Creating Roman Coins

As part of our hook into our new expedition, the children had the opportunity to design and create their own Roman coins out of clay. They carefully considered the symbols and designs used by the Romans and thought about what might be important to feature on their own coins. 

Carcroft Crew Graffiti Project

Today we worked together as a whole school crew to design and create our very own graffiti wall! With the support of expert graffiti artists, we learned new skills and used our creativity to celebrate everything that makes Crew special. From sharing ideas and sketching designs, to choosing colours and spraying the final masterpiece, we collaborated as one team to bring our vision to life. Our graffiti wall now stands as a bold reminder that when we work together, we can achieve something amazing!

Fieldwork to Murton Park

KS2 have had an amazing day at Murton Park immersing themselves into life as Romans. We have made oil lamps, learnt Latin, joined the Roman Army and fought the Celts.

The children conducted themselves so well and we are extremely proud of them all.

Hopefully everything we have learned today we can build on over the course of our expedition as we learn more about the Romans and why they decided to come to Doncaster.

What do our HoWLs look like in crew?

This week, in crew, we have have been busy exploring our HoWLs (Habits of Work and Learning). Together, we thought carefully about different scenarios and discussed whether they showed Working HardGetting Smart or Being Kind. It was fantastic to see the children reflecting on their choices, sharing ideas with one another, and recognising how our HoWLs help us to grow not just as learners, but as kind and responsible members of our Crew.
