Crew Knowles enjoyed practising their times tables through playing different style games. It was a fun way to engage the children in practising the tables they are unfamiliar with as well as it being a nice activity for early birds club!

Y6 – Peer Critique
Crew Knowles worked hard to peer critique their writing touchdowns using the rubrics to support. They edited and improved their writing and added in lots of new features to enhance their writing. The speeches that they have written are about deforestation and have been written from the perspective of an endangered animal – some of them definitely make you think twice about protecting our planet!
Y5/6 Celebration of learning
Just a reminder to Y5/6 parents that our celebration of learning event will be going ahead on Monday from 1:30. Our celebration will take place on the KS2 playground. The children’s picture frames will be available for donation and all proceeds will be going to The World Wildlife Fund.

Y6 Crucial Crew!
Y6 visited the Lifewise Centre today to participate in the Crucial Crew programme. The Lifewise Centre provides the children with essential knowledge and skills to be able to keep safe in the local community.
Some of the different scenarios included road safety, transport safety, fire safety and a mock trial in a Magistrates’ Court! All of the scenarios are taught by volunteering experts from South Yorkshire Police, South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue and the South Yorkshire Safer Roads Partnership.
The children participated in all of the scenarios showing real maturity and thoughtfulness – well done guys 🙂
Y6 Family Learning
We had a lovely afternoon welcoming parents back in to school for family learning after such a long time!
We created posters in the style of Keith Haring to promote looking after out planet which links nicely to our expedition ‘How can we help the world we live in?’
There were some really positive finished posters!
We then had a very competitive game of Kahoot all about rainforests – I was really impressed with some of the answers! A huge well done to Jaiden and his dad for winning! Closely followed by Lexi, Lilly and her mum! Well done guys!
Thank you to all of the adults that came to join in with our learning! We hope you had fun!
Red Nose Day Crew
Crew Knowles enjoyed a crews session looking at Red Nose Day and why we raise money. We then entered the School Council’s competition by designing our own red noses! There were lots of great entries – fingers crossed for a prize!
Design and Technology
Year 6 have really been enjoying making their wooden photo frames to showcase their artwork! I am so impressed with the skills and team work that has been shown. Everyone has been so careful and responsible around the tools and were are in the process of creating some beautiful frames!
We still have lots more to make so watch out for more photographs!
Awesome Arithmetic!
Crew Knowles enjoyed an arithmetic afternoon practising different skills including Roman Numerals, converting fractions, times tables and converting measures. Wow, what a variety!
Y6 are researchers!
As part of our English cycle we completed our reading lesson today which involved researching and retrieving information from some given websites.
In particular, we were looking at poison dart frogs, orangutans and tigers – did you know these animals are endangered?
Look out for our upcoming art work and speeches which will involve these animals!
Grappling with ratio
Crew Knowles have grappled with the new skill of ratio this morning. They enjoyed looking at ratios and realising that it involved a lot of times tables knowledge!
