To celebrate their success, we had a little treasure hunt, where the children not only had to complete some hard hitting equations, but then break the code to find the hidden treasure too! Much fun was had 😀

Christmas Crafts

Our classroom was full of festive cheer today as children — together with their parents — spent the afternoon creating handmade Christmas tree decorations! 🧵⭐

The children proudly used their sewing skills and it was lovely to see families working side-by-side, stitching, designing, and sharing in the holiday spirit. The ornaments turned out beautifully and the smiles said it all.

A huge thank-you to all the parents who joined us and made the afternoon even more special! ❤️🎅
