Today in expedition we learnt about Boudicca and how she fought against the Roman invasion. The children had to decide if they thought she was a hero or trouble maker. This led to a healthy debate as each child shared their opinions.
In year 3, we have been looking at how data travels. Often the data is too big and we’re unable to send it in one go. This is when it’s broken down into packets which are smaller and more managable. To help the children understand this, we first of all used cubes to build a tower but. E cause it was too big, they had to break it down into individual cubes. Then they used a 3×3 grid and drew a picture. Children cut up their image and gave it to another person to piece back together. This allows children to see that bigger files are broken down and reassembled when they get to their destination.
I was so proud of my maths group today, they showed determination to complete their own work independently using the concrete resources available. Well done everyone!
Today in Crew Robson we tried to text text marking for the first time. We talked through what all the symbols mean and then unpicked an example before having a go independently.
Year 3 have been learning about how a website works and how we receive information on our computers. They learned that when we type in a website, we send a request to a server that sends the information back to our computer. In some cases, the server may need to request the information from the cloud which stores data before it’s sent back to the computer. Children then worked independently to demonstrate their understanding by drawing a diagram of how information is sent.
Year 3 absolutely loved playing our very own historical version of the classic game Guess Who?
The children asked insightful questions to try and guess who their partner had chosen. It was a lovely activity that sparked great discussions about people who have lived throughout history.
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!
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.
Crew Robson have loved getting creative this week as we begin to reveal our new Autumn term expedition.
On Tuesday we looked at various artefacts which were clues about the time period we will be learning about. After that we looked closely at some coins from the past before re-creating our own out of clay. Finally we took our time to create some patterned mosaics using colourful paper.
