We started off our day by taking part in a yoga session as part of our CREW. We all really enjoyed this!

Happy half term!
Happy half term! Today we began our independence writing linking to The Lorax. We have spent lots of time planning our writing and creating chunks of sense to apply into our own paragraphs. We used our rubrics to remind us of Y6 expectation too. 🤩
Some of us received a lovely treat from Miss Gilliland this morning – pancakes and a cup of tea! This was a thank you from Miss Gilliland for keeping secure HOWLS whilst I am not in class teaching. Well done guys 🤩
This half term we have achieved quite a few HOWL score 3s. We know that we are improving and our focus and determination is getting stronger. Next half term is going to be a good one!
Improving pace and stamina in academic crew 📖
In crew this morning we were timed to answering 3 questions in 10 minutes and challenged to green by creating our own questions for peers within this time limit. We loved getting active and learning at the same time. Reading pace and stamina has been our focus this half term in academic crew and we can definitely see an improvement.
Expedition link
Maths, maths, maths!
We created our own anchor charts today… focusing on the skills we’ve been working really hard to grasp: four operations of fractions, % of amounts, multiplying and diving by 10,100,1000 and 4D Divide by 2D.
Poisonous spider web 🕷🕸
Crew Marsh had to try and get into the classroom without catching the poisonous spider web.
WOW living streets
Carcroft School has recently signed up to living streets, this is where the children get rewarded for walking to school once a week, every week in a month. The children can then earn a badge each month and hopefully will earn all 11!
Living streets closely links to all of our expeditions: looking at how we can help to protect our planet. Walking to school at least once week is a great way for us to help the world.
Discovering rainforest tribes
Whilst reading about the Yanomami tribes, we generated facts, opinions and questions that we would like answering…
During academic crew, we critiques this fractions map and wondered how we can use tools like this at home to get smarter!
Crew MI science lesson
We had a great lesson learning about plants. We actually dissected a flower so we could see the different parts and we labelled them. We learnt about pollination and even acted it out.
Mid week Wednesday
We’ve started reading The Vanishing Rainforest this week by Richard Platt.
We engaged with a ‘conscience alley’ to debate whether we agree with the ‘nabë’ planning on chopping down many of the rainforests trees. Many of us disagreed based on this being unfair for the tribe who live in the forest – no forest means no animals and no food for many people. Some children agreed as more trees could be planted… we listened well and tried to build on each other’s ideas.
This afternoon we practiced different forms of passing in PE. We now are more accurate in passing and aiming!
