Today Crew Gray took part in the Hula Hoop Pass Challenge today. The goal was to pass the hoop all the way around without anyone letting go, which led to plenty of twisting, ducking, and creative moves. The crew laughed their way through the challenge and encouraged each other the whole time. By the end, Crew Gray had not only completed the task but strengthened their teamwork in the process.
Protocol’s are embedded in our everyday standards at Carcroft. Think pair share is a learning strategy that first involves the children thinking about a question individually, then discussing their ideas with their partner, and lastly sharing their ideas with the whole class. For nursery we signal with our hands to que the children to “talk to their partner” to build this protocol in crew Frost. We can’t wait to try our pop corn protocol next! Well Done Crew Frost.
Crew Ramsay have been working in groups with our new student teacher, Miss Bagworth to create poppy art for Remembrance Day. We had 2 minutes of silence to honour the fallen and we celebrated by making paper tissue poppies. Here we are getting crafty and talking about our ‘Be Kind’ HOWL for this significant event.
in Crew today they got to build their own raft and checked to see if it would float.
This week in Academic Crew, Crew McLoughlin took part in a lively Fraction Kahoot challenge to refresh their understanding of fractions, equivalent values, and mixed numbers. It was a fantastic way to revisit key math concepts in a fun and interactive setting, and we were so proud to see everyone showing focus, enthusiasm, and a positive attitude throughout the challenge!
Last week in crew they did the cup challenge. They had an elastic band with string tied to it. The children had to pull on the string to stretch the elastic band and put it over a cup. They did this with each cup to make a pyramid.
Crew Ramsay have been working in mini crews on their tables, carefully using fine motor skills to create a green paper chain to resemble a crocodile from the linked text “The Enormous Crocodile”. They challenged themselves to see who could create the longest one. Table 2 came out in first place, however, in true crew style we decided to make one enormous crocodile by adding everyone’s together and created a “crew crocodile”.
Today, Upper Key Stage 2 received a visit from an officer with South Yorkshire Police to learn all about online safety. Lots of us were surprised to find out that a lot of the apps we use each day (Snapchat, Whatsapp, Facebook etc.) actually have an age limit of 13 years old!! This means that we shouldn’t actually be using them yet. We also learned all about the ways in which we can stay safe online – not sharing passwords or personal information, never talking to people we don’t know and sharing any concerns we have with trusted adults.
Today in crew we had to use cocktail sticks and marshmallows to make a 3d shape. Here’s how we got on
Today, Crew McLoughlin took on a fun and creative crew challenge! Each table was tasked with drawing a house – but there was a twist. The pen was tied to several pieces of string, and the only way to guide it was by working together, holding and pulling the strings. No one was allowed to touch the pen directly!
The challenge sparked plenty of laughter, teamwork, and problem-solving as everyone figured out how to control the pen and bring their house drawings to life.
