KS1 really enjoyed their festive Christmas lunch with their Christmas jumpers on 🎄
Christmas Lunch 🎄🎄
Citizenship crew in MI
This week in our citizenship crew we discussed what a community is and what it means to belong to one. We thought about our school community, who is part of it and how each person contributes. We thought about the term ‘community spirit’ and what it means to us. We then worked in mini crews to explore some images of a community. We thought about what is happening in each picture, how the people are contributing to the community and how the people are showing ‘community spirit’. In our debrief we thought about how we all could positively contribute to our communities and we made our own pledges. A great session crew MI 🙂
Roman Soldier Mosaic
In Crew Haddock today they have done a Roman Mosaic for expedition
Making Different Amounts
Today in maths we looked at making amounts in different ways.
We started by working in small groups and using the concrete resources to make different amounts. Once we were confident we worked independently to evidence what we had learnt.
Great work CrewRobson!
We are artists🧑🏻🎨
We have made a start on our final product artwork that will sit alongside our monologue in our very own frames. In our first lesson, we lightly sketched an outline to then tomorrow make our spider monkey come alive with a pop of abstract colour using oil pastels. Watch out on the blog for our finished pieces!
Step by step we followed miss’ individual pencil markings – we think we were pretty successful, don’t you? Shout out to Kaylum for being Miss’ art expert and practising his artwork at home prior to the lesson – he did a great job of helping everyone and his art piece was definitely better than miss’!
KS1 Celebration of Learning
KS1 performed beautifully to their grown ups this afternoon, celebrating their expedition and explaining how we were heroes in our own community. The children articulated their learning journey with such confidence and pride. To bring our expedition to a close we shared with our grown ups that we raised an incredible £306 to purchase gifts to share with Hallam FM Christmas Mission, these have been wrapped by the children and will be delivered over the coming weeks. We are so proud of our children and would like to thank all of our parents for their support this term.
Meeting a family of mice 🐁
Today we continued to read The Smartest Giant in Town. The next character George meets is a family of mice whose house has burned down. For our experience lesson we made mice. They were very cute!
MI working hard in art
We are really enjoying our art slice and are trying really hard to be resilient when we find some of the skills challenging. We can’t wait to complete our final pieces.
Using our prepositional language in maths
In maths today, we read the story ‘We’re going on a bear hunt’. We used the language, ‘over’, ‘under’ and ‘through’ to describe what the characters were doing. After we learnt the vocabulary, we built the story using small world resources and showed how the characters moved through the story, using our new vocabulary to describe what they were doing. We then placed our peg dolls around the classroom and used language like, ‘on top of’, ‘underneath’, ‘inside’ and ‘next to’ to describe where the peg dolls were.
Christmas camps 🎄
After the new year we have camps running at Carcroft – 2nd January – 5th January. Sign up using the link below. Coach Luke is doing the camps.
