We had lots of fun in Crew Welburn last week. We explored our provision areas, began working on our final product plant pots so that the base coats were dry, and began looking at how the numbers 4 and 5 are made within our maths lessons. We also had a go at challenging ourselves to independently make and write words using our phonics sounds! Miss Welburn was very impressed with our Fred talk and blending.
After completing our do now on converting between fractions, decimals and percentages, we completed different activities on mymaths to consolidate our learning. We really did reflect on the achievements we had already made and challenged ourselves further to improve 🙂 Our exit ticket then challenged us even further, however we worked collaboratively and supported each other to find the answers. A fab maths lesson MI 🙂
This week as part of our Expedition, ‘The Power of Life’, children have really enjoyed creating, exploring and investigating circuits in Crew Pashley. Initially, children were given the key components and left to work as mini crews to create a simple circuits. Some crew members were a whizz at this and completed it within record time! Throughout the week we then explored what happened when additional components were added such as multiple bulbs and multiple batteries. We also spent some time exploring conductors and insulators and the affect that they had on the circuit. Ask us about it and we will happily share our findings! Next week, we will be writing a report all about it!
Y2 have loved sharing their writing about Stan and Mabel with the Y1’s. It was great to hear the children share their work proudly and they all read their work beautifully.
In after school club today they made their own den , climbed trees and splashed in the water.
Hello Everyone!
We are looking for some volunteers in Lower Key Stage Two to come into school and listen to some children read on a 1:1 basis.
Scarily, 1 in 4 children leave primary school unable to read well, resulting in life long consequences. It is our mission at Carcroft to ensure that all of our children leave our school able to read well.
If you have some time to spare, a day, a few hours or even an hour, and enjoy spending time with children then we would love it if you could come and help us to support our children with reading.
We hope that from this experience our children will become better readers and develop a stronger love for reading and for you to gain an enormous amount of pleasure from seeing the difference that a few hours can make to a child’s reading ability, confidence and enjoyment.
Ideally we would appreciate volunteers giving us their time until the end of the Summer Term, however if you are only able to commit to a few weeks or months then please do not hesitate to enquire.
If you feel like this is something that you can offer then please pop into school and ask to speak to myself, Mrs Elmer (KS2 Reading Lead) and I will provide you with more details.
I look forward to hearing from you.
This week we ventured to the library where we chose our own book to read. We are thoroughly enjoying reading and having miss listen to us read.
This week we have been comparing and ordering decimals by working collaboratively. We really enjoyed that it was active and will keep reconsolidating it so it sticks!
In PE, we have been practicing basic retreating motion with basic body kicks.
Some great team work today.
