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!
In our writing lesson today we have been ordering pictures from the Ice Age clip, to help us order and sort our writing. This is preparation for our independent write next week.
Yesterday afternoon, we explored a range of materials to investigate which were magnetic or non magnetic. We sorted our materials into 2 groups. We also discovered that that attraction was stronger with some items. To help us understand why some metal materials are magnetic we watched a video that explained for an item to be magnetic, it just contain cobalt, iron or nickel.
In Crew Shields this afternoon, we have been sketching images based around global warming which will be used towards our final product.
A day to celebrate books! 🎈📚
Today we have talked about and discussed books. We took part in some quizzes, one of which was run by the National History Trust. This was really enjoyable as it was football themed and has lots of famous faces taking part.
We had a teacher swap which meant Miss Hamill came to read us our class text and Miss Shields went to read with Crew Thompson.
This afternoon, we had some time to do some word searches and colour our own bookmarks. It was lovely to see most people dressed up. We had a few Harry Potter characters with us today.
Yesterday afternoon, we explored how magnets work and discovered that when 2 poles are the same they repel each other and when 2 poles are opposites then they attract each other.
This week, we’ve been learning how to convert mixed numbers into improper fractions. We learned the method whole number times the denominator then add the numerator (if there is one). Some children found it easy to use the method whereas some others needed a bit of further support.
This week in Scotty’s the children were working as a crew to follow orders. Children were able to take it in turns and then timed themselves to see if they could beat their time. They managed to shave 3 seconds off their time.
This afternoon in RE, we discussed the reasons why people pray. It was great to hear the children come up with so many reasons and discuss who the people are that they go to in times of worry or when they need assistance. We also had mixed opinions as to whether they though prayer helped. We’ll look forward to exploring some examples of prayers in the next lesson.
Yesterday afternoon, we recorded the results from our science experiment as a line graph. This allowed us to clearly see that the water on the radiator melted at a much quicker rate than the one on the table and one still in the freezer. We were able to make links with this to global warming and the fact the ice caps at melting at a faster rate due to the Earth warming up.
