2P have been learning about the difference between aerial views and aerial plans. We used this knowledge to make ‘messy maps’ of our classroom using different resources. It was really tricky trying to remember to look down from the ceiling but after much grappling, we began to create the shapes we needed. Great geography work 2P!

This week we have followed a map, to go on a treasure hunt. We found a treasure chest filled with seaside objects! Before opening the box we made predications about what might be inside, then after looking at the items, we decided maybe our new expedition was going to be about the beach.
We then learnt that we live in Intake, Doncaster, and compared some pictures of Intake, to pictures of the seaside.

In crew on Tuesdays, we take a reading focus. I can’t think of anything better than finding a good book and getting completely lost in the story which could take you to anywhere in your imagination. This week, we looked at a children’s magazine with a variety of different stories in it. We scanned through the magazine to find something that caught our eye and then explained to each other what our attention was grabbed by and why.

In maths, we have been thinking really carefully about how we approach different styles of mathematical questions. Explaining our thinking to each other has helped us to realise with more accuracy where we have been successful and where we need to make improvements.
Well done everyone and an extra shout out to Alex who has shown so much enthusiasm in Maths since returning to school after the Easter break. I am so proud of you all.

Our crew challenge taught us a lot on Monday morning. We had to listen carefully to the instructions our partner gave us and attempt to draw exactly what was described to us. We learnt that the instructions we give must be incredibly specific; not too long; and that they should also be spoken clearly so that our partner can hear us.
Well done to my Magic Breakfast team too – bagels toasted to perfection. Well done and thank you, ladies.

4H had a fabulous first week back after the Easter break and it is fair to say that we are incredibly excited about our new expedition: From Bean to Bar: What’s the cost of a bar of chocolate?
We immersed ourselves in the world of chocolate by watching Gene Wilder as Mr Willy Wonka; tasting a range of different chocolate types; looking at the artwork of Andy Warhol and designing our own packaging for a delicious treat that we will be making as our final product!
Keep working hard guys; let’s smash this final term as a team and get you year five ready! How exciting!

Today’s crew was all about road safety. We made a poster using our hand print to remind everyone to hold an adult’s hand when crossing the road. Have a chat with the children to see what they remember about road safety.
