Team Robin aiming high and working hard whilst making their diva pots. This links to this week’s CUSP story focusing on the celebration of Diwali. First, we used play dough to explore making a diva pot and then we used the clay! We developed our fine motor skills by manipulating the clay to make our own individual diva pot and we used tools to make markings around the edge of the pot. We had great fun exploring the clay, and now they are drying ready for when we can take home! #teamcroxby
Team Robin working hard and enjoying their enrichment tasks relating to this week’s CUSP story ‘Celebrations around the World - Diwali’. We explored making rangoli patterns by using different media and had a go at making our own mehndi design. #teamcroxby
🐝 Y2 Bees have been working hard this afternoon in their S4S lessons! 🐝 They have been learning all about what makes a healthy, balanced diet. The children put their knowledge into practice by describing and drawing their very own healthy, balanced packed lunches! 🥪🍎🥕 Fantastic effort, Bees! We are so proud of you all! 💛
🔬🐾 As scientists, Year 1 have been busy exploring different animals and how they move! We practised describing their movements to our friends before putting our knowledge to the test with our very own game of Guess Who? 🐒🦘 We’ve had so much fun learning about the animal kingdom and can’t wait to continue our explorations in our new topic! 🌍✨
🍁The Wrens have been busy exploring what happens in the seasons today. We enjoyed reading the story `Tidy’ about Pete the badger and discovering how he tidies the whole forest! 🌳 Inspired by Pete the children worked hard tidying our garden and creating some beautiful autumn pictures. 🌿
Team Robin recommend the story ‘Peace at Last’ for you to read at home. We enjoyed listening to the story and as a class we could recall all the noises which kept Mr Bear awake. Our favourite page was Mrs Bear snoring! #teamcroxby
The Year 1 Mice began their exciting new science topic, Animals Including Humans. Having explored the features of different animals, they used their learning to ask carefully considered questions and identify the animals their classmates had drawn. #workhard 🦊🐸🦔🐳

Year 3 Hedgehogs🦔 loved making and tasting their zesty popcorn. We discussed the question ‘What makes a balanced diet?’ and thought carefully about how much sugar and salt we added, whilst practising grating our fruit zest to add! #teamcroxby
