In our expedition lesson, we have been investigating how magnets work and what items around the classroom were magnetic. We found that when you put North Pole and North Pole together (the same) the repel but when you put North Pole and South Pole together (opposite) they attract. We found that items such as scissors, paper clips and coins are magnetic but things such as paper, cardboard and pencils are not. 🧲
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!
Today, we completed our case study reflection for Case Study 2. We reflected on all our learning over the case study and answered some questions based on our learning. I was blown away by the amount of knowledge the children had remembered.
We set up our science experiment by measuring 200ml of water to put in each of the jugs. We then placed these into the freezer for 24 hours. After they had frozen, we placed one in the freezer, one on the radiator and one on the table. We then measure the amount of water (ice melted) every half an hour and recorded the results. We then plotted a graph to show our results. We wrote all this up in a scientific report including: a title, prediction, equipment list, method, results and conclusion.
What a fantastic Scotties session we had on Wednesday! We had to work as a team to take down the opponents base. We had to use our listening skills to wait for the different commands that Charlie gave. 👂🏻👭👬
Wow! What a fun filled day we have had in Crew Thompson! 🥳 We started the day off with a reading wordsearch to get our brains warmed up. We followed this up by taking part in the National Literacy Trust quiz online. This really quizzed our reading and football knowledge but we all did really well! We then reviewed our current book so that people can use these when looking for a book to choose to take home. We also visited the library and swapped our reading for pleasure book. We really enjoy visiting the library and seeing all the book available to us. Then, we took part in a draw-a-long and attempted to draw ‘The Gruffalo’. We all tried super hard with this and listened to the instructions really carefully. We have had a super day filled with lots of reading and some super great outfits! 🎩🧸👗
In crew this morning, we continued to work as a team to achieve a common goal. Todays aim was to see how many pieces of paper we could hold with body parts. We had to work in mini crews and follow certain rules. Only one piece of paper could be held between two body parts, each sheet had to touch both crew members and the pieces of paper could not touch. It was super tricky but we managed to get some pieces of paper to stay!
This morning, we have had our experience lesson for our independent write. We sequenced the pictures of the video and then chotted some ideas and vocabulary we might use. We then completed our planning sheet with lots of year 3 features such as fronted adverbials, conjunctions and ambitious vocabulary.
In reading today, we started by finding the definitions of words that was scattered around the room. We then read the text aloud using a mixture of strategies such as round robin and echo reading. We then looked at our reasons to read. We had lots of fantastic ideas and used the text to help us.
In todays PE lesson, we concentrated on developing our tracking and catching skills. We needed to keep our eyes focused on the ball, apply a ready position and move our feet to the ball. First, we warmed up by playing ‘head, shoulder, need and toes” while avoiding the cones and catching the ball. Children then placed their beanbag on top of a cone. They jogged around, avoiding the cones. When I called ‘head’ pupils move to any cone and practise throwing the beanbag up, touching their head and catching the beanbag. We then played “baller” and “switch” for our skills development.
