Children created some great chotting on Friday with Miss Thompson then used their ideas in a shared write before applying to their own work. Today we all took part in a shared write for the second chunk of PP3 with a real focus on modifying our verbs. We are looking forward to finishing our work on Wednesday.
Today in our RE lesson we considered what makes humans special by exploring beliefs about the soul. We first of all recapped humanism then we watched a video clip ‘What makes me me?’ We paused at different points to answer questions. We then moved onto thinking about the inner soul and the soul. We discussed the two terms and children’s thoughts and feelings on these. We then looked at a variety of quotes on peoples views on the soul and we discussed them in mini crews. We then thought about what our own soul may look like and we had a go at drawing this. We wrote words around our drawing to show what we thought our inner self or soul does. We then took part in a gallery walk where we looked at everyone else’s drawings. We discussed what we saw in mini crews and how our own drawing were similar and different to others.
Some great case study reflections on the digestive system 🙂 Children used the knowledge they had gained through case study one to write an explanation of what happens during digestion.
We have been looking at repeating patterns and what the word ‘repeating’ means. We talked about how it is the same thing again, and again, and again. We started by chanting each of the colours in the pattern, which helped us to continue the pattern – even without the pictures on the board to help us! We then had to work together to see if we could find out what colour would come next in the pattern.
To demonstrate our learning, we then had an individual pattern that we then had to complete with the correct picture. We were really kind to our friends and if we noticed that they had made a mistake we helped them to correct it.
In Crew McGlone, we looked at how the numeral 2 may look a little different when we see it out and about in the world. It may be a different colour, be written in a different font, be bigger or smaller… but it still represents 2!
Once we had talked about this, we went on a numeral hunt around the classroom. We had to work together as a crew to find as many different numeral 2s as possible. We were successful!
Today the children were learning to balance when jumping from 2 feet to 2 feet or 2 feet to 1 foot and then they smashed jumping from 2 feet, half a turn and then land on 2 feet .
Last week 10 children from KS1 represented Carcroft at a basketball tournament at XP.
Archie even won a special medal.
Well done everyone!
The children in Year 2 have loved reading to some of the children in Crew Wilkinson. They are working hard to improve their fluency by reading each day. Keep up the great work everyone!
Today in KS1 we filmed and recorded our song and dance that will form part of our final product.
Geoff from XP came in with all his recording equipment and he is now going to start putting the video together for us. We are very excited to share it will you later in the term!
Crew Hamill had so much fun going out into our forest area to complete our next Scotty’s session. This session focused on creating a shelter that we would be able to protect ourselves from the elements in! We worked in mini crews to use the equipment given to create a space that we could hide from the rain. We then looked at what we could put inside our shelter to make it more comfortable! Well done to Kira and Taylor who earned Scotty’s Heroes this week due to their stewardship for packing away the equipment another crew had left behind!
