We are on a mission in to make our tricky words STICK! We are constantly exposed to these in the class environment but need to also spell them at home. Please test your child on these at home to make sure they STICK! Here we are as proud as can be with our lovely spellings.
Crew Ramsay have been developing our vocabulary by using thesauruses! We are eager to broaden our range of vocab by learning tier two words which better articulate our ideas. Here we are exploring the wonderful world of words!!
Crew Ramsay have been learning all about Podcasts! We have been recording our voices using audio software, storing it and retrieving it! We have loved developing our technical skills and cannot wait to record a podcast as our end product of this expedition. Here we are tinkering with GarageBand!
To launch our Diverse Doncaster Expedition, Crew Ramsay read the story, The Day The crayons Quit. We then used our crayons to enjoy making some pictures just like they do in the story and hung these proudly on our writing wall. We couldn’t believe it when the crayons quit the next day and left us a note! What a launch to a new writing unit!
Today we were very lucky to have a visit from volunteers Sandy and Trevor from the Children’s Air Ambulance. They shared lots of facts about how the air ambulance works and how their missions save the lives of children and babies who need urgent care. Did you know it costs £5500 each time the ambulance is launched!
Key Stage One were absolutely amazing in their Christmas Nativity ‘Wriggly Nativity’. Here we are shining like the stars we are!
Crew Ramsay loved going under the tables and cosying down in the pillows to enjoy some reading with Year 5. As we get more and more familiar, we are really beginning to bond with our buddies and grow as little people. Crew goes beyond the year groups at Carcroft as we are learning in Year Two!
Crew Ramsay would like to acknowledge the kindness and generosity of the donators of our advent calendars. We have loved counting down the days to Christmas so far. We have learned to take turns, recognise numerals and share life’s little joys with our friends… what a beautiful way to be a crew! Thank you!
In Crew Ramsay, we have enjoyed independent writing which culminated in peer critique time today. We read our work loud and proud and received critique from a peer. We have already edited our work so didn’t make any changes to our actual work but we did think about our feedback and pledged to consider it going forward. Check us out using our actions and signs for our critique protocol: I praise, I notice, I suggest, I wonder. What a compassionate, courageous morning!
In Year Two Maths, we have been revisiting our Shape learning from Year One. Here we are guessing the shapes with our eyes closed based on their physical properties. We loved getting practical with the concrete resources today!
