Today we completed our 5th draft using charcoal to perfect our technique before doing it on our final product. However this time we used the technique to draw London houses. We are definitely getting good at charcoal in Crew Marsh!
In Year 1, we have added untuned percussion instruments to the song we have been learning ‘The Menu Song’. We listened carefully to instructions and found the beat to the song and first showed this by clapping our hands in time. We then moved on to finding the beat with the percussion instruments, and we even pushed ourselves to try singing at the same time! It was tricky, but we are already looking forward to practising again next week and getting even better! ✨
Thanks again for coming to read, the children love spending time reading their RWI books.
After already doing 3 drafts of our Dennis Creffield drawing of our school, today we did our 4th practice to improve on our artwork. We did this by reflecting and critiquing our previous artwork and how we could improve it.
During our writing lesson, some children access labs of learning to enhance their knowledge of vocabulary which they then use in their pieces of writing. Today the children were shown how to use the iPads to access a QR code which then led to a step by step video teaching them how to draw Little Red Riding Hood. The children worked in pairs to do this and all worked extremely hard to use these new skills and produced a great piece of art work!
We went on a walk today to visit Granny and take her a basket of fruit and just like Little Red Riding Hood we met the big, bad wolf hiding in the trees! Afterwards we talked about what we saw and heard in the woods and how we felt when we saw such a ferocious wolf. We can now use all these ideas in our writing tomorrow!
This week it was the children’s time to read to parents…
We would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who helped and supported KS1’s bake sale, we managed to raise £109 for Doncaster Changing Lives. This is just the start of KS1 being heroes in the Carcroft community, look out for what we do next!
Some children from Crew Marsh explored the outdoor area of our School today. We spoke about the importance of litter picking but also making sure it is safe to do so. Some of them were quite shocked at how much they found but also quite impressed that they could all hold the huge pipe they found too! They did a great job and hopefully they spread their enthusiasm about keeping their environment safe to others in the community 👏
