Well done to all the children who were able to make a Crown and bring it into school. The winners will be announced in assembly shortly.
Once again a massive thank you to the Friends of Crowmoor for organising such a fantastic event!

We have had a lovely week writing about the tiger who came to tea using ‘and’ to join sentences and ideas. Today the children wrote about their likes and dislikes of the book, again using conjunctions to link sentences. Next week we will be changing the story slightly to a different animal.
We we’re lucky we went on our Spring walk around the school grounds on Wednesday while the weather was warm and dry. The children enjoyed finding signs of Spring and exploring.
Today it was lovely to see everyone in their red, white and blue clothes with their amazing crowns. It was also great to see so many families at the picnic. The weather was a shame, but everyone had lots of fun.
Have a lovely weekend!
This week we were extremely lucky to have the opportunity to visit Shrewsbury Prison as part of our Crime and Punishment topic. The children really enjoyed exploring the different wings, discovering what crimes led to being sent to prison and the punishments that were given to the prisoners. They even found out that the prison was haunted! We completed some fun tasks organised by the prison and enjoyed a scavenger hunt looking at clues and answering questions! They showed great enthusiasm and asked some fantastic questions during the guided tour – very impressed with all of them. Well done, Sycamore! We all cannot wait to carry on exploring Crime and Punishment through the ages!
The children looked great in their crowns and thank you to all of you who came to celebrate this afternoon.
In English, we have planned and written our persuasive speeches. Today we have been looking at reading our work and how we could edit and improve it.
In Maths, we have been making a whole using tenths and hundredths, and partitioning decimals. Next week, we will be finishing our work on decimals.
We hope you have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the bank holiday.

What a short but busy week! In Drawing Club we read the story ‘The King’s Runaway Crown’ the children drew and wrote about their favourite character, the palace and also a way to stop Colin the King’s dog from running away with the crown. There were some very interesting ideas! They learned the words anxious, regal, ceremony, pilfer, exquisite and scarper.
In Phonics we have started Level 4 and begun working on blending words with adjacent consonants e.g. jump, tent, help etc. The children are learning to sound out in their heads and just blend to read out loud so that they can begin to read more fluently. They have also learned the tricky words ‘said’ and ‘so’.
In Maths this week we have been solving addition problems through stories, using the First, Then, Now structure. E.g. FIRST there were 4 animals in the pen, THEN 2 more came, NOW there are …..? They solved these using double sided counters on a ten frame and matched the total to the correct numeral. Some children worked on recording the number sentences. They have been working on setting problems for a friend to solve and ended the week with trying to solve the problem when they didn’t know the second number eg FIRST there were 5, THEN ???, NOW there are 8. They did find this quite tricky and we will continue working on this next week.
We received some photos from Barnaby yesterday from his trip to India and the children loved seeing what he’s been up to. They were keen to write him a little note to ask him more about what he has been doing and let him know what else they wanted him to find out for them.
We have also been learning about King Charles III and getting ready for the Coronation celebrations at the weekend. The children all looked great in their red, white and blue clothes and fantastic crowns.
Whatever you have planned we hope you have a lovely weekend and don’t forget to share some photos on Tapestry so the children can share with the rest of the class next week.
Have a great weekend.

Good afternoon,
just a quick note to say a huge thank you to everyone who helped us celebrate the Coronation of King Charles 111 this afternoon. The rain did not dampen our enjoyment. It was lovely to welcome so many of you and I really enjoyed chatting to you all. Crowmoor did it again and a good time was had by all. We were pretty lucky and I know lots of you managed to eat your picnics between the showers! Certainly dancing in the rain has a whole new meaning…
Thank you to The Friends of Crowmoor and all of the Staff who help to make these super events run so smoothly. But it has to be said the children just made the afternoon, all dressed in their red, white and blue outfits. The effort that was put into making the crowns was plain for all to see – well done. The winners will be announced and a prize awarded during next week’s assemblies.
Enjoy the rest of the long weekend and I shall see you all next Tuesday.
Best wishes,
Mrs.P. x
Hello everyone,
The weather is beginning to get nicer which is wonderful! Just a reminder that children need to bring in a water bottle every day. Sun cream should be readily applied before coming into school and a hat if needed.
In English, we have finished our unit on speech. The children have written a persuasive speech to the Shrewsbury Prison about why they are not guilty of a crime. We have presented our work neatly and will be sending our speeches to the prison.
In Maths, we have finished our fractions unit. We have found fractions of an amount and have answered reasoning questions linked to fractions. I have been impressed with the children’s enthusiasm during this unit. Next week we will begin our unit on money.
This week we went on our visit to Shrewsbury Prison. We had a fantastic time learning all about how crime and punishment has changed over time. Why not see what prison facts your child can tell you!
It was great to see many of you today to celebrate the Coronation, thank you! The children looked wonderful in their crowns.
Have a lovely weekend; we will see you back in school on Tuesday 9th May.

Good afternoon,
We have had a very busy four day week!
The children have produced some very good reports on King Charles, using a mixture of their research, writing and presentation skills. In geography we have looked at specific cities in North and South America, comparing their climates and biomes. For art, the children have researched and started to design their own Maya masks, which we will start to create next week.
Next week is SATs week. Due to the 4 day week, there will be at least one test everyday. Please ensure the children are in on time everyday.
Finally a thank you to all of you who came and celebrate this afternoon. The Friends of Crowmoor have kindly given the children a range of memorabilia to celebrate the coronation, which I am sure they will show you this evening.
I hope you all have a fun weekend,
Mr Reynolds
Happy Coronation!
In English, we have been finalising our books! The are looking great and really showcase the children’s writing progress since the start of the year.
In Maths, we have just finished our unit on Shape, where the children received some really good scores! We have just started our new unit looking at decimals again. The children are recapping what we have already learnt about decimals and applying this to our new learning.
New spellings are posted. Please try find the time at home to practice these at the weekend. We need to aim for spelling bees! I have also set new Mathletics homework to link to our new unit. The children have been really good at keeping up to date with Mathletics this week, keep it up!
Thank you to all for coming to the picnic!
Have another great long weekend
