In Crew Marsh, today we landed on the moon!
However, the moon was really messy, so we had to clean it up: we hoovered, we swept, we picked things off the floor, tidied tables and organised books.
The moon is now looking clean but we are feeling very tired and hungry after all our hard work.
Look back tomorrow for the best pieces of writing, as a crew we are going to blog the best ones!
Yesterday, we continued with unpicking poetry (a song) and worked as mini crews to rewrite it and adapt the verses. We want to be able to generate as many ideas as possible so that when we write our own poetry for the final product, we have lots of background knowledge to pull from. Some great collaboration and communication demonstrated within mini crews.
Crew Welburn have been working hard on their writing this week in morning jobs and in adult led activities. They’ve used their Fred fingers well to pinch their sounds, and to write their sentences independently. Keep up the hard work Crew Welburn!
Today we have read the next part of our story, where Bob gets changed to board his rocket ship. We loved boarding our class rocket ship and completing a crossword to keep ourselves busy.
Today we started our new writing block with an experience lesson. First, we completed a jigsaw of the front cover and blurb of our new book “Flood”. Then, the children took part in a silent conversation. They annotated the photos from the book with what they noticed, how they might feel and what actions might be happening. The children came up with some fantastic ideas and I was blown away with what they noticed! They even came up with some interesting wonders based on the pictures in the book! I can’t wait to see the ideas they come up with when we start to write our narrative!
Today we started our second case study and our next core text ‘The Man on the Moon’.
The story who is about Bob, an astronaut, who works on the moon. In a morning he has a slice of toast and a cup of tea so what better way to start our day!
Today, in Crew Marsh we started our new book.. Man on the Moon.
We acted out the first part of the story where Bob wakes up, makes his toast and cup of tea and then gets ready to go to work on his rocket.
I can’t wait to read the writing tomorrow!
Today, in Crew Pashley, we finished writing our scripts about an earthquake disaster in Turkey. All the children have done amazing this week and persevered with their writing. They have all challenged themselves and the final scripts have been lovely to read. The children all performed their final scripts to each other. All children were super supportive of each other and enjoyed pretending to host the news.
This week in Crew FE we have been writing a broadcasting script about the recent devastating earthquakes in Syria and Turkey, linked to our current Expedition, Earth Shattering Events, What happens when nature strikes? Today the children had the opportunity to perform these in front of a green screen. I was blown away with children’s fluency and expression skills as well as their ability to follow stage directions whilst reading!
Welcome to Carcroft Newsroom!
This week, children in Crew Thompson have been writing their own scripts about the recent earthquakes that happened in Turkey and Syria. Today, children had lots of fun performing these in front of the the green screen! I was really impressed with how hard the children worked and how they had lots of courage and determination to perform these. Keep up the fab work!
