Y5/6 Community Crew Celebrations

9th June 2022Rebecca Knowles

We had a lovely community crew today celebrating lots of successes! We heard some great shoutouts and appreciations for each other and learnt who was winning the Accelerated Reader competition!

Check out some of our Star Reader’s here:

We also had lots of HoWLs point winners for the children who have worked hard, being kind and got smart this week!

Finally, we celebrated our new ‘Out of this World’ children who will receive the yellow tshirt to wear this week! Congratulations to all the winners – it is thoroughly deserved!

Crew Knowles: We are presenters!

After we completed our fantastic research about some of history’s deadliest pandemics, we then presented our findings to the rest of our crew.

Each group were able to present their research however they wanted. As a result, we had slides, written presentations, a live stream and a video! I was so impressed with the creativity and thought that went in to each presentation and the children gained so much knowledge!

Crew Knowles: Queen Martindale!

26th May 2022Rebecca Knowles

This week, in the run up to the Queen’s Jubilee, we have pretended to be the queen and written letters to invite all of our loyal citizens to the jubilee celebrations!

We have had to use some really formal vocabulary and try to get in to the mindset of a royal! I am so proud of how hard everyone has worked on their writing over the past couple of weeks!

Sophia sent me a video of herself reading out her letter (hat included!) and I loved it so much I just had to share it with everyone!

Also, here’s our lovely crew wearing red, white and blue to celebrate the jubilee!

Crew Knowles: we are researchers!

25th May 2022Rebecca Knowles

Crew Knowles are really enjoying learning all about the plague and it’s gruesome symptoms! We have furthered our learning today by researching other deadly outbreaks throughout history including Spanish Flu, Covid-19, Smallpox and Cholera.

I can’t wait for each group to share their research and learning tomorrow.

Y5/6 Family Learning!

24th May 2022Rebecca Knowles

Wow! Year 5/6 had such a lovely Family Learning event this afternoon! They were each able to choose an activity to participate in and each activity linked to our current expedition about looking after our minds and bodies.

The activities on offer were Zumba, football rounders, tag rugby, bench ball, outdoor cooking and making healthy meals!

It looked like all the children and adults were having lots of fun and it was great to see the adult participation. Thank you to all that attended and we hope you enjoyed it!

Y5/6 – Ready Steady Cook!

24th May 2022Jillian Jackson

This afternoon in Y5/6 Family Learning the children took part in different activities linked to our expedition. I enjoyed hosting a Ready Steady Cook challenge and we had a fantastic time creating healthy and creative dishes. Well done everyone – I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!

Crew Knowles: Lilly-Grace!

19th May 2022Rebecca Knowles

We are currently learning about the plague and medieval medicines which Lilly-Grace has a fantastic knowledge of! She created a fantastic set of slides at home to share with her crew this morning. They were really helpful and allowed us all to learn something new!

Thank you Lilly-Grace!
