It was pleasure to be able to watch the Cheerleading and Acro performance on Thursday afternoon. The children from KS1 and KS2 performed the dances they have been learning during this term in lunchtime clubs.
The performance oozed confidence and the high quality learning that has taken place during these clubs. It was great to see children from previous years perform but also lots of new faces. A massive well done to all involved. They should be very proud of themselves.
A number of our Year 5/6 pupils sang a selection of Christmas carols to celebrate the Christmas lights being switch on at Bullcroft Memorial Hall. It was lovely to hear the children singing so beautifully! A huge thank you to the children who attended – even though it was on a Saturday! And a massive thank you to the grown ups who joined us. Feeling very proud!
Today, we created some single-clause sentences. We had to identify the subject (s), the verb (v) and add the correct punctuation.
Today we experimented with friction! We used a range of materials (wood, tea-towel, silk and a cushion) to test out the question, ‘How does the texture of a surface affect the amount of friction?’ We used a ramp and a car and covered the ramp with different textures. We found out that the rougher the surface, the more friction. The smoother the surface, the less friction.
Activate: We looked at an image and created as many inferences as we could.
“I think they are leaving and going to a new planet because of the toxic liquid.”
Consolidate: Vocabulary recap.
Demonstrate:Practicing reading- To read 110 words per minute and to read with understanding.
We have now began our Case Study 2 – physics! We first of all, we watched a video introducing gravity, and we also read an informational text about Sir Issac Newton – the scientist who created the gravity law. We were then given the task to use newton metres to measure the weight of objects in class. We really loved this practical activity to kick start our physics.
We each created a table to recorded our findings:
On Friday afternoon, we got to enjoy a ‘Scotties’ session with Scott himself. Although it was initially freezing cold outside and the tasks set were incredibly challenging… we showed great perseverance and worked well as mini crews to succeed!
Last week, Crew Elmer was lucky again to win the attendance award in our Key Stage Two Community Meeting! This meant that we got to enjoy a yummy biscuit treat and some orange juice! As well as some extra playtime where we enjoyed the sunshine, dancing, singing, playing football and being back on our old playground where we could jump on the tyres and climb on the frame. Can we win it for a fourth time before the end of this half term??!! Well done Crew Elmer! 🙂
Today in mini crews, we created the phases of the moon using Oreos cookies. Crew Elmer had so much fun.
