Acro & cheer showcase
Today we had our final acro & cheer showcase of the year. It really put a smile on all of our faces seeing how far all of the children have come from attending lunch clubs this year. Well done everyone and thank you to Miss Ellie for facilitating it!
Do you brush your teeth?
This week in Crew we have been exploring the importance of brushing our teeth, daily. We explored the effects of different drinks on our teeth by using eggs, the shell is similar to our tooth enamel. We placed an egg in water, dilute juice and a fizzy drink. We were shocked to see how the dilute juice impacted the egg shell, causing it to dissolve. This reiterated how important to brush our teeth twice a day, before bed and in the morning. It was fascinating to watch how the shells dissolved and made some really strange formations after just leaving it in the liquid for a day. Imagine not brushing your teeth for a day!
Rangoli Patterns
Yesterday in expedition, our case study three, Hinduism, we began looking at Rangoli patterns. Today we explored mixing primary, secondary and tertiary colours.
Recognising coins
In maths we have started our last topic of money and today we have recognised and named all of the coins and notes in the UK.
Y5/6 Cricket Tournament
On Wednesday it was a lovely afternoon to play a game of cricket! We thoroughly enjoyed playing and displayed great sportsmanship, as always, against the 5 other schools. Preston stood out and was my player of the match! We all definitely showcased skills learnt in PE lessons!
Some lovely moments captured…
“Team work makes the dream work” – Preston
“As long as we try our best” – Alicia
“Believe in yourself” – Jude
Thats it for another year of sports tournaments – go team Carcroft!
