The Human Life Cycle
Today, Crew McLoughlin dove into the fascinating world of biology by creating our own visual life cycles. The students mapped out the distinct stages of growth and transformation, from prenatal to late adulthood.
Straw houses
In writing today they made their own straw houses from The Three Little Pigs. They used clay, straw, and cardboard as the base. They had to use lots of different skills.

Writing
This term we are looking at The Three Little Pigs. They worked together to retell the story.
Exploring atlases and globes
This morning in year 4, we have explored how to use globes and atlases in our expedition lesson. We learnt how to look for different continents using the contents page of an atlas, how to use the index to find more specific information such as countries, towns and cities, and how to find continents and countries on a globe. We then compared the differences between globes and atlases, and found that atlases are easier to use as they give you more support in finding specific information.

Human Sentences in Crew White
This morning, to help us improve our composition, we created a human sentence using a range of Year 6 grammar, punctuation and vocabulary. Starting with our subject, verb and object, we added adjectives, adverbs and parentheses to our sentence, ensuring correct punctuation was used.
In case you were wondering, the sentence read…The amazing city of Doncaster, which is full of friendly, kind-hearted people) welcomes everyone warmly and has many interesting landmarks.
Animals Have Personalities!
Today we watched a demo sent especially to us from Nick Mackman, a real life Artist. She taught us that animals have personalities and to be a good artist, we have to look for these before we try to capture their likeness. We took some time looking at photos of animals to see what emotions and characteristics we could see before deciding if we agree with Nick Mackman… we did! We then sketched An animal sculpture and tried to capture their personalities through their expression and posture. Here we are being artists just like Nick Mackman.
Concrete Fun!
For our new unit about Fractions, Year 2 have enjoyed exploring the concept of wholes and parts by chopping fruit, deconstructing everyday objects and finally partitioning counters. We represented the whole and its parts by drawing pictures of a part, part whole model with the amounts!
