Bite back!
Some of the year 6 girls have shown a real passion and interest in marine conservation this week. They have been educating Crew Knowles all about why it is important to protect the oceans, they have been helping to change the public perception of sharks, and they are promoting others to have compassion for the environment. They have then created their own posters to display around school to help raise awareness. I am really impressed with the dedication and passion which the girls have shown so I just wanted to share their hard work. 🙂
100% Attendance!
Here are Crew Knowles’ 100% attendees for last term! Well done guys! Let’s see how many of us can attend for 100% of the time this term!
Picasso in the making? Maybe not!
One of our crew activities last week involved working in pairs and clear communication! One person had to give instructions on how to draw the image on the board whilst the other person had to follow the instructions and draw it.
The communication definitely got better and I was really impressed with how close some of the drawings were to the actual image. Lots of fun was definitely had by all!
Awesome Arithmetic!
The Year 6 children are working so hard revising for their upcoming assessments. Last week, we looked at consolidating our arithmetic skills and had lots of fun whilst doing it!
Times Tables Rock Stars day!!! (International dance day) – Friday 29th April
On Friday the 29th April, we will be having a rock star dress up day in years 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1. Times Tables Rock Stars is an excellent site which helps children practice and improve their times tables. All children in these year groups have a login. To promote it’s use across school, we are encouraging children to dress up as rock stars on the above date. Not only will children have the opportunity to use this site on this day, we will be linking it to International Dance day which falls on the same date. Therefore, in the afternoon, children will also be dancing and crews will be making ‘rock-style’ music videos. Pictures and videos of the day will be blogged by each crew.
Red Nose Day 🔴
Well done to the winners of the ‘Design a Red Nose’ competition! There were some fantastic entries but the school council voted and decided that these would be the winning entries. Well done to all who submitted an entry.
We are also pleased to announce that the school managed to sell £300 worth of red noses in the run up to the event before raising a further £301.58 through donations when wearing something red. Thank you to every one for your generous donations!
Place Value Confidence
Crew Knowles practised some of their place value skills today online and did a fab job! They worked collaboratively to work out the answers and consolidated their knowledge of place value. Well done – you have all worked so hard!
Y6 Maths Support
Mr Mumby has made a fantastic maths website to support the Y6 children with their arithmetic skills.
On the website you will find lots of models to help the children with some of the different arithmetic skills that can be a bit tricky – there are also lots of practise questions to try afterwards.
All of our monthly arithmetic tests are also on the website so why not have a go at improving your score!

If there is anything that you cannot access, please let the Year 6 teachers know 🙂
Y5/6 Celebration of Learning
A huge well done to Y5/6 who shared their expedition learning this afternoon in the sunshine! They presented their gorgeous art work in their photo frames which were handmade by themselves!
I was also so proud of their passionate speeches about endangered animals and it was lovely to see how proud all of the children were when they saw their product hung up around the school grounds!
