On Friday Crew MI and Crew Boswell started their next art slice 🙂 Our entry ticket allowed us to discuss our existing knowledge on mosaic, discussing when we have used mosaic before and what we did. We then looked at a range of different mosaics where we thought about what we could see and the patterns. We thought about how the mosaic had been created, the materials used and which ones we liked the most and why. Then we gave some of our own critique giving praises, notices and wonders for the different pieces. Next we were introduced to the artist we would study through this art slice- Antoni Gaudi. We watched different clips to build background knowledge then worked in mini crews to discuss and note down what we had learnt from the video. We created a whole class anchor chart using the facts we had learnt. From here we explored some of Gaudi’s work and where we can find it. We looked at the Sagrada Familia, learning that it is still to be finished! We discussed the following questions when exploring some of Gaudi’s work… What can you see? How does it make you feel? What techniques have been used? What was Gaudi trying to express? Our exit ticket allowed us all to voice 1 fact about Gaudi in our mini crew. We then shared this with someone from another mini crew then someone else in the room.
Citizenship Crew in Crew Boswell
Today we have been looking at how we can react to things outside of our control and who we could talk to when our feelings change. The children came up with situations that they feel they’re in control of and those that they’re not before sorting those and others into what’s in their circle of control and what’s not.
Year 5/6 Winners🏆🙌🏻🥇
Carcroft girls enjoyed the afternoon out playing football on XPs 4G pitch. We played 3 matches and overall Carcroft girls Y5/6 team won first place! What an achievement! The Y3/4 team stood out for their defending skills and sportsmanship. It was amazing to see! We cannot wait for the next tournament!
Beautiful work celebrations
Another lovely morning celebrating beautiful work 🙂
Fun and Games in Maths
In maths, we’ve been learning about fractions, decimals and percentages. We enjoyed consolidating our understanding with a board game at the end of the unit!
Beautiful work
A great turn out today for beautiful work! Fantastic work everyone! It was so lovely sharing your work with you all 🙂
Fractions and Percentages in Crew Boswell
In maths, we’ve been looking at how to convert fractions into percentages. We were surprised how easy it can be and can’t wait to carry on looking at decimals!
Computing in Crew Boswell
We enjoyed looking at search engines and understanding how they work and why we use them. We’ve also developed our coding skills using the awesome microbits! We can’t wait to use them more and see how much we can program them to do!
”I loved the microbits and how we could make them light up in any way we wanted!”
