Diving into Google Classroom

Crew White have recently been using Google Classroom to help them become more organised, responsible and digitally confident. It gives them a simple way to keep track of tasks, access resources and show their growing independence.

This week, they have been researching sustainable materials and presenting the advantages and disadvantages of different materials.

Subitise

Subitising is a crucial skill children must master to be amazing mathematicians! Subitising involves looking at an amount and instantly knowing the numerical value for example; I can see 3 dots. In today’s game crew Frost has taken it in turns to role the dice from 1 to 3. When the dice lands on a number the children have to make their way across on the subitising cards that matches the number. To stretch and challenge we even added some cards with different colored dots! Well done crew Frost! You were so kind at taking turns and showing courage taking part in our new game!

Changes the Romans made to Doncaster

Year 3 have been investigating changes made to Doncaster by the Romans. We learnt that there was a Roman fort in Doncaster and there is even the remains that can still be seen today. We also learnt that the River played an important part in why the Romans chose to settle in Doncaster.

PE in Crew White

We enjoyed PE because we did disability sports/games. In one activity, we had to roll a ball with a bell inside to each other with a blind fold on. One of the things we most enjoyed where we was split into two teams; one team had a white ball / jack and rolled anywhere they wanted then they had a big orange or blue ball and had to roll it as close as they can to the jack. Who ever was the closest won!

Our Class Library!

Crew White are enjoying our new class library. There are lots of books thanks to our new ‘book swap’ scheme. We bring books in that we know will interest other classmates and share them on the book shelf. We have a mixture of non-fiction, fiction and First News. Football magazines are very popular right now!

This supports our target of reading more at home. If you want to find out more about the class library, come to Year 6.

The more you read, the more you know, the more you know, the more places you’ll go.

Having Fun in PE.

Crew McLoughlin have had fun in PE today, as they dived into a variety of inclusive and engaging activities. They have enjoyed the strategy and teamwork of New-age Curling, building communication and spatial awareness in Goalball and developing precision and control through Boccia.
