Mathstars 🤘🎸➗✖️

4th February 2022Hannah McLoughlin

Crew Mcloughlin was full of mathstars today. We started the morning off by creating arithmetic anchor charts in mini-crews to help us with our learning; these now look great on our maths working wall and we can refer to them all of the time. We then put our knowledge to the test in a kahoot arithmetic quiz.

Crew Shields – Maths Mania

4th February 2022Ruth Shields

It’s been a numbers kind of day in Crew Shields.

The children have took part in the TTRS Battle of the Bands with other schools. It is lovely seeing their confidence grow with their timetables.

Children had the opportunity to play maths board games with their peers. Not only could they consolidate their maths, they could build their crew relationships and communication. We even had some children support each other through the game rather than being competitive. Great Crew!

Have a lovely weekend Crew Shields 😀

NSPCC Number Day 2022 returns on Friday 4th February!

At Carcroft, we are really excited to take part in this year’s NSPCC Rocks Number Day. NSPCC Number day aims to raise money  to help children across the UK, while having fun with Maths.

This term we have launched Times Tables Rockstars in KS1 and KS2. 

As part of the NSPCC Number Day,  we would like the children to dress up as their favourite rock star on Friday 4th February. During the day, we will be holding competitions between our crews/year groups. The children will even have the opportunity to challenge their crew and deputy crew leaders.

Donations to support the NSPCC will be greatly received.

Crew Shields – 1/2/22

1st February 2022Ruth Shields

Great team building activity to start our morning after the long weekend.

This was a great opportunity for children to develop their speaking and listening skills but also consolidate their maths knowledge.

Each child had a number on their head and they had to ask their peers questions about their number.

E.g – Is my number a 1, 2, 3 or 4 digit number? Is it a multiple? Is it odd? Etc.

Crew MI

We have had a very busy day in Crew MI!

In reading the children used their inference skills to think about images and how they may relate to our new text. There were some fantastic ideas and children shared their thoughts really well.

In writing we watched part of the film The Lorax. We thought about how the film linked to our guiding question in expedition and we completed a role on the wall thinking about the characters appearance and personality. Again some great ideas!

In expedition we became geographers where we explored compass points and maps. We thought about what countries are on the equator along with exploring the tropics.

In maths we practised our timetables, divided numbers by ten and added decimals. We then moved onto looking at multiples. We worked on varied fluency questions first then challenged ourselves with some reasoning and problem solving questions.

Tomorrow I would like to see our howl score improve, we have pledged for this to be a 3. I really hope we can show this.
