Crew Council – Thorne Council Meeting

This afternoon, our KS2 Crew Councillors met with some members of Thorne council to discuss the upcoming plans for Thorne Memorial Park. They were really excited to get an insight into what the new play area is going to look like and enjoyed sharing ideas of what they would like to see in our local park.

We are really excited to continue working with the Council on the run up to the grand opening and getting our KS1 Crew Councillors involved too!

Class 12: reading fluency

In class 12 we have really been looking at improving our reading fluency and learning the different elements that fall under this category: reading rate, reading accuracy, reading with expression and reading to punctuation. Ask your child about these at home and how they can model these to you when reading!

We had a really lovely reading lesson today start our new class text – The Wild Robot – I’m looking forward to reading more if this wonderful book with the children and listening to their ideas and discussions!

Class 12: Physics, conductivity

Today, my lovely lot carried out an investigation into the conductivity of materials. Understanding that if a material allowed the current to continue through it then it was a conductor, if not and the current was stopped then it was an insulator. I really enjoy seeing the excitement around the room and some children going one step further and taking their circuits around the room to test other objects too!

Crew Knowles: History Lesson

In history today, we researched Rosa Parks using selection of different primary and secondary sources. We learnt all about how she fought for her rights and how her actions resulted in a year long bus boycott!
