Be Kind Treat
In Crew Haddock we have been working on be kind howl and we have to be kind to our crew and others from when we come to school right up to end of break. 4 of our children hit the target today and got to spin the wheel. The children in our crew got to choose what they would like on the wheel . They also get an extra treat if they can hit the be kind 3 times out of 5 in a week. Here is what they won. Well done Crew Haddock.
Amelia Earhart experience lesson
Crew Marsh have had a wonderful experience lesson making their own paper aeroplanes and then using the hat and goggles to feel what it would be like to fly around our playground.
Chapter one celebrations in MT
A massive well done to all the children who took part in Chapter one! You have showed so much progress with your reading this year. We all celebrated them today where they spoke with their volunteers on line and received their certificates. We all loved listening to and performing the poem at the end! Thank you to the chapter one representative, Lauren, she has been an amazing support this year 🙂
Dance Workshop
Charcoal Art
This week, Crew Hamill have made a start on Case Study 3 – Art. In our first lesson, we have explored our focus artist of Henry Moore who is famous for being commissioned to produce charcoal drawings of coal miners. We then had a go at experimenting with the medium of charcoal ourselves using different techniques, seeing what effects we could create. Some of us even attempted to draw with it!
Life Skills.
One of our favourite life skills is chopping fruit for our fruit salads, yummy!
The children focused on the different skills and techniques that are needed to chop soft and hard fruits. We used different hand motions when chopping a banana in comparison to chopping an apple.
Everyone participated and focused brilliantly. Amazing work!
What happens to chalk when it is exposed to different types of weathering?
Today we carried out an experiment to investigate what happens to chalk when it is exposed to different types of weathering. This investigated represented the three different types of weathering: biological, chemical and physical. We set up our experiment by pouring water (physical weathering) into a cup and vinegar (chemical weathering) into the other. We put the chalk into the cups and set a timer for 5 minutes. We observed what happened to the chalk during the 5 minutes. We then used a piece of sandpaper to lightly rub the piece of chalk for 30 seconds. We concluded that the chalk in the vinegar changed the most because after the 5 minutes in the vinegar it had holes and slight cracks in it. The chalk in the water didn’t have any changes after the 5 minutes.
Peter Thorpe Artwork
This week the children in Crew Robson have worked hard to create a piece of artwork based on the work of Peter Thorpe.
They have created several drafts and have given and received critique to improve their work each time.
Today we put the finished touches to our artwork by adding the Moon and a rocket zooming through space.
The children were so proud of the artwork they created and I am so proud of them too!
Expedition biscuits.
For our story in expedition, we decided to make our own little pigs. We used pink icing with some marshmallows and googly eyes.
we enjoyed eating these as much as we did making them!
