Crew Goodyer enjoyed taking part in some fun crew sessions outdoors this week led by Mrs Jackson. We began by using our senses to explore and describe objects found out in our school grounds.
We then took part in the matchbox challenge to see which team could fit the most objects into a matchbox. Frankie and Eliza were excited to be named champions!
We created Peter Thorpe inspired rockets.
Wearing red, white and blue the children in Year One joined in with today’s VE Day celebrations. After learning about and discussing the importance of VE Day we enjoyed fish and chips for lunch and created some fabulous WW2 spitfires.
We spent time celebrating World Maths Day in our key stage one community meeting this morning. We thought about when we use maths outside of school, why it is important and we even talked about some famous mathematicians!
We finished our community meeting with some maths puzzles. I was very impressed how people were grappling to solve the problems!
Super work Key Stage One

We have had an amazing afternoon sharing our learning with our parents and presenting our final product. We have tried different fruit and vegetables, learnt lots of facts about plants, tasted beetroot smoothie and a Spinach cake.
Crew Staves have been busy experimenting with flowers and food colouring this week – they are looking pretty happy with their results!
This week in our Wise Wednesday community meeting we reminded ourselves of our new Science characters that are going to help us to think scientifically.
Next, we had some Science riddles to try and solve – look at how many scientific superstars we had this morning!
I wonder if you can solve the riddles? Have a go …
1 – With my powerful lens you can look at the stars, and spot the planets like Venus and Mars.
2 – I’m a type of energy. You use me every day … for light, cooking, computers and the music that you play.
3 – I am a gas that is found in the air. Without me, there would be no life anywhere!
4 – I am a precious metal mined from deep underground. I’m yellow in colour. In jewellery, I’m found.
5 – I am part of your body, with a very important role. Your voice, sight and memory are some things I control.
6 – I can be sunshine, snow, wind or rain. I change every day … people often complain!
7 – Plant and animal cells too tiny to see are magnified when you look through me.
8 – I am a liquid. In rivers I flow When I freeze I am ice. I’m called H2O!
Good Luck

Science is about understanding and making sense of the world around us. It allows us to be creative and curious, as well as being able to answer questions that we may have. To celebrate science week Year One have been planning and carrying out an investigation to help us answer the question ‘How do flowers and other plants drink?’ We’ve made predictions and considered how we can make our tests fair. Today with the help of our grown ups we’ve worked together to set up our experiment.
We are excited to see what happens to our flowers over the next few days and to answer some of the questions we have been asking.
Which colour will we see first in our flowers?
Will the colours mix and make new colours in the flowers?
How long will it take for the flowers to change colour?
Crew Goodyer have had a lovely week taking crew outdoors and enjoying some early Spring sunshine!☀️ Mrs Jackson led our crew on Tuesday when we made some wonderful clay animals and this morning we walked around our grounds looking for signs of spring. Being out in the fresh air and sunshine is a great way to start each day.
