Over the last two days in Y4 we have been learning how to clap in a rhythm and read music to be able to create a melody.

Expedition Learning in Crew MI
Today we have continued to produce our Colombia posters, showcasing all the research we collected on Colombia. We have wrote about Colombia’s climate, where Colombia is in the world and The Andes. Children have made a fantastic start with these and we all all excited to continue working on these tomorrow.
Perfect pancake makers and super sugar shakers!
Crew Nursery have made their own pancakes today! They talked about where the ingredients had come from and they explored them by touching and smelling them. The children watched the ingredients change as they were mixed together and observed safely as the ingredients were cooked in a hot pan.
The children chose their own sauces and toppings before eating their pancakes. Chocolate sauce with banana and a sprinkling of icing sugar was the crew’s favourite topping!
Crew Nursery = Star Bakers!
How can you be a maker like me?
As part of Case Study 3, Crew Nursery are answering the question, ‘How can you be a maker like me?’
This week, the children are going to be bakers who make delicious sweet treats! Yesterday, after reading ‘The Gingerbread Man’, the children explored various collage materials and used them to design their own Gingerbread Men. In provision, they also used role play and small world resources to reenact the story and take on the role of bakers in the play dough, sand and role play areas. We can’t wait to see and smell their very own delicious Gingerbread Men later in the week…
Crew Nursery – Spring Term 2 Week 1
In the first week of Spring Term 2, the children in Crew Nursery finished answering their case study 2 question, ‘How do you build a community?’ They looked at the different roles of people in Carcroft village and they talked about how some people help to keep us safe. The children dressed up as police officers, lollipop wardens, nurses and builders and talked about their own aspirations for the future. They also took on the roles of rubbish collectors and police officers in the small world area. The children discussed road safety whilst drawing maps of their village and they created their own traffic lights and zebra crossings using a repeating pattern. Crew nursery finished the week by making pledges to keep their community safe by putting litter in the bins.

Just to inform you that PE for year 3 will be on a Tuesday and a Thursday. Children will need to come in suitable clothing for PE 😆
Independent write ✔️📖
The past couple of weeks we have been narrating, critiquing and revising The Lorax. As we had finished this piece it was time to show off on Friday to our audience – year 3. It was motivating to have a purpose and the opportunity to share our work as Miss Mcloughlin reads lots of our work. We beamed with pride as we knocked on Crew Gerrard’s and Crew Flaherty’s door ready to show off our beautiful work. It was also lovely to see some year 3s reading their writing back too and giving kind critique 😀

Today we have started our next writing unit, a persuasive letter. We have unpicked a persuasive letter thinking about the features needed. We used coloured pencils to highlight emotive language, flattery, rhetorical questions, adverbials, facts/evidence and using the first person. We worked really hard in our pairs to support each other when reading the letter then finding the features together.
Year 3 and 6 Reading (25.2.22) 📚
What a lovely morning it was seeing Crew McLoughlin reading their independent writing to Crew Flaherty and Crew Gerrard. It was fantastic to see our Year 3 pupils share their stories to the Year 6s too. It was a lovely atmosphere throughout!
