Class 10 – Fossilisation
Today, we were fascinated once again by more amazing learning about rocks … we learned about the process of fossilisation and were even lucky enough to see some real life fossils which Tosia found on a trip Hornsea beach. Perhaps next time you visit the beach, you might find some fossils too!
Crew Rodgers Magic Maths Shout Out!
Yet another super-proud teacher moment in Crew Rodgers this morning as we marked our weekly Magic Maths quiz. The test comprises of five addition and three 10 times table equations which need to be completed within 30 seconds to help improve the speed of the children’s calculation skills. Although our Crew has made massive improvements to our results since we began the tests last September we have never had everyone achieving perfect scores…until today that is!
As we marked each equation together the excitement built and built as we realised we were all getting every answer correct and after the final answer was announced the room erupted. The children were jumping around hugging each other and one little boy was heard to say, “Its just like Christmas!”
I couldn’t be prouder of my little maths wizards and the way they celebrated their achievements with their Crew mates!

Class 10 – We are Scientists!
Today, we worked collaboratively to put on our science caps and investigate the properties of different rocks. We found that granite would make a great kitchen worktop because it was very hard and didn’t scratch. We also discovered that slate makes a great roof tile because it is impermeable but that chalk would be useless for an outdoor statue given how quickly it reacts to white vinegar, which is a bit like the tiny bits of acid found in rainwater. Fascinating!
To add to our learning, Beau & Eli found a wide range of rocks in our school’s garden area which they investigated themselves and then shared with the rest of the class. Well done boys!
Y5 Mining Expert visit was AMAZING!
Our children were extremely lucky to have a morning visit from Eddie and Tony, who are mining experts. We were wowed with mining tales, had the chance to view real life artefacts and hear all about their uses and asked lots of useful questions to support our learning. Eddie and Tony were such informative hosts and we are so thankful for their time and information!
