Athletics preparation 🏃🏻‍♂️🧍🏽‍♀️🥇🥈🥉

24th May 2023Natasha Holdsworth

The children in Crew Robson have been warming up in preparation for their Athletics tournament this afternoon. They timed themselves, tried to beat their own score and then compared their speed to the famous athletes who have visited Carcroft School in the past! We cannot believe James Dasaolu ran 100m in 9.91 seconds!! 🥇🏃🏻‍♂️

Chotting

23rd May 2023Ruth Shields

Before writing plot point 3, it was vital that we spent some time chotting out ideas. As a crew we understand the importance of collating our ideas so that we can magpie, if we get stuck. Some great ideas today and it was even lovely to see children getting themselves a thesaurus when they wanted to up-level their vocabulary.

Reading Vocabulary

23rd May 2023Ruth Shields

This morning we played one of our favourite games: Round table.

Each pair has 1 whiteboard and pen between them. They are et a challenge and given 2 minutes to complete it. Sounds easy… think again. During the task the children aren’t allowed to talk to each other and in addition, they need to be using their skimming and scanning skills not only in the text but to ensure they aren’t duplicating answers.

The task today was to use 2 pages of the text to find as many verbs as they could. We have been using these games to consolidate our learning and ensure we are confident with word classes.

Reflecting on expeditions in MI

22nd May 2023Stacey McClare

Today we reflected on the expeditions we had covered in year 6 so we could start the beautiful work section of our final word presentations. We thought about the guiding questions, the case studies we had covered and all the learning we had produced in each case study. We then thought about the final product for each expedition. It was lovely reflecting on all the amazing things children had produced throughout the year. We then continued with our final word presentations 🙂
