Basketball Tournament (22.3.22) 🏀🏀

22nd March 2022Simon Gerrard

LKS2 were lucky to hold a basketball tournament at school today and they played brilliantly well. We came up against some tough opponents in the glorious weather today, but I couldn’t be prouder of the effort the children showed. They never once gave up, tried their very best and played with a smile. We came 3rd and 4th, but will only keep on improving. Well done for your effort guys and keep up it up!

Design and Technology in Crew MI

21st March 2022Stacey McClare

Today we continued our expedition lessons by looking at tool safety and thinking about some of the equipment and materials we will use to create our photo frames. We all had a go at using a saw to cut a piece of wood. We then used sand paper to ensure the sides of our wood were smooth. We also used wood glue to join some of the wood together. We evaluated the process thinking about praises, notices and wonders. We are all looking forward to creating our own photo frames during the rest of the week.

Research in Crew MI

21st March 2022Stacey McClare

Today we started to think about our next piece of writing, a monologue. We discussed what this was and looked at different examples, unpicking features. We then decided which animal we would base our monologue on then started researching facts on our animals appearance, diet, habitat and why it is classed as vulnerable. We are looking forward to continuing our research tomorrow!

LKS2 testing surfaces (18.3.22) 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬

18th March 2022Simon Gerrard

Today, LKS2 have been testing the surfaces of different materials. We asked the question of how far a toy car could travel on different surfaces and which was best for going the furthest distance. This was a great lesson that had a great buzz to it. The children enjoyed it and are loving their experiments at the moment. Well done on a great lesson guys!

It has been a pleasure taking the Y5/6 children to the dodgeball tournament this afternoon. The children really excelled themselves with their dodgeball skills and worked really hard in every game. It was great to see their team spirit! We came 4th out of 10 teams, massive well done carcroft! 🙌🏼

Writing in Crew MI

Today we have continued to write our persuasive letters. Children are working so hard to ensure they are using their target grids to support their writing and we are really impressed with the quality of what they are producing. We should finish our letters tomorrow and are looking forward to reading them out loud to each other. Here are some examples…

LKS2 Recording Day (15.3.22)🎸🎵🎶

15th March 2022Simon Gerrard

LKS2 were lucky to visit XP today, as they recorded their song. We have been working on this during our music Case Study, as part of the final product that the Trust are making. This includes all Year 3 and 4 pupils writing, singing and recording their own parts of the song. The children sang beautifully and should proud of their efforts today!

Keep an eye out for the final product – we’ll share it as soon as it is fully completed. For now, enjoy some snaps of the recording session!
