It’s been so much fun investigating music through the decades today. We’ve worked collaboratively to create mood boards about a specific song from each year. It was fab to see you all appreciating different musical styles and notice how its developed over the years! Well done guys! Mrs Faulding x

Yorkshire Wildlife Park Visit
The below will hopefully answer any questions which parents/carers may have about the visit which were not outlined on the letter that was recently sent out.
- We would like children to wear school uniform as this will make it easier to supervise and group children. It is also practical for the cold weather and walking around the park (We do advise comfy footwear – trainers are fine).
- We will be visiting the gift shop. The maximum children are allowed to bring is £10. Children do not have to bring spending money though – it is optional.
- All children will need a thick winter coat (hat, scarf and gloves) as we will be walking around the park either side of the workshops.
Thank you,
Mr Oldridge
Year 4’s Music Day!
We’ve had a fab day hooking in to our music case study today. It’s been amazing! Huge well done to everyone on making such an effort with their pop star/rockstar costumes.
We loved singing this afternoon in our karaoke session too. We’ve certainly got some potential superstars in the future! Miss Myer’s will blog some photos from this later. Really proud of you all for getting up and joining in. Thank you all for a wonderful day!
What is beautiful in our community?
Year 4 have kick started Hook Week with a lovely walk around our community today.
We focussed on what is beautiful in our community and what we think is spoiling it.
The children were really reflective in their responses and also enjoyed the fresh air chatting and catching up after Christmas! There was a lovely, buzzing Crew spirit today!
The children then made pledges about what they are going to do to keep our local community beautiful! Super start Year 4!
Y5/6 visit to Tropical World
Unfortunately the dates for the year 5 and 6 visits to Tropical World have been changed due to staffing and ratios. The visits will now take place later in this half term, a new date will be communicated this week. Thanks

Gingerbread House Art!
The children in Year 4 carefully followed a ‘YouTube step by step tutorial’ to create their very own and just look at the final product. The quality of them all is absolutely outstanding and will most definitely make the perfect centrepiece alongside everyone’s Christmas decorations at home! Well done everyone, myself and Miss Myers are so proud of you all!

Touching down in Reading!
It was reading touchdown time yesterday and I was so proud of Crew Faulding! Despite it being Christmas time, the children maintained their focus and absolutely smashed it!

Football fun in PE!
The children have created a critique that they wanted to share;
I notice- we have learnt how to do high touches and low touches
we have learnt how to pass the ball closer and further
I praise- we now feel confident to collaborate with bigger groups to master these skills.
we have remembered the importance of looking up
I wonder- if we can get smart by remembering all of the skills we’ve practised this term and always remember to keep moving, be open and find space.
