There is nothing like a good crew challenge to start the day. Children worked in groups of 3 or 4 and they had to hold as many pieces of paper as they could. However, the piece of paper couldn’t touch another piece and they had to hold it between different body parts such as knees, head or hands. One group managed to hold 5 pieces.
Firstly, we recapped our learning about appliances and played a game to say whether they were electrical and if they were mains or battery powered. We then discussed what a circuit was and the different components which we use to construct a series circuit. In mini-crews, we made circuits and then drew them using symbols. We had great fun exploring what the different components did.
Next, we investigated what happened in complete and incomplete circuits. Using an energy stick, we explored what happened when we all were connected and the stick lit up. This was amazing!
Finally, we looked at pictures of circuits and then predicted if they would work. We then built them and tested them.
Today we were lucky enough to be visited by cook stars. The children all took it in turns to make a portion of dirty fries. They all chopped, peeled and grated their own fresh ingredient and assembled their meal.
Crew Robson loved watching the Bob Marley Sing-a-Long in Crew this morning.
There were lots of children who were eager to join choir in KS2 next year and participate in Young Voices next year!
Crew Frost enjoyed using the straws to create some crazy hair with powder paint.
In expedition, Crew Wilkinson use sources of evidence around the room to complete independent history research.
We loved making our own pitta pizza today in our expedition lesson. We followed a recipe created by KS1 children at Carcroft in 2023. They were delicious!
Today, we lead our own learning in Crew Wilkinson. We used the text, (Malala Yousafzai: A Voice for Education)to create 3 Reasons To Read questions for our partner to answer. We used our skimming and scanning skills to help us create our questions.
Yesterday the children in Crew Robson practiced their chopping, grating and spreading skills to make their very own pitta pizzas. They really impressed me with how they worked together to support each other. It was lovely to see them enjoying their fruits of their labour too! Great work Crew!
