It’s been another fantastic week in Crew LKS2! We have loved building our fluency up in reading this week, as we tackled our book How to be a Viking.
We also had one our favourite ever experience days, where we re-enacted raiding Lindisfarne. This was such an awesome experience after we learned about the variety of reasons the Vikings came to settle in Doncaster. This helped us answer our Guiding Question further, Coming to Doncaster; why then and why now?
What an exciting week we have had in LKS2. We have had such a great week and the highlight for Year 3 and 4 was certainly our Viking experience at Murton Park. This hooked us further into our new Expedition, where we will answer the Guiding Question “Coming to Doncaster; why then and why now?” We absolutely loved it! Enjoy your weekend LKS2! 😆
We’ve had another fantastic week in Crew Tucker with lots of great learning taking place both inside and outside the classroom.
Our highlight of the week has to be our visit to Murton Park, York where the children spent the day experiencing what life was like for a Viking. Dressed to impress, the children learnt how to be handle weapons to guard the village, made bread using Viking recipes and techniques and created pottery which we have brought back to school to display in our classroom.

This week also saw our class celebrate our very first Learning Legend. This award went to none other than… Rome Wilson! Rome has made a brilliant start to his time in Year 3 and has demonstrated his determination to work hard to get smart in all lessons. He has created some beautiful work, particularly in Art where he has shown a real flare for the subject; his clay dragon eye is truly impressive!
Each and every member of our crew has worked incredibly hard this week. Starting Key Stage Two can be a challenge but they have risen to this and excelled our expectations. Keep up the hard work Crew Tucker.
Have a great weekend and we look forward to seeing you all bright and early on Monday morning.
Hit play on the video below to see all the amazing activities our children experienced today at Murton Park.
We can’t wait to build on this exciting hook to help the children get smart and produce beautiful work for our ‘Coming to Doncaster; why then and why now?’ expedition.
What an amazing day Year 3 have had on their visit to Murton Park!
The children spent the day fully immersed in the life of a Viking by becoming Vikings themselves! Dressed to impress, the children were invited to join a Viking Village and learnt how to make bread, make pottery, gather fire wood and become warriors to defend the village from Anglo-Saxon attacks.
The children behaved impeccably and had so much fun. They made us all proud and demonstrated how working hard to get smart doesn’t just happen in the classroom.
The pictures below will give you a flavour for our day, but look out for the video we will be posting soon with even more pictures and videos!
This week has been our first week together as Crew Tucker and it has certainly been one to remember!
We have spent this week delving into our first expedition, ‘Coming to Doncaster; why then and why now?’ and our first case study which aims to answer the question, ‘Why did the Vikings come to Doncaster?’. Our Hook Week has involved lots of exciting activities: developing our artistic skills using clay to create dragon eyes and sketching dragons; becoming performers of dragon poetry; cooking using viking recipes and being detectives to investigate a mystery visitor who created havoc in the school hall and forest school!
Watch the video below to get a feel for yourselves for all the fun we have had this week.
Time and time again, the children have blown us all away with their positive attitudes, exemplary behaviour and excitement to learn new things; we can’t wait to watch them grow and develop further throughout the school year and will continue to share our learning with you on our blog.
Have a great weekend everyone!
We’ve enjoyed a really successful first week in LKS2 as we were hooked into our new Expedition and settled back into life really well. Enjoy the weekend and keep your eye out for our trip to Murton Park next week! 😆
It was great to see Crew LKS2 back and looking so happy on their return to school. We had a really exciting first day have really enjoyed being back in school and learning with our friends. The children also looked great in their new uniforms!
