The London Eye 🎡

9th May 2023Lauren Marsh

Did we manage to find the King his crown at the London Eye? The answer is no! We loved creating the London Eye outside and understanding how the pods constantly moved. We also loved watching videos of the views you can see from the eye. I cannot wait to read the writing tomorrow!

Coronation Coins

We have been working hard this afternoon to develop our own commemorative, coronation coins. We had some fantastic ideas about what we should include, including the King 🤴 a crown 👑 a lion 🦁or a flag 🇬🇧

Celebrating the coronation of King Charles III! 👑

9th May 2023Sarah Mcglone

We have enjoyed lots of fun activities linked to the coronation of King Charles. We started by making our own crowns, decorating them with lots of sparkly sequins, pom poms and glittery paper.

Then, we made our own crown shaped biscuits for us to eat at our special party on Friday. We made sure that we washed our hands properly before we mixed our ingredients together. We rolled our dough out and used the cutter to shape it into a crown before Mrs Rafter put them in the oven to bake. The following day, we used icing and sprinkles to decorate our biscuits ready to taste at our party! 🎉

On Friday, it was time to party! Aimee and the kitchen staff very kindly prepared party food for us and we all sat and enjoyed a picnic, before tucking into our delicious biscuits!

Once we had eaten and tidied away it was time to turn the music up and have a dance! 🕺💃

Expedition through provision 🚚🚤

8th May 2023Sarah Mcglone

We have taken our learning from expedition and continued it through into provision. We love playing with the trucks and diggers and noticed that when we play with them in the sand, their wheels make a pattern. We wondered what the patterns would look like if we used paint so we attached a roll of paper to our slide, added our paint and let them go! We loved the patterns the different colours made.

Max and Kingsley have been using their imagination by pretending that our pallet is a boat. They were both relaxing and apparently they were going to try and catch some fish! Max told me that they didn’t need to row and get tired because their boat has a motor – happy fishing! 🎣

Since we looked at different journeys, we have been thinking about the journeys our emergency vehicle toys might make. We’ve worked together to create a road map, adding other vehicles that might be on the road, as well as buildings that they might pass on their route. We used the blocks from our construction area to help us build the local area around our road. Hunter even made a police station where the policeman was having a nap before he started his next shift! 👮🏻‍♂️We worked so hard as a team and we showed great resilience when it came to building – great work!

Coronation Celebrations in LKS2!

6th May 2023Sophie Elmer

Wow! What a FANTASTIC day we all had on Friday 5th May 2023 at Carcroft Primary School. Throughout the morning each Crew got to share their British Values Home Learning that they had done! In Crew FE we were blown away with David’s creation which was an AMAZING castle and in Crew Thompson Archie and Charlie took the limelight with their Coronation ceramic plates! Some fabulous work has taken place in lots of homes! Thank you to all of those adults at home who supported with this and to the children for bringing them in for us all to share! At lunchtime we enjoyed all sitting together and having an indoor picnic (thanks to the traditional British weather, what Bank Holiday ever passes without some rainfall!?!). In the afternoon, we then enjoyed creating crowns, flags and other Coronation memorabilia that we got to take home with us to help us to continue the celebrations over the weekend!
