Today it was Jake who delivered our Magic Maths! He did an incredible job of supporting his peers and ensuring that all of his crew knew what they were doing and understood the skills involved! He moved around the groups constantly checking in with everyone and supported them with their Bodmas knowledge in arithmetic!

Another superstar in the making!

I am so incredibly proud of the children in Crew Knowles – well done!

Yesterday, Lexi delivered Magic Maths to the rest of her crew whilst I worked with a group and she did an absolutely awesome job! She worked her way through counting, times tables, place value and arithmetic whilst providing support and models for her peers!

Well done Lexi – you’re a star!

This week in Crew Knowles we have continued the theme of anti bullying from last week. We have looked at ways to protect ourselves from bullying as well as ways in which we can protect ourselves on the internet. I was really impressed with how mature and articulate the children were when discussing their thoughts and ideas.

Today Crew Knowles did their first draft of the Azuma train which will feature on our upcoming product! I was really impressed with their observation skills to draw the train accurately and in proportion. They drew the train using the skill of perspective and really used their knowledge of horizon lines and vanishing points.

The children then anonymously critiqued each others pictures so that we could continue to improve our first draft. Well done guys!

Crew Knowles have done an awesome job editing and improving their writing today ready for their final touchdowns. They have worked so hard to include all of the features of a formal piece of writing and I can’t wait to read the final version!
