Today in Expedition we used our reading skills to retrieve information and build our background knowledge on the evolution of trains. Great work guys – you worked incredibly hard.

Y5&6 Girls Football
Well done to all the girls who took part in the Thorne pyramid tournament last night at Trinity. It was great to see all the girls enjoying themselves and scoring some wonderful goals. Well done girls, there will be another tournament coming up in the Summer!
Y6 Athletics Champs!
Well done to our Y6 athletes who qualified for the Doncaster finals yesterday at Trinity!
Y5/6 Family Learning
Next week is our Y5/6 family learning session on Tuesday 6th February at 2pm. Please sign in at the office where you will be greeted by our student ambassadors. Don’t forget to bring your artistic flair!
Crew Jackson – Constructing ideas in English
This morning, the children worked collaboratively to share and construct ideas to support them in their writing. Well done everyone – you showed a great understanding of Jim’s feelings when he was first in the workhouse.
Year 5/6 – Community Meeting!
On Monday, we had our first Community Crew Meeting since Christmas, it was lovely to see everyone together again and celebrate the great start to our learning in Spring term!
A huge shout out to everyone who received HOWL point certificates and especially our Crew Champions! An added shout out to Miss Barnett’s Crew for their impressive Howl point total!! I wonder if anyone will top it next week?!
Year 6 – Get ready for Year 7 maths
This morning Year 6 had a teacher from Trinity come and lead a maths session on simple algebra. It was fantastic to hear what a great impression the children made on their potential secondary school maths teacher; they demonstrated a hard-working attitude and a high level of respect. Well done everyone!
Crew Jackson – Clean water challenge!
This afternoon, the children worked in teams to see if they could turn their bottle of water into the cleanest. They all rose to the challenge – applying their scientific knowledge on separating materials from last week. It was a close competition!
Well done to Ronnie, Amy, Georgia and India who finished first as they had the most cleanest water left at the end due to no spillages!
Crew Jackson – Science Investigations
This morning we explored different techniques for separating mixtures. By carrying out two investigations, we found out more about filtration and evaporation. Before carrying out the investigation, the children were mystified as to how salt could be recovered from water once it had dissolved and become a solution. They have now solved the mystery!
Crew Jackson – Soluble or insoluble?
This week we have focused on our case study one, science. This has involved: knowledge of solids, liquids and gases; exploring reversible and irreversible changes; and exploring how this links with our expedition by understanding how a steam train works.
Today we worked scientifically by carrying out an experiment to find out which solutes were soluble and insoluble. We can’t wait to do further experiments tomorrow!
