Maths Week Continued!

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!

Crew Wellbeing

It was really lovely to discuss wellbeing with year 6 today.  We explored the meaning of wellbeing, talked about the things we can do to keep a healthy body and mind and explored a range of emotions.

It was lovely to listen to how we manage our feelings and the impact we can have on each other. The children were so mature, supportive and understanding of each other and supported each other in thinking about the people around us that can support us.

We are Historians!

During our expedition lesson today we have been researching some of the people who have influenced the history of British rail. These people included George Stephenson, Richard Trevithick, James Watt and Nigel Gresley. I was so impressed with the research that my crew carried out and the facts that they discovered!

Who were the experts?

This afternoon, the children have been researching some of the people who played a significant role in the development of railways throughout the Industrial Revolution. We have looked at four different people from various periods of history: James Watt, Richard Trevithick, George Stephenson and Sir Nigel Gresley. Each one contributed massively towards the development of the rail industry we can see today.
