The children really enjoyed their first Mini Kicks session today. They practiced their dribbling skills and kick backs with coach Kyle and we are super excited for our session again next week!

Ks1 fantastic expedition hook lesson
What a fantastic expedition lesson we had today, where a couple of expert musicians came and played a variety of instruments for the children. They all really enjoyed learning a Beatles song and I am loving how engaged they are in their new music case study!
Great work key stage 1 – you are superstars!
Crew Knowles: immersion
Today we were introduced to our second case study – biology! We are looking forward to building on our KS1 knowledge of plants and animals and learn some of the more in depth characteristics of plants. Today, we created some lovely pictures to help decorate our classroom!

Crew Knowles: welcome back!
We’ve had a lovely first day back in Year 4 today! We spent the first part of the morning prepping for our upcoming SLCs and the second part, getting hooked into our science learning!
Our first case study is physics and focuses on electricity. We completed an electricity hunt around school and tried to decide whether the electrical devices were producing heat, movement, sound or light! We then sorted lots of electrical equipment based on whether it was mains or battery powered. A great start to our learning!

Accelerated Reader time!
We had a gorgeous Accelerated Reader session on Thursday this week.
We’ve really mastered these norms now and everyone was super engaged and getting lost in reading their books. There were lots of quizzes being passed too!
Also, a huge shout out to those children who have brought their reading packs in everyday this week and also for quizzing at home on your books too. I am noticing a huge difference with our AR data!
Keep it up superstars!

Crew Knowles: Sketching Techniques
We have been practising some sketching techniques today including cross hatching, feathering and stippling. We had a lovely lesson and I’m really looking forward to some of these techniques being applied to the final sketches.
Class 13 – Sketching! ✏️
Today we were able to start Case Study 3, which focuses on art. We have been looking closely at sketching and how we can create different textures to add shading to our drawings. We looked at several different techniques including stippling, hatching and cross-hatching. Ask your children if they can demonstrate and explain what each different technique is!
