Today we took ourselves out of our comfort zone and tried some new fruits including pineapple, avocado and passion fruit.
Today we were lucky enough to be visited by cook stars. The children all took it in turns to make a portion of dirty fries. They all chopped, peeled and grated their own fresh ingredient and assembled their meal.
We loved making our own pitta pizza today in our expedition lesson. We followed a recipe created by KS1 children at Carcroft in 2023. They were delicious!
Today the children were learning to balance when jumping from 2 feet to 2 feet or 2 feet to 1 foot and then they smashed jumping from 2 feet, half a turn and then land on 2 feet .
Last week 10 children from KS1 represented Carcroft at a basketball tournament at XP.
Archie even won a special medal.
Well done everyone!
Today in KS1 we filmed and recorded our song and dance that will form part of our final product.
Geoff from XP came in with all his recording equipment and he is now going to start putting the video together for us. We are very excited to share it will you later in the term!
We were very lucky to have a visit today from a music expert. Mr Hull brought along more than 10 instruments which he entertained us with. We listened to different types of guitars, drums, wood wind instruments and even a harmonica!
We are very grateful that he took time out of his day to come and visit us. Hopefully he has inspired some children to take up an instrument!
This is week we have started our writing about Stan and Mabel who are trying to gather other animals to be able to join an orchestra. We have so far met a duck that plays an oboe and rabbits that play the drums.
