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.

Experience day!
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!
The Man on the Moon 🌕🚀
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!
Waking up to travel to the moon 🌕
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!
Crew Pashley Newsround
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.
Carcroft Newsflash! 📰🌍🧑🏫
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!
Carcroft Newsroom!
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!
Sharing our expedition learning..
The children loved sharing their expedition learning and sharing what they have learnt so far when answering the guiding question: where could your journey take you?
The children were most excited about sharing their hunt for the kings crown and where they had looked around London. 👑
It was lovely to have parents in to share our learning journey so far, and we cannot wait to share our next case study about space.
Writing in the sunshine 🌞
This morning we are carrying out some peer critique and redrafting our narratives ‘In the shadows’. We have loved this unit of work, especially our cliffhanger endings.
Sharing our Expeditionary learning in LKS2 🌋⛰🌧🌍📖
This afternoon we welcomed lots of our grown ups into school to show them our current extraordinary expedition work, ‘Earth Shattering Events’, ‘What happens when nature strikes?’. We enjoyed sharing the work that we completed during Hook Week (making a volcano, earthquake simulation, walking through water and Earth Day celebrations!), as well as the Science (rocks and soils) and Geography (mountains) coverage from Case Study One.
We also got the opportunity to share our fabulous writing including our Lava recount and our broadcasting scripts.
Thank you to all of the grown ups (and newborn babies!) who came to share their child/rens learning this afternoon. It was lovely to see how proud the children were of the beautiful work that they have been producing.
We look forward to sharing the rest of our learning with you all in July at our COL Event on Wednesday 12th July! We hope to see you then! 😁
