North Crescent Primary School
‘Guiding explorers of the future’
Explorers
Welcome Explorers to our school website, and more importantly to our very own class page. This is where you will be able to access important information such as homework, term dates, and current learning and achievements. 
Love from,
The Explorers Team (Miss Couchman, Mrs.Windebank and Mrs.Reeves)
Science Day- Georges Marvellous Medicene
Here is an example of what we did :)
Today it was 'Science Day' at North Crescent. The focus for the day was the story 'Georges Marvellous Medicine by Roald Dahl. The children were given the task of creating a medicine for Georges wicked Grandma, to teach her a lesson. In Explorer class we chose to experiment with fizzy drinks and mentos (fizzy drinks are Grandmas favourite), as we heard that when these two items are put together they explode.
STOMP!
Today we were lucky enough to have a member of the dance group ‘stomp’ join us at North Crescent Primary School. We learnt 10 moves which we then put into a short routine as a class.
SPORTS DAY 2019
Clay Week
This week we have explored ‘clay’ throughout the key stages. In Explorers we chose to make giant faces, linked to the class story ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’.
Chaplin Lodge
Today we visited Chaplin Lodge to sing summer songs to the residents. The children had lots of fun and sang beautifully.

The Everywhere Bear
This week we have introduced 'The Everywhere Bear' in Explorer class.

In Explorer class we will be sending 'The Everywhere Bear' home with children that have shown exceptional behaviour and learning in class. If your child brings home 'The Everywhere Bear' we kindly ask that they document Everywhere Bears journey with you and your family in the book provided.

Thank you to everybody that took part in 'World Book Day 2019'. It was such an amazing day and a great opportunity for us to share our favourite books. It was wonderful to see such a range of characters, from traditional tales to modern day stories! The costumes were fantastic and the children really took to their roles. Roll on next year...
Signed, ELSA.
Family Fun Time
Firstly, a big thank you to everyone that attended our 'pirate workshop' in Explorer class. We had such a fun afternoon, and loved everybody's enthusiasm and competitiveness.
Secondly, congratulations to Sienna and family for your winning pirate ship that Miss.Whitwell said had ''lots of detail and really stood out'', and also to Jacks family for being fabulous runners up.
We hope to have many more events like this one, as it was such a great success!!
Party Time...Arghhhhhh!
Thank you to everybody that got dressed up and in the spirit for pirate day!
We had lots of fun playing pirate themed games and sharing free time with our peers.
As a class we are very grateful to parents for your junk modelling and party food donations, we couldn't have had such a great day without your involvement!
Making a Pirate Ship
Today the children worked together in the outdoor area to make a pirate ship out of construction materials. They then used it as a setting for their role play, pretending to steer the ship and walk the plank.
Float or Sink?
Our visit to Chaplin Lodge!
Today Explorers and KS1 visited Chaplin Lodge to sing our Christmas songs to the residents. We had a festive morning of fun getting to know lots of new people and sharing the Christmas spirit. The residents had a great time and have invited us to return for Easter. We cannot wait! 
The Christmas Extravaganza!
Today we had our class Christmas extravaganza! Thank you to everyone that was able to make it. It was a great opportunity to showcase all the songs we have been learning. We had a great time and we hope that you loved it as much as we did!!
The Christmas Lunch!
My favourite food is...SCRAMBLED SNAKE!!!
Today in Explorers we learnt how to make Scrambled Snake (jelly with strawberry laces). We had to carefully follow instructions to find out what we needed to do and work in groups to carry out each step. It was so much fun and we cannot wait to try it!!
Children in need 2018
Thank you all for supporting children in need! You were all dressed 'Spot'-aculy. We raised over £100 from all of your kind donations, for a fantastic cause.
Our Library Trip
Today we visited Wickford Library. We had to walk carefully and sensibly all the way there. When we got there the Library assistant read us a story and told us all about the library and the items we could borrow. We then got an opportunity to explore! There were so many books to choose from and some of us even got to take some home. 
The Gruffalo hunt
This week in Explorers we have been learning to sequence a story. As stimulus for this we went on a Gruffalo hunt. We had to follow the story, finding each of the characters, whilst moving like the animals.
Our Superhero Day!
THE BIG WRITE!
On Friday the 12th October, the whole school took part in a 'Big Write'. In Explorers we have been learning about a book called ' Supertato ' by Sue Hendra, linked to our superhero topic. Our mission was to write posters to catch the evil pea that had broken into the classroom and trapped the superhero veggies!!
Harvest Time!
Thank you to everyone who donated items for harvest.These will be distributed to 'the gateway project' who help vulnerable people in our local community . Miss.Couchman
