Today in LKS2, we have been completing our Experience Day. Together, we worked in small groups to provide key information about the first three chapters of our new book ‘Running on the Roof of the World’. The children were read to and then shared summaries of their chapter, which will help us with our writing over the next few weeks! Check out the photos below!
What a great Expedition lesson we had this afternoon, as we continued to learn about human and physical features as part of Case Study 2: Geography. We looked at London to see how it differed from Kabul, Afghanistan (in our previous lesson). We used maps and images of London to see what features we could spot.
I was really pleased with the hard work I saw and how calmly we participated with popcorn and think pair share, during our active lesson. Keep up the good work Crew Gerrard! 😆
We’ve had another fantastic day of maths in Year 3 today! We’ve continued working on multiplications and used dice to help us create groups of, multiplication facts and arrays! We enjoyed it, as it was active and collaborative. We’re feeling super confident about our multiplications 💪 Check out our images below:
This week we have been learning how to multiply. The children have worked hard in mini crews to complete a range of different tasks with many successes. It is lovely to see the children engaged in their learning and excited about maths
Today, we have been working on our maths. We started the session by recapping shapes in Magic Maths. This tested our knowledge on equal sided shapes, name shapes and how many we could see in a picture!
Then we worked on multiplication. We recapped the language, such as repeated addition, groups of and multiplied by so that we felt comfortable with returning to multiplication, before we take the next step. This is really important and we were super stars with it today, during our practical lesson! Check out some images below:
Yesterday, Year 3 and 4 were very lucky to be able to talk to the Conversation Club. The Conversation Club help refugees settle into the country, after escaping their home for fear of being unsafe. LKS2 were interested in hearing about their journey over and how long it will take them to settle into life. This was really important to understand that Coming to Doncaster was not always a positive thing, but offers a chance of hope. Check out our pictures of what happened during this interesting chat!
What a very busy first week back we have had which started with Halloween and ended with Bonfire Night. It was lovely to see all the children dressed up and enjoying their Halloween disco on Tuesday.
This week, we have continued working hard in our Expedition and we have started writing our newspaper articles about what is happening in Afghanistan regarding the Taliban. The children worked hard to create their own headlines and write their introductory paragraph. In maths, we have continued working hard to solve calculations using the column method with many children accessing reasoning and problem solving questions which is amazing.
Our HOWLs this week have been a little up and down but I am sure next week our crew will listening carefully to work hard so we can get smart. I know we can do it!

It’s been a busy first week back after half term and two weeks of rest. We’ve been getting stuck into our new writing, continued to work on our reading fluency and been Historians as our research of the Vikings came to an end. We then began thinking about refugees, as we have an exciting visitor coming in on Monday, to discuss his experience as part of the Conversation Club.
Have a fantastic and safe weekend, Crew LKS2 – enjoy the fireworks! 😆
