As part of our Expedition learning this week we have looked at plants and the reproduction of plants. Today. we dissected some lilies and labelled each of the different parts. We have learnt that plants have both male and female reproductive parts and have looked at the process of pollination!
Crew Knowles have done a great job supporting each other to peer critique and edit / improve their draft writing touch downs! I can’t wait to read the final versions!
We have had lots of fantastic Learning Legends recently! Crew Knowles are impressing me in every single way! They are pushing themselves in their learning to achieve their minimum expectation (and above in AJ and Lauren’s case!) in all of their lessons. As well as this, they are showing some great learning characteristics from our HOWLs rubric and are definitely ‘working hard’, ‘being kind’ and ‘getting smart’! Well done guys, you are great role models!
Corey was one our Learning Legends today due to always having a ‘work hard’ attitude. He always puts in his best effort and is really challenging himself in maths! Not only this, Corey loves looking after our environment and definitely follows our Be Kind aspect of our rubric!
As part of our geography case study in Expedition, we have looked at how physical features affect human activity. We explored two countries (Brazil and the UK) and looked at the similarities and differences in farming, transport and leisure / tourism.
Yesterday, Crew Knowles looked at improving their balanced arguments using sentence openers. Firstly, the crew recapped some of the different sentence openers they could have used. As well as this, they used dice roll mats to generate a word which they then used in a sentence. Finally, they edited their paragraphs by adding in the different openers. Despite the tricky challenge, Crew Knowles persevered and used some great openers!
I wonder … how many sentence openers have I used in this paragraph?!
Today, Year 6 started their day off right!!! We’ve reintroduced the daily mile in to our day as part of our crew sessions.
We want to promote those healthy lifestyles and increase our heart rates after such a long time off from school. After lockdown, we have discussed the positives from running the daily mile such as boosting our mental health, reducing child obesity and giving people the freedom back to exercise outside and be free.
Well done everyone! You all tried really hard and took it at your own pace. We are excited for tomorrow’s daily mile!

Noah is today’s Learning Legend has he has showed a great learning attitude this week and has been a wonderful friend to our new crew member. What great attributes to have – well done Noah!
Today we looked at identifying the features of a balanced argument. Our model text was ‘should children be allowed to eat chocolate for breakfast?’ There were some very strong arguments! Everyone did a great job at picking out the features and we now feel confident understanding the structure of a balanced argument!
It’s hard to choose Learning Legends in Crew Knowles as everyone is so deserving! However, our most recent legends are Alex, Lauren and Courtney! Well done for your amazing learning attitude!
