To hook is into our new writing we looked into our new book – The Tunnel.
We pieced together the book front cover, predicted what might happen, crawled through a tunnel and acted out how the character might be feeling.
The tunnel experience lesson 📖
Self-portraits with an artist
Today in Crew Marsh we were lucky enough to have an artist come into school and teach us the skills to draw a self portrait of our face for our final product. We cannot wait to see it!

Budding Artists in Crew Godley

MI exploring word classes
Today in our grammar session we unpicked the different word classes then applied our knowledge to a variety of questions. Really fab work MI 🙂
MI apply skills in reading
Today we continued to work on the pace of our reading with a 10 minute do now activity to start the lesson. This really pushed us to read the text quickly along with using our skimming and scanning skills to find information quickly. We then moved onto a sats paper where we practised our test technique. We worked on some questions independently then used a demonstration comprehension session for some of the more challenging questions. Tomorrow we will unpick some of the 3 mark questions further using APE to support our answers.
Translation and reflection
Today in maths we learnt how we translate a shape, we described the shapes position then translated it. We also looked at how we reflect a shape across the x and y axis. Some great work MI 🙂

Rounders(After School Club)
In after school club today (This half term) they are doing rounders. We have the prefect weather for it too. The children loved splitting into 2 teams. One team was batting and the other were fielding. The aim of the game was to hit the ball and get round the four cones to the end without the other team catching the ball or dapping the cone before they got there. lots of fun and laughter seen today.
Sketching in the sunshine
Crew Shields made the most of the sunshine this afternoon by going out and sketching with charcoal. As part of our hook week, we have been discussing the community and recapped how Carcroft came into existence because of the coal mining industry. They learned that our school was built for the purpose of educating the miners children so it was only fitting that we sketched some of the building with charcoal.
We haven’t used charcoal as a medium for art before so this was a new experience but something we all enjoyed. Even better that we were catching some rays of sunshine.
