We had great fun learning about how light travels and how we can use a periscope to look around corners. We enjoyed exploring how light reflects off the mirrors into our eyes so we can see.

Welcome back Crew MI
We started the day in crew discussing our Christmas holidays and it was lovely to hear the children sharing their highlights. We then practised our SLC’s ready for next week.
In maths we converted fractions to decimals and worked well collaboratively to support each other. The lesson really challenged our thinking but we all did a great job 🙂
In our expeditionary learning we started to think about how we see and how light travels. We watched a variety of clips to understand the different parts of the eye and how these parts are similar to a camera. We then took part in a scientific investigation where we explored the question, How do we know that light travels in straight lines? We used given equipment to set up our investigation and worked well in mini crews, ensuring everyone had a role. After discussions and a debrief, we started to think about writing up our scientific reports and what we would need to include.
Crew MI party…
What a fantastic afternoon we have had! We have laughed, danced and played games. So much FUN!
UKS2 educating Carcroft community 🚀
The learning expedition culminated when we hosted an education expo at school to share our learning journey with parents and family members from the local community. Here, we demonstrated our understanding of space, forces and computing through a range of presentations, films and live investigations as well as explaining just how movement affects our world. We have compiled this into a video as a celebration of learning to create a lasting legacy of this expedition. We also hope that this event has given the local community more reasons to become involved in our school life and appreciate our everyday journey in working hard and being kind to get smart. Check out our final product here incase you missed todays celebration of learning.
Thank you so much to parents who have been involved in the presentation and celebration of learning, it is very much appreciated. The children have loved showing off their learning to you and heres to another great term of expeditionary learning!

Some great maths in our magic maths session today. We tried to beat the time when solving fraction arithmetic questions, then we looked at roman numerals. We did lots of chanting of the 8 times table before applying our knowledge on times table rockstars. Great work MI 🙂
