Ever wanted to be a fly on the wall? Here’s what you’d be seeing in Crew Boswell at the moment: interpreting pie charts with percentages. Just imagine the hum and buzz of concentration, focus and helping each other to go with it!
On Friday 16th June 2023 we will be celebrating Pyjamarama! At Carcroft Primary School we really value the importance of reading and we are going to take part in this special day to celebrate the love of books and reading.
Children will be spending the day reading, enjoying, and sharing stories all in the comfort of their pyjamas, to encourage children to read for pleasure.
During the school day each crew will participate in a range of exciting activities including sharing their favourite books, listening to other children and staff reading their favourite books, reenacting stories through drama and lots more fun activities! We hope that these will support our drive to maintain, promote and engage our children’s interest in reading. Each Crew Leader will create a blog at the end of the day so that you can all see the exciting things that your child/ren have been getting up to throughout the day!
As part of this exciting day we are asking for the children (and staff!) to come to school dressed in their pyjamas or comfy clothes! As always please make sure that these are appropriate for the school day. Children are welcome to wear their slippers but we would advise that children bring these in a separate bag and then change into them once inside the school building.Â
For this occasion we will not be asking for any donations.
In preparation for the day it would be lovely for you to share some of your favourite stories with your child/ren and also encourage them to share theirs with you, and if they don’t have one maybe discuss what books they love to read or share some books together.
As part of this day, and in connection with Father’s Day on Sunday 18th June we would like to welcome all male family members into school, such as a dad, grandad, papa, uncle, brother, whoever is important to your child/ren to share a book together. For every crew this will be at 2:30 until the end of the day. We hope to see as many of you there as possible!Â
We look forward to seeing your child/ren dressed in their pyjamas for this special celebration!Â
Today in our reading lesson we consolidated our learning with an entry ticket. Children had to write a post code home as the main character thinking about his feelings as he arrived at Camp Green Lake. We even tried to include some Y6 writing features! We then read the next part of the text before completing a crossword activity around vocabulary. Finally we worked in mini crews on some book talk questions where we used the text effectively to support our answers. There was some great text marking in MI today which helped us when skimming and scanning for answers.
Today we explored pie charts in our maths lesson. There were some great discussions on how we go about answering some of the more challenging reasoning and problem solving questions. I really praise the collaboration from everyone 🙂
Today we started our second case study and our next core text ‘The Man on the Moon’.
The story who is about Bob, an astronaut, who works on the moon. In a morning he has a slice of toast and a cup of tea so what better way to start our day!
Happy birthday Aaron! Thank you for the buns 🙂
Today, in Crew Marsh we started our new book.. Man on the Moon.
We acted out the first part of the story where Bob wakes up, makes his toast and cup of tea and then gets ready to go to work on his rocket.
I can’t wait to read the writing tomorrow!
I would just like to share how amazingly proud I am of this small group of mathematicians! Not only do they work hard each week to improve their arithmetic scores but they join in with the times-table chants to get smart with their 2,5 and 10 times tables. The resilience they show, the determination and the pride on their faces is amazing! ⭐️
During our final word session today, we reflected on our first two expeditions and the beautiful work we had produced. It was lovely to see children looking back through their books and the learning journey they had been on. They were then able to add some of their work to their final word slides.
