We had an extended crew this morning doing cojo. They really enjoyed this and making the assault course bigger each time.
Cojo
Fractions of an amount
In arithmetic, we have been looking at finding fractions of an amount. We looked at both unit and non unit fractions. We were encouraged to use the method which helps to ensure we calculate the correct answer. Some of use moved on to worded problems that required us to use the skills we’d learned.
Art – New Artist
This week we have started our art slice where we will be learning the skills of collage. To start with we have learned about a new artist Jessa Dupuis who is known for her collage work. In addition, we did a quick recap about Waltraud Nawratil who we studied for our painting art slice.
Book Talk – The Last Bear
Today, we completed our book talk lessons which consisted of us unpicking the text and ensuring we understand the vocabulary we’re reading. We had some good discussions about the vocabulary and used different skills to help us understand the meaning and context of the words.
The beat goes on
We have now started our music cases study which we’ve all been excited about. We spent our first lesson looking at musical vocabulary such as beat, pitch, volume and melody.
We then had a go at finding the best in a piece of music which took us a bit of practice but we got there eventually.
We’re going on an adventure!
Technology Hunt 🔍
To continue our computing lessons, Crew Hamill went on a safari hunt around school! However, we weren’t trying to hunt out animals 🦓🐅🦒 we were searching for technology 💻🖨️📱We went around school and made a list of all the technology we could find and made a note of where things were. It was amazing to see just how much technology there is in Carcroft Primary – computers, laptops, interactive screens and printers just to name a few.
Music
In music so far we have learnt how many clap you do for each animal and to put into a song
Scottys
They worked together as a crew to help each other to the other end
Trying to find penguin!🐧
In today’s experience lesson we tried to see if we could find where penguin was because he was feeling lonely and sad. Luckily using our telescopes we managed to find him rowing in an umbrella!
