Stickmen
So today in xp outdoors Crew Hamill made stickmen . They had to use the natural resources from our forest area
Gardeners
Today we have experienced our 5th job in a castle, it was being the castle gardener. We loved planting our pea seed and we cannot wait to see them grow!
Moon Phases-Collaborative learning
Today in mini crews, we created the phases of the moon using Oreos cookies. Crew Elmer had so much fun.
Magic Musician’s
Crew Godley had their first guitar lesson today and Brett was so impressed by our determination to improve our skills. He said we were naturals! We can’t wait for our lesson next week!
We were messengers
Our fourth castle job was a very important one. Today we became messengers and delivered an important message from the battlefield to Carcroft Castle.
Messengers
Today we have been messengers, we learnt that they had an important job of sharing messages to different parts of the land. We shared our message from the Battle of Hastings to the Carcroft castle.
Being cooks
In crew Marsh we are experiencing all the different jobs you might find in a castle. We have been cooks, we decorated biscuits for the King and Queen. What a Friday afternoon treat!
Crew Building – Time to Thrive!
Today, Crew Hamill were extremely lucky as they got to spend some time with Ms Haddock and take part in a few crew building activities. For our first activity, we played ‘spiders web’ in which we had to work as a mini crew to get ourselves through the gaps of the spiders web without touching the chains. We started off easy by going through the middle hole but then it was made more difficult when we had to get lower down to go through the bottom hole and somehow get higher up to get through the top hole. This is where we really needed our crew mates! In the second activity, we had to get from one side of the room to the other without touching the ‘water’. We could only stand on ‘land’ (within the hoops). We had to figure out the best way to get everyone safely from one side of the room to the other without anyone landing in the water.
‘To have’ Verbs
Continuing in our mission to learn all there is to know about verbs, Crew Hamill began investigating ‘to have’ verbs. We learned that the ‘to have’ verb shows when you own something or hold something. We played a game of Left Side/Middle/Right Side in which we had to run to the part of the room that had the correct verb. We then worked in mini crews to identify some verbs within sentences before completing our exit tickets independently.
We learned that:
Has is used when talking about 1 noun.
Have is used for more than one as well as with you and I.
Had is used to show the past tense.
