To finish off our time doing XP Outdoors this half term, Crew Gate and Crew Tinker gathered around the campfire and enjoyed a delicious hot chocolate. While drinking our hot chocolates we worked together to tell our very own story… All about a treasure hunting piarate in the desert.
We spent our Thoughtful Thursday celebrating Maths Week 2024. We shared work we are proud of from our maths books and then grappled over some problems together!
Over our last couple of crew sessions, Crew Gate have been embracing the outdoors and using our autumn finds to create artwork.
This week Class Six have been thinking all about subtraction in Maths. To finish off the week we did a super fun activity writing on the tables.
What better way to spend our tranquil Tuesday crew session than outside around our fire pit, sharing a story and a hot chocolate.

Yesterday Class Six took over Conisbrough Castle. We hopped off the coach and straight into our “History Of The Castle” workshop where we learned all about Lord Hamlin and Lady Isabelle.
After lunch we headed into the grounds of the castle and explored where the prison, hall and kitchen would have been before heading up the tower. We climbed lots of stairs, exploring both Lord Hamlin and Lady Isabelle’s rooms on the way up to the top of the tower, looking over the village of Conisbrough!
This week Crew Gate have been embracing XP Outdoors in our crew sessions. We made leaf collages yesterday and undertook a nature walk today. It has been fabulous to get t
Y2 have kicked off our Autumn expedition in style with a fun filled week of activites. To start the week, we had an exciting visit from an expert – Mr Lamb!!
We have been artists. We spent the week creating stained glass windows, castle flags, clay shields and tissue paper torches. We have also been looking at the story of Cinderella, thinking about the characters and of course Cinderella’s glass slippper. To finish the week we threw a party fit for princes and princesses – all the children came dressed to impress with their own crowns and played party games, ate buns and revealed our title and guiding question.
It has been lovely getting to know the children over the last two weeks and we are so excited to full jump into our expedition!
During crew week, Class Six asked ourselves “Does crew stop at the school gates?” We decided to be Norton Book Fairies and between Y2 delivered 20 books around Norton. These were left around the village for people to find and take home.
We hope everyone is enjoying our books and leaving them around the village for other people to find!!
