In Crew Ramsay, we have been using the Base Ten resources to help us add two, two digit numbers! We used place value grids to see the ones and the tens with our fast maths eyes! Then we could easily calculate the sum of our parts!
In Crew Ramsay, we have been fulfilling our pledges in writing by accessing our ‘Support Station’ for the scaffolding we need. We all know what our areas for development are and what resources can support us whilst we become great. We even go and collect them before we start writing. Here we are, supporting ourselves to become our best! Check us out popping to the Support Station to collect our bits!
Today Crew Gray took part in the Hula Hoop Pass Challenge today. The goal was to pass the hoop all the way around without anyone letting go, which led to plenty of twisting, ducking, and creative moves. The crew laughed their way through the challenge and encouraged each other the whole time. By the end, Crew Gray had not only completed the task but strengthened their teamwork in the process.
Protocol’s are embedded in our everyday standards at Carcroft. Think pair share is a learning strategy that first involves the children thinking about a question individually, then discussing their ideas with their partner, and lastly sharing their ideas with the whole class. For nursery we signal with our hands to que the children to “talk to their partner” to build this protocol in crew Frost. We can’t wait to try our pop corn protocol next! Well Done Crew Frost.
Crew Robson showed kindness by donating their small change to the Children in Need appeal.
Crew Ramsay have been working in groups with our new student teacher, Miss Bagworth to create poppy art for Remembrance Day. We had 2 minutes of silence to honour the fallen and we celebrated by making paper tissue poppies. Here we are getting crafty and talking about our ‘Be Kind’ HOWL for this significant event.
Crew Ramsay headed down to crew Barber to narrate our very own character-driven narratives to a real audience! We took so much pride in our work and loved performing as storytellers. Here we are in action…
Crew Robson have blown me away with their HoWLs during writing this week. They have been so focussed and determined to show off the amazing writing skills.
