Today in music we have continued to look at making beats with our percussion instruments. We started off by working with a partner to create patterns and then repeat them back to one another. We then started to learn our new song ’I Wanna Be In A Band’.
Today the children in crew nursery have made their own crew bear. We lovingly stuffed him and made sure we placed a loving heart inside. Each crew member will get the opportunity to take the bear home and have wonderful adventures. We cant wait to read all about what he gets up to.
There is the opportunity of a lifetime to teach in our extraordinary schools, Green Top and Norton Junior School.
You can apply here and #JoinOurCrew!
This morning in crew, we started to think about the Queens life. Different facts about the Queen were scattered outside of the classroom. Children worked in mini crews, one being the researcher (they had to nip outside, read the information and bring a fact back.) They shared this will another crew member who added this to their sugar paper. This process continued with everyone taking a role in the task. In our debrief, we shared the facts we had gathered about the Queens life and discussed the importance of doing this.
Today MI created their own setting description linking to the work we have been doing in expedition. We imagined that we were one of the first people to land on the moon and used the feelings lens for support. We applied our learning from our experience day and grammar day and used our anchor charts to support our ideas. We really thought about our get smart howl by reflecting on our achievements and challenging ourselves to improve after critique. We also used our target grids well for support.
This afternoon, Crew Shields have been working hard on their addition and remembering to exchange when needed.
Really impressed with Lacey P who has shown great resilience when working out tricky problems.
This is certainly the case in Year 5 and 6 at Carcroft. This morning during an Expeditionary Reading Lesson, the pupils were continuing to develop their knowledge and understanding of their Science Case Study as part of this term’s expedition whilst continuing to consolidate their reading skills at the same time.
I was particularly impressed by the way in which the children were working hard to get smart with their shoulder partners and they were also demonstrating real kindness towards one another too. They were really listening to one another and taking turns to share their opinions and viewpoints.
I also spotted pupils text marking to support them with their summary statement and children using their purple pens to self critique their work and make some changes.
Keep up the fabulous work UKS2- you are such fabulous role models for our younger pupils.
Miss Marsh decided she wanted to wake up this morning by challenging us to a water crew challenge. We had to pass the water over our shoulder to a crew member who was holding a cup. Luckily no one got wet and lose much water in the process!
Thank you Summer for the great photos.
