Crew Mumby have had a great start to year 4 with 2 fantastic days so far. I have been impressed by their kindness to each other and their attitude to bonding as a newly formed crew. This week we have taken part in team building activities, created norms based on how we want our class to work and completed work to a high quality.
The pictures below show Tuesday’s crew challenge- ‘The Leaning Tower of Feetza’. The task was to create the tallest tower from shoes!
keep your eyes peeled on the blog for outstandingly amazing work produced by my crew this week!
Can you make a paper cup tower without touching the cups? Well that was today’s challenge in Crew Mumby….
The newly formed Crew Mumby demonstrated some superb communication skills along with teamwork this morning during our ‘cup challenge’ activity. I was particularly impressed with the children’s resilience if the tower fell. I am pleased to say that all groups managed to construct a large tower! Well done all, our challenge tomorrow is the spaghetti tower!!

As part of this week’s community crew, we wanted to take part in ‘national walking month’. We talked about the benefits of walking from a health aspect to our mental health. As you can see from the pictures we certainly enjoyed the fresh air, sunshine and time to chat. Great work team year 4.
A big well done to Lola, Dexter, Brooklyn, Bradley, Faith, Dante and Marcie for completing today’s 100g challenge. It is super that you have engaged with maths week! We’ve got flour, icing sugar, rice, pasta, cereal, dice and of course some lovely grapes!
WOW! Well done to everyone who took the time to celebrate maths by photographing maths in our community! We have some wonderful examples that I can’t wait to display around school.
Here are a few examples:
We will share more as the week goes on!
Wednesday’s maths challenge:
What does 100 grams look like? Can you measure out 100g into a food bag and bring it to school? Last year we looked at what 100 looks like and it will be great to compare 100 and 100g!
Don’t forget Friday’s maths challenge is our Maths Dress up day! We are raising money for NSPCC and our target is £500! We are asking for a donation of £1 (minimum).
Thank you once again for supporting our maths week! We have started well!
