During yesterday’s crew session, year 3 had a lovely time eating delicious pancakes. It was a tough choice between Nutella, golden syrup, strawberry syrup or lemon with a sprinkle of sugar. Which topping is your favourite?

Charity Pyjama Day
Last Friday, our school took part in a pyjama day to raise funds for The Children’s Hospital Charity. We all loved rolling straight out of bed and heading into school. We designed our own onesies too!

Children’s Mental Health Week
To promote Children’s Mental Health Week all crews in Year 3 played a couple of games of ’Let’s Connect Bingo’. It was lovely to see children connecting with each other, finding others with shared interests, building new friendships and most importantly having fun! And yes – Mrs Gill loves pepperoni pizza!
Young Voices 2023
Last week myself and Miss Gate had the absolute please of taking these wonder children to the Utilita Arena in Sheffield for this years Young Voices concert. Each and every child sang from their heart and were exceptionally well behaved. It was such a fantastic night and all staff couldn’t have been prouder!
Metres for the whiteboard, centimetres for our books! 📏✏️📘
Perimeter practical!
Year 6 began the week by investigating perimeter and took to measuring the perimeter of rectilinear shapes in the classroom using a variety of equipment. After recapping units of measurement and how some units were best suited for particular contexts (such as km for measuring the distance from school to the local Coop and centimetres for the length of a pencil), the children began to explore perimeter practically. They measured the perimeter of their books whiteboards, boxes, tables, joined tables and much more. Great effort, 6CC!
Year 6 Basketball Tournament
6EG and 6CC took to the courts on Wednesday morning for a basketball tournament to culminate their PE topic. Skills that had been taught through the sequence were on show with children also demonstrating leadership and sportsmanship qualities by motivating and celebrating team members!
Crucial Crew 2023
Year 6 took the annual trip to Crucial Crew in Rotherham to learn about important life scenarios and emergencies. Throughout the day, children were invited to take part in dramatisations and problem solve, with support from specialist instructors from the police and fire service.
Promoting Mental Wellbeing
This half term during our Wise Wednesday crew sessions, Year 3 have been focussing on Mental Wellbeing. The children have spent time discussing different emotions, how we can understand them and how they can effect our behaviour. These beautiful mindfulness colouring sheets brought calm into our classroom this morning and were coloured in beautifully. We cant wait to get them displayed around school.
6CC Globetrotters learn to master fractions, decimals and percentages!
In this week’s PE session, 6CC were focused on improving their passing skills and pass selection in game situations. After practising the passes in small sided games, the children began discussing and mentoring each other to make better choices when passing the ball. This culminated in the ballers applying their learning to a small sided tournament where successful passing and receiving were rewarded more than scoring!
Maths has centred around the relationship between fractions, decimals and percentages this week with the children learning to convert between the three forms. In today’s lesson, they mentored each other through the conversion process before undertaking an FDP trail, which practised a variety of fraction content learnt thus far. Top effort from all in 6CC as nearly all completed their chosen difficulty whilst others grappled with tricky SATs questions to extend their learning! #MathsTalk
