The board for our Summer Term expedition ‘Diverse Doncaster’ was installed in school this week. The children loved going to see their artwork and photographs on display and we loved talking about what they learnt in Year 1.

Space Art
Crew Elmer have created some beautiful art work of the Sun and Moon.We have used a variety of skills and tools to produce these, including dabbing of a sponge and flicking of a toothbrush to create different elements of our image.
KS1 Fieldwork to Lincoln Castle
KS1 were hooked into their new expedition today with an amazing trip to Lincoln Castle.
We took part in 3 different workshops including shield making, knight training and even a walk on the castle walls. We even saw 2 fierce looking dragons who live in the castle.
The children maintained great HoWLs while at the castle and as we walked through the streets on Lincoln to get back on the coach. Great work KS1! We hope you all had a great day because we certainly did!
Please watch our video to find out everything we got up to today!

Wonderdome
To kick start our expedition, Upper Key Stage 2 were whisked off to the Milky Way within the amazing Wonderdome. We were able to fully immerse ourselves into our solar system, exploring each of the planets and learning in-depth information about the Sun, Earth and Moon. Matt, our space expert, was extremely knowledgable about all things space – past, present and future. We were able to discover that Earth is the only planet that humans can live on as it is in the habitable zone (also known as the Goldilocks zone) where the conditions – temperature, water and oxygen – are just right! We were also taught about the first astronauts to travel into space and land on the moon. Did you know there were THREE astronauts? Interestingly, it wasn’t just Neil Armstrong (the first man to step on the Moon) but it was also Buzz Aldrin, who walked on the Moon’s surface alongside Neil, and Michael Collins, who stayed in the space craft to keep it safe. We were excited to find out that there will be another attempt to travel to the Moon next year, with 4 new astronauts set to orbit the moon!

KS1 Final Product
Today our final product for our Spring Term expedition was delivered to the local scout hut. We enjoyed going over to have a look and see it in situ.
Beautiful Work
Today I was absolutely blown away by the beautiful work Crew Godley produced in writing. We wrote our second plot point of our story, All Afloat Noah’s Boat. Noah was getting soaked by the rain and had to usher all the animals onto the boat, it wasn’t an easy task!
Exploring beaches in expedition!
This week in expedition, we have been comparing Cleethorpes and Carcroft! We have been using our noticing lense and talking about what we could see, and how we feel when we visited each place. Have a look about what we thought about each place and our comparisons…
