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.

High Speed Rail – First draft!
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!
Peer Critique
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!
Children In Need!
Bodmas fun!
Today in Year 6 we have been looking at using BODMAS / BIDMAS to ensure that we are working out our calculations in the correct order!
It’s quite a tricky concept but Crew Knowles really grappled with it – well done!
Lexi’s One Kind Word
I love Lexi’s one kind word that she chose for anti-bullying week because she linked it to our learning on one point perspective! It’s great how she has made her word 3D using a horizon line and a vanishing point! Well done Lexi!

Anti-Bullying Week
This week has been anti-bullying week and we have acknowledged it by wearing odd socks, holding anti-bullying crew sessions and thinking about ‘one kind word’.
Crew Knowles loved coming up with their kind words and thinking about how they might brighten someone else’s day.
Next week we will be celebrating Children in Need on Thursday 18th November!
Thursday will be a dress up day where we are inviting children to wear something spotty and bright coloured! Any donations on the dress up day for Children in Need will be gratefully received.
Our school council are also holding a couple of competitions which will be running next week.
- Drawing of Pudsey competition
- Design a Children in Need T-shirt
The Learning Council members really enjoyed visiting the Year 5/6 classrooms yesterday to watch maths in actions! They captured lots of lovely learning happening which you can check out below!
Also, a big thank you to all those that have taken part in our ‘guess the sweets’ activity! We will be visiting EYFS on Friday to take their guesses and then will reveal the winner next week! The Learning Council can’t wait!
Today we introduced our art case study by looking at perspective and how to create 3D shapes from different perspectives.
We started the lesson by grappling with the skill trying to write our names using 3D letters. We then started to perfect the skill using the accurate technique,
Great job everyone!
