Reception’s Rainbow

Ks1 skipping week

The children have all been practising their skipping skills this week and we have been keeping a tally of how many skips have taken place across school. I’m so proud of the efforts that the children have put in to learning how to skip and can’t wait for the skipping race on sports day!

Well done guys!

Crew Knowles Rocks!

Today we completed an investigation to find the best rocks for different scenarios. We had to test the different properties of the rocks to find the most suitable rock for a worktop, a statue, a skate park ramp and a roof! This involved sanding, water and using vinegar on the rocks!

Class 11 Geologists!

Class 11 have been working on creating posters to show off their knowledge of the earth and its layers. Moe specifically, they have researched the different types of soils that make up the Earth. We looked into bedrock, parent material, subsoil, topsoil and the final organic layer. The layers were researched through the use of iPads which ensured we could get the really strong knowledge!

Nursery Family Learning

WOW! What a morning! It has been truly fantastic. We loved seeing you all get stuck in and crafty to make some amazing transport models. Thank you to all parents and carers who came to join us. What a special way to kick start our Summer term expedition ’Would you travel by wheels, wings or other things?’

Crew Knowles: Building Crew!

We had a team building session this morning in crew where the children had to work together to make sure everyone was stood on the carpet tiles without touching the floor! They communicated really well and came up with lots of creative ways to support each other!

Class 11 Earth Hook! 🌎🌍🌏

Today, Class 11 were right back into action and have began their hook week for the new Expedition. The new Expedition is called Earth Shattering Events: What happens when nature strikes?

The children were focusing on the different layers that made up the Earth, so it only felt right that we created a fun, collage that showcased the crust, mantle, outer core and inner core, so that we could see the different layers of work.

Keep an eye on the blog, as we continue to be hooked into our new Expedition this week!
