Strength and speed

Today the children had a Scotty’s session and Mick definitely put them through their paces. Children had to work in mini crews to either flip huge tyres, carry one, drag a tyre and also drag a casualty to safety. We even had a group doing steps ups while containing a box of tasmanian devils. Some great team work demonstrated today.

Plot point 1 in MI

Today we wrote our first plot point 🙂 We used all the chotting we created yesterday to help us in our shared write then we applied our own ideas to our work. We used the action, notice, hear and feelings lenses to help us to build our sentences.

Carcroft Changemaker

Auditions have begun in Crew Mcloughlin – who has what it takes to be a Carcroft Changemaker? We had 8 children go head to head in a battle to win, simply by giving a one minute speech about why they would be good for the role. It all came down to that last vote, it was very close but we have our winner… Alicia.

Well done! I am sure you are going to exceed in your role as Carcroft Changemaker.

Learning to blend in Crew MW’s phonics

We’ve been working really hard on our learning to blend steps in phonics this week. We’ve been listening to Fred’s Fred talk, blending the sounds into words and then using our magnetic letters to make the words. Once we’ve made them, we’ve used our ‘Fred talk, read the word’ to sound out and read the words back! We’re all going to be super blenders in no time!
