Today was my second day back after my maternity leave and I was blown away by some of the beautiful work going on across school.
I also spent yesterday in every crew and spotted every pupil engaged and on- task- it made me so proud! But I forgot my IPad. However, today I made up for it and ensured that I captured some of the fabulous-ness going on across our school.
Today I spotted:
Crew Longley developing their teamwork skills and communication skills in particular during their morning Crew session. They had to move pieces of spaghetti from the table to the floor! They were concentrating so hard!
Then I ventured into Crew Fox whereby they were working hard to ensure that their independent writing was of a Year 6 standard by critiquing a piece of work and checking it against the gold standard on their rubric. The children were certainly working hard to get smart in there today.
Next I had a swift visit to Crew MI whereby pupils were listening to Mrs McClare modelling reading aloud. Children then used her great model to then read fluently in their pairs. There was some fabulous peer work going on in Crew MI today. Great reading guys!
After being in UKS2, I then visited our youngest pupils in school. I visited Foundation Stage. F1 pupils were working hard to use their construction skills to create a fabulous structure, which they shared was a slide. What I loved about this crew, was the way in which they worked together as a mini crew to take turns with support from Miss Chapman.
I had a little nosey in Crew Godley who were busy on their IPads reading their books on Accelerated Reader and also a flying visit to Crew Flaherty, who were working collaboratively to read their text and answer questions. Some great reading opportunities for our children which was great to see.
I had a quick catch up with Jess and Miss Smith as I whizzed through the hall. Jess was busy burning off some energy, practising her gymnastic skills before heading back to her crew. It was lovely to see you both.
Finally I concluded my morning with a visit to F2, whereby I spotted children cooking up a real treat in the cafe but also children working hard to improve their letter formation with Miss Evans. Some children were also practising their fine motor skills drawing people in the writing area.
I loved spending time in and out of classes and I can’t wait to visit more classes over the next two weeks! Keep up the great work Crew Carcroft!
