Tuesday’s Maths Challenge – Maths is everywhere!!!

By Kelly Overson4th May 2021

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!

Classroom Immersion: World War 2

By Chris Mumby17th April 2021

The children have been busy creating the most amazing classroom environment ready for our new expedition: ‘Why is it important to share different stories about World War 2?’.

Check out our awesome anchor charts to build background knowledge!

By Chris Mumby17th April 2021

Crew Mumby did an amazing job of creating anchor charts based on what caused World War 2; they used sources of evidence carefully and clearly summarised the main points that we discovered. We’ve had a brilliant week during hook week and the activities we’ve done have helped us build up our background knowledge ready to take on case study one! Well done Crew- this is going to be an amazing expedition!

Another crew challenge ✅

By Chris Mumby20th March 2021

Yesterday, Crew Mumby were challenged with placing the pen in the pot by only using their bodies, string and most importantly communication. The activity was a fantastic way to end our extended crew sessions and I feel that we’ve learnt lots about how we can use these skills in our daily lives.

Next week we are going to use crew to discuss and take part in well-being activities and unpick why it’s important to take care of ourselves. The guiding question is ‘What has the pandemic taught us about the importance of crew?’
