This morning, as part of our reading lesson, we focussed on vocabulary and using dictionaries to find the definitions for each of the words!
Crew Knowles: Vocabulary
Crew Ambler – Phases of the moon
Today In expedition, we have looked at the phases of the moon and how sunlight causes the different phases. We were hooked into the lesson using Oreo’s to show the different phases and even had a little treat at the end of the lesson. Well done everyone!
We’re looking for a LKS2 Teacher at Plover!
Class 7 Litter picking
As part of Crew, we helped out with stewardship by litter picking in the quad!
Class 12 – reading fluency
Today in reading fluency, we did something a little different. I shared with the children the next 6 pages of our book and they had to read through them but they were in the wrong order. Realising that the story wasn’t in chronological order and events jumbled, they then spent the rest of the lesson reordering it and discussing why each piece came next. Well done!
Class 5 Achievements
Last week some of our children took part in their first Martial Arts grading. These children attend Nathan Pickles Martial Arts which we are very lucky to hold in our school hall. The children have been working hard over the past few months and were awarded their first colour belt. Well done to Phoebe, Dax and Addison who are now the proud owners of their orange belts!
Year 5/6 Community Crew Meeting!
A huge shout out and well done to our first Crew Champion winners of this year. It was wonderful listening to all of the positive comments from crew leaders! A big well done to our HOWL point winners too!
MacMillan Coffee Morning and Bun Sale!
On Friday 27th September we are hosting a MacMillan Coffee Morning in our school hall.
Come and join us between 8:30 and 9:30 to help us raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.
We would greatly appreciate any donations including buns, cakes or cookies. Please hand them to crew leaders or to Mrs Spetch.
Children will also be able to purchase one bun each for 50p.
We look forward to seeing you all!
Crew Knowles: Thorne Pentecostal Charity Shop
This morning, Crew Knowles dropped off some more donations and lost property at the Pentecostal charity shop. Whilst there, we also spent a few minutes helping to tidy up!
Class 8 expedition work
The children have been learning about King William I in history today and were reading facts about the Battle of Hastings. They then went on to create our own Bayeux tapestry, which retells the story, using tea bags and pictures. I can’t wait to see the finished product! You were brilliant historians today! Well done class 8
