We recapped apostrophes in our grammar session today, completing some activities on white boards and with our partner. We then applied our knowledge to a range of questions. We then explored a practise sats paper in our reading lesson. Children text marked confidently, unpicking vocabulary before answering questions. Our inference skills are really improving, our Wednesday inference sessions are really supporting us and helping us to become more confident when answering these type of questions.
Today MI completed their final arithmetic paper before the real one next week!! Such focus and resilience today! Everyone was so eager to get their best score! Children then worked through the questions they got wrong proving they were able to answer all questions correctly. We will work on some of the incorrect answers in our arithmetic sessions tomorrow, Thursday and Friday. Great work today MI 🙂
Today we unpicked line graphs in our magic maths lesson before consolidating our knowledge on rounding. We then worked in mini crews on a variety of maths questions, all preparing us for our sats next week.
Our Carcroft Change Makers have been hard at work working with their crews to develop our curriculum offer. We are excited to see what skills we are going to develop 👩🍳 🎦 🖼️
Crew Godley have been working hard in magic maths on one more and less, whilst also perfecting their number recognition and formation. We’ve worked so hard to ensure we are really listening to the quick fire questions. It was lovely to see the children collaborate and check each others understanding 🔢
PE this week has involved children continuing to practice their throwing skills for cricket. They had a new coach this week so it was lovely to see them full engaged in the activity.
Today, we have had the opportunity to learn more about the conditions working in the mines which are extremely unpleasant.
Children worked in pairs to read a number of sources before having to retrieve the important information. They were able to find the conditions in the mines but also the detrimental effects these had on people’s health conditions.
When we had collected the information, we have collated it into an anchor chart for the working wall.
During our second expedition lesson, the children learned about some of the job roles from the mines. They were then challenged to read the information and act out the job. The rest of the crew had to guess the role based on the actions. Well done to everyone for getting involved and performing to the rest of the crew.
In Crew Welburn this week, Aubree found a tiny key! We have been talking about what they key might be used for. We have come to the conclusion that it is for a tiny fairy door that we have found in our blossom tree! We listened very carefully to the tree yesterday and we could hear music coming from behind the door! Aubree wrote a letter to the fairies last night, and to our surprise, the fairy wrote back to her! We’ve given the fairy gifts of bagels and flowers today and lots of us have written her letters today.
I wonder what we will find at school tomorrow…
