Today, KS1 have been busy being artists, as they start to create their sculptures. This will be part of the finished product for our expedition – How will what I do today impact the world tomorrow?
We have created the jellyfish body using recycled materials and mod-roc.
This week we have been exploring Spring, we have made some chicks in the playdough 🐥, we have done beautiful daffodil art and used scissors to carefully cut leaves 🌿.
We have made the most of the lovely sunshine and spent lots of time outside playing in the water, making chalk pictures and playing with our friends – we even found a ladybird! 🐞
What a pleasure it was taking Y3/4 children to play dodgeball. It was great to see the progression from playing their first game to playing the last. We placed 2nd and 4th in our mini tournaments. Well done Carcroft!
Today we have participated in some thought provoking sessions and learnt skills for life to help us stay safe within the community. Here’s a few snippets.
Crew nursery have been looking for signs of spring this week! They have noticed that the weather is much warmer and that the sun is shining. The children have been discussing the animals, plants and insects that they might see in spring. They have planted their own sunflower seeds and they went on an exciting bug hunt! They found snails and ladybirds in Carcroft’s ‘Bugingham Palace’. The children used the play dough to create spring chicks and they used their building skills to design and make safe houses for chicks in the construction area.
Hi all, all of year 4 should come in their PE kits tomorrow whether they are playing dodgeball or not.
Thank you 🙂
LKS2 were lucky to hold a basketball tournament at school today and they played brilliantly well. We came up against some tough opponents in the glorious weather today, but I couldn’t be prouder of the effort the children showed. They never once gave up, tried their very best and played with a smile. We came 3rd and 4th, but will only keep on improving. Well done for your effort guys and keep up it up!
Today we continued our expedition lessons by looking at tool safety and thinking about some of the equipment and materials we will use to create our photo frames. We all had a go at using a saw to cut a piece of wood. We then used sand paper to ensure the sides of our wood were smooth. We also used wood glue to join some of the wood together. We evaluated the process thinking about praises, notices and wonders. We are all looking forward to creating our own photo frames during the rest of the week.
