Crew Tucker Weekly Review (15.10.21)

15th October 2021Simon Gerrard

Wow, what a busy last week getting to know Crew Tucker, before we become Crew Gerrard!  

Our main learning this week was our experience day around Afghanistan. We wanted the children to experience what a typical day could be like in Afghanistan, we researched where Afghanistan is located, the capital city and how to say hello in Pashto and Dari. This experience day is in preparation for us to answer the second half of our guiding question: Coming to Doncaster: Why then? and why now? As after half term children will be looking at why people move to Doncaster and seek refuge. 

Watch out for our experience day video and the recipe for Afghanistan biscuits. 

Have an amazing half term – rest up well, get lots of sleep and have lots of fun! 

I really can’t wait to be your teacher when we return and I know that you will all miss Mr Tucker. We’ll have to make sure that we really impress him with our learning.

Wow, what a busy last week!

We have had a lovely last learning week in Crew MG, however we are sad to see Mr G move to his new crew.

Crew MI 11th-15th October

Crew MI have had a very busy week! In writing they have continued to work hard on their Harry Potter narrative which is now complete! The progress they have made has been incredible. We have tried really hard to use varied adverbial, relative clause, coordinating and subordinating conjunctions and speech. As the unit has progressed, children have become much more confident when using their purple pen. They have acted on feedback, upleveled different sentences and edited their work. We are extremely proud of the writing produced.

In maths we have continued to work on our addition and subtraction skills. We have worked on using a written method and tried to solve problems where their are missing numbers. This caused us some challenges however we were resilient and never gave up. We also worked extremely well with ours peers to support each other when answering these problems.

In Reading we set up a conscience alley where we thought about positive and negatives about a topic. The children really enjoyed this and came up with some great ideas for debate!

We hope you all have a lovely half term and we look forward to seeing you all back in school in 2 weeks.

A spooktacular week in nursery!

12th October 2021Gemma Whitehead

This week in crew nursery, we are learning about Halloween – an event that some families choose to celebrate together! To start our spooktacular week, we have been dressing up as witches and wizards and making spooky meals in the home corner! We have drawn pumpkins using chalk and have made pumpkins using the play dough. To strengthen our motor skills, we have carefully hammered golf tees into a pumpkin – we needed to be really careful and concentrate when doing this!
