In expedition this afternoon, children explored different places and things in Doncaster and discussed whether this was in the past or the present. We discussed whether these features were human or physical features. We also discussed the population of Doncaster and what impact this has.
Today in expedition, we built bridges for our billy goats to cross the river. We started by looking at some bridges that other children had made and looking at the equipment that they had used to create them. Then we worked with a partner to decide what equipment we would use to create our own bridges. We looked at which resources would make strong bridges and why they would be strong, before getting to work and building with our partners! Have a look at our creations…
After all the conkers fell on our head yesterday, today we opened our eyes to see that it was Carla (a bird) wrapped up in a washing line!! Carla was hungry, so we had to help her. We had a challenged to try and pinch a sandwich using cocktail sticks from Percy the Park Keeper. We used cocktail sticks to represent our hedgehog spikes. We also practised our rolling skills to see if we could stick the sandwich to our back.
Today in expedition, we created trolls to use when re-telling the story, ‘The Three Billy Goats Gruff’. We followed the steps to create our puppets and we will be using them to re-tell the story on Thursday.
Today we built on yesterdays learning in our geography lesson, we compared three places in the UK – we looked at Beeley (village), Skegness (town) and London (city). We compared the different human and physical features of each.
We found out that if you live in a city or town you have more human features.
Crew Haddock had a fantastic time in Scotty’s today and Declan was the hero of the week for the memory game. Well done Crew. Super proud of you all.
We are improving every week 🙂
In Crew Haddock,we have been writing about our experience day.
This week, Crew Hamill have noticed that they have been a little bit forgetful in bringing their book bags to school. They have worked really hard to improve their reading skills so we are now driving to ensure we remember to bring our book bags to school, with our home reading logged by our adults, every day! We have worked together to create this chart that helps us to see who has remembered their book bag and who has left it at home. We’re hoping to see everyone’s book name on the right chart!
This afternoon we spent time learning about a compass and the different directions. We firstly looked at the cardinal directions: North, East, South and West.
Then we looked at the intermediate directions which are North East, south east, south west and north west.
Once we knew the directions, we played a game where we had to follow the directions and see where we ended up.
