We have been learning new skills in year 6 during our expedition – case study 3 ‘computing’. We have been coding and debugging – very technical! It has been great fun grappling with the codes and identifying the bugs within them. We have learnt how specific and detailed codes need to be when controlling inputs and outputs in order for them to complete actions you require. The year 6 staff are very impressed with our little computing experts this week!
In Crew today, the children were working in groups to stack the cups on top of one another. Their challenge was to make sure that they were working as a team in order to carefully lift and place the cups using the string and elastic band. The task required them to have patience and communication to ensure that they weren’t causing the stack to fall. It was fantastic to see how well they worked together as a group.
Hello
Please find attached the google form for week 2 of our John o Groats to Lands End challenge. I will update the map on Monday evening so it gives everyone time to send their steps in. Good luck and keep those steps up!
This week, the crew were challenged to flip the sheet of tarpaulin without any of them touching the floor. After realising that the challenge was not as easy as first thought, they eventually worked together as a team to discuss different strategies to complete the task. It was really good to hear some of the different reflections and discussions that took place amongst the crew members.
As part of our online safety lessons, the children have been writing and recording their own news scripts around e-Safety and some of the many dangers that can be found online. Full videos of the children reading their scripts will follow shortly!
Hi Crew Taylor,
This is just a quick update to let you all know how happy we are to welcome you back into school on Monday. It seems like such a long time since a lot of you were last in but hopefully now we can get back to some kind of normality.
I’ve got to say as well how pleased I have been with both those who have been in school throughout this and those that have been accessing their work online on a regular basis. You have really done yourselves proud. Well done!
Hope you all have a great weekend and we will see you all soon!

Here is a sneak peek of our Masked Reader!
Coming 4th March …
Throughout March, as a school we are planning to walk from John o Groats to Lands end and back! That’s 1,748 miles!
If my calculations are correct as a school we only need to do 110,505 steps a day! Easy!
So charge up your fit bits and smart watches and get your walking shoes ready!
At the end of the week complete the google form that I have attached to this blog and we will record your steps. There will be weekly prizes in school for most steps in a week and all school staff will be getting involved too.
Good luck and I hope you enjoy the challenge
