Today, LKS2 took part in an experience day, which was based on our book Running of the Roof of the World. In the book, it discusses how Curfew’s are in place for local residents. We had to return to our chairs in time, as the Curfew took place. If we did not, we would be taken away by the Wujing (Secret Police). The children discussed how this was unfair and feel ready to complete the next Plot Point of their writing. We can’t wait to read them! 🚓
This morning we set off walking down to Adwick train station to get the 9:27 train into Doncaster. This was such a great experience as most of us hadn’t been on a train before. We arrived at the station and then walked through town to get to the Danum Library, museum and art gallery 🖼📚
We began our learning with a workshop which was focused all around our expedition guiding question 🚂 After lunch, we explored the museum and learnt lots about Doncaster.
On our walk back to the train station we visited one of last years final product When is it right to make a stand for what we believe in? Which is displayed in Frenchgate 🖼 This made us beam with pride especially when people were admiring it.
Crew Gerrard and Crew Flaherty have been learning about the journey of a refugee. We watched some spectacular drone footage and jotted down several countries that refugees fleeing Afghanistan can pass through, including the different types of transport taken. We were shocked to say the least! We then practiced using coordinates to plot a journey of a refugee in our next lesson! Check out our images from today below: 🇦🇫
Our learn its in magic maths this week are learning directions and positions.
What a great lesson, fully of collaborative learning from Crew Gerrard. Some of our more confident mathematicians wanted to help those who were less confident with multiplying in column method. It was great to see how much confidence grew, as we all worked brilliantly together, to get smarter. Well done Crew Gerrard! 😆
LKS2 produced some really beautiful work, as they created storyboards for their next piece of writing. It was great to see their imagination and what fantastic vocabulary they could use to help them with their future writing lessons.
We’d also like to say a massive well done and praise the pride the children have put into their work this week, especially in writing! 😃
Wow! I am so impressed with how well Carcroft netball team have played this afternoon. Once we got the hang of it we were well away with scoring.
Special shout out to Heidi! I love how well you know the rules and were telling other players what they can and cannot do. Excellent defending!
Overall we came 4/6, well done to all players!
The netball team are ready!
Today in LKS2, we have been completing our Experience Day. Together, we worked in small groups to provide key information about the first three chapters of our new book ‘Running on the Roof of the World’. The children were read to and then shared summaries of their chapter, which will help us with our writing over the next few weeks! Check out the photos below!
This week we have been showing great perseverance by solving long division with the coin method. Some children even coached to help everyone in Crew to get smart! Teamwork makes the dream work🤩
