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.

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.
Ready for F2.
During the Summer term, we place a strong focus on supporting our nursery children to develop their independence and resilience as they prepare for their transition into Reception. These are key aspects of the Early Years Foundation Stage, particularly within Personal, Social and Emotional Development and Physical Development.
Throughout the year, we have been working hard to strengthen the children’s fine motor skills, and this term we have introduced a focused activity known as “apron entry.” During this activity, each child is given their own clipboard and a shortened pencil, which helps to support correct grip and control.
The children are encouraged to draw an object, letter or shape from the board, with a particular focus in this session on creating circles of their own chosen size and quantity. This open-ended approach allows the children to explore their creativity while also developing important early writing skills.
It was fantastic to see the children’s growing ability to concentrate, as well as their confidence in using an effective pencil grip and forming recognisable shapes. These small but significant steps are helping to build the foundations for future writing.
Well done, Crew Frost—keep up the great work!

Crew White – Guest blog posts by Tiarna, Greatness, Heartley and Frankie
This week I have been working on my non- chronological report. I have produced 2 pages full of writing including the Carcroft School logo and 4 paragraphs in different lengths. Firstly, I researched my subject. Secondly, I wrote. Thirdly, I edited my work improving and ensuring a perfect piece. Lastly, I published my work on to 2 different pieces of paper. Written by Tiarna.
I am proud of the work I have created; it’s a non chronological report I’ve been working on for the past week. I hope you like it. It’s about the Solar System. Written by Greatness.
This week in Crew White we’ve been working on non-chronological reports based on our favourite things:
- Dogs
- Carcroft School
- Anime
My non-chronological report is all about dogs and how they help people in different ways, sometimes without us even realising! Written by Frankie.
In Writing, we have been creating a non-chronological poster about things we like. I wrote about Football (my title was Football The Beautiful Game). This was the process of writing the non-chronological report:
- First, we had to practise writing sentences; some skills we learnt were compound sentences, complex sentences, colon to introduce a list, semi colons and cohesive devices;
- Then, we had to write an introduction about the topic we were writing about;
- Also, we had to write 2 main paragraphs so I did a history paragraph about football and then a modern paragraph about football;
- After we edited it all, we had to write the paragraphs onto the poster and mine had footballs as the border.
Here is an example of the finished product.
My non-chronological report by Val in Crew White
This week, I have been writing a non-chronological report about dogs. First, I researched my subject and wrote it in my book, then I checked and edited my work. After that, I designed where I would do my writing on a practice sheet then published it; here is my final piece of writing.
Non-chron turtles! By Ruby
In Crew White, we have chosen a subject that we are interested in. We have written and published it in order to inform you about our interests! We have enjoyed writing about it all and we hope you learn something when we come to share it! Personally, I have chosen turtles since they are a big interest of mine and I hope to inform you about our impact on their world!
Sentence games in Crew White
This week, we have been continuing to refine our use of relative clauses and accurate punctuation of parenthesis. We split our main clause, found the correct place to add our relative clause and then used correct punctuation. Then, we applied this to our previous writing, editing and improving.
