As part of our expedition we have been looking at the British artist, Dennis Creffield. He used charcoal to draw every cathedral in England. We have been using charcoal to draw our school building. We have also thought lots about re-drafting and how we can use kind critique to help each other improve. These are a few of our final pieces 🏫
We have started creating our background to produce our final piece of art work, watch this space……
Today in Crew Pashley, we practiced counting different amounts using different objects. We are practicing counting amounts larger than 20 this week. Today, Charlie counted how many treats we had in our treat tub, and how many conkers Miss Haddock had given us. We also matched the number card to the correct amount of apples on the matching card.
We went on a walk today to visit Granny and take her a basket of fruit and just like Little Red Riding Hood we met the big, bad wolf hiding in the trees! Afterwards we talked about what we saw and heard in the woods and how we felt when we saw such a ferocious wolf. We can now use all these ideas in our writing tomorrow!
What a start to the day! This really challenged our thinking and encouraged some really effective communication skills and team working skills. Well done Crew MI 🙂
We started our new writing topic today by reading Little Red Riding Hood. Then, we chose items for our baskets to send to Granny’s house🏡We talked about which foods are healthy 🍌🍓🍎and not healthy.🍬🧁We chose which foods we would like when we are sick like Granny👵🏻.
We would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who helped and supported KS1’s bake sale, we managed to raise £109 for Doncaster Changing Lives. This is just the start of KS1 being heroes in the Carcroft community, look out for what we do next!
Some children from Crew Marsh explored the outdoor area of our School today. We spoke about the importance of litter picking but also making sure it is safe to do so. Some of them were quite shocked at how much they found but also quite impressed that they could all hold the huge pipe they found too! They did a great job and hopefully they spread their enthusiasm about keeping their environment safe to others in the community 👏
In crew we have been drawing our perfect pets as part of a competition to win some money for school. Some children decided to draw traditional pets, others chose more exotic animals and there was even a hybrid animal in the mix!
I was very lucky this morning to be able to visit Crew Thompson and what a lovely treat I had! The children were checking into crew with the question, ‘What is your spirit animal and why?’. The care and compassion the children held for each other showed how much this crew worked hard, to be kind. The children articulated beautifully why they were protectors, shy, resilient, emotional and many more qualities….. They supported and praised each other, I was blown away by the language used and how much the children had already adapted to the challenges of Year 3.
Today we explored the work of Dennis Creffield. Dennis was a British Artist, in 1985 he was asked to draw every cathedral in England. To do this he used charcoal. We looked at how charcoal was created which linked to our case study on Firefighters. We began to create artwork in the style of Dennis Creffield by drawing our school. We used Austins butterfly to critique our work and improve it. We can’t wait to share our next draft.
