Keeping Carcroft Clean! ♻️🚮
As part of hook week, Crew Hamill helped to clear some of the rubbish from our school environment. We were surprised at some of the larger items we found! We can’t wait to put this to use in our next hook week task. Keep your eyes peeled… 👀
Let’s clean up our environment 🚮
This afternoon, Crew Shields set off with their litter pickers to start cleaning up our environment. We collected lots of rubbish which will be put to use in our next expedition task. What this space…
Looking after our school environment🚯
As part of hook week, we have been outside on to the school field to pick up some litter. It was really surprising to see how much litter there is on our field. We collected lots of rubbish which we aim to make some artwork out of later on in the week.
Sculpture making in MI
Today we explored some of the sculptures Yinka our artist had created. We thought about what we could see and what we thought the art was showing and representing. We offered our own critique giving praises, notices and wonders for each piece of art. We learnt that Yinka created the art in response to migration and the structures mimic the sails of the ships as they migrate across the sea. We then looked at a model that our teachers had created! We enjoyed giving praises, notices and wonders for this! We then got busy on our own sculptures!
MI’s finished book covers
Here are our finished book covers which will be part of our cultural diversity display in our library. We enjoyed using African patterns on our art work as well as thinking about the significant people in our lives who will be on the spine of our books.
History in MI
Today we started to think about what a historian is and what history is. We explored the terms chronological order, reference point and timeline. We thought about the historical events we already knew and tried to think of their place in history. We looked at and explored a world history timeline, placing the events we had voiced in the correct place. We thought about BC and AD and what these mean. We then worked in mini crews to order events in chronological order. We then looked more at where the 19th century is on our timeline and which events in history are around this time.
The Jolly Postman visits the UK
To hook us into our new expedition we experienced a very British afternoon.
We started with some ballroom dancing.
We then ate and drank a classical British treat of scones laced with butter and jam and a nice warm cup of tea.
Hopefully the postman will enjoy his visit to the UK.I wonder where he will go next?
Young Voices 2024 🎤
We have arrived for our rehearsal at Sheffield Arena for Young Voices 2024!
New Class text
Today, we have started our new class text. We are excited to discover how this links to our Spring expedition.
Since September, we’ve also read George and the giant Peach, History Hackers – A Roman Rescue and The Night I met Father Christmas. We also read some of The Christmasaurus but unfortunately we didn’t get time to finish it and January isn’t really the time for a Christmas novel.
Crew Shields absolutely love our shared reading text and it’s something we look forward to. Everyone is always asking “Just one more chapter” 😊
