On the final day of Hook Week be became planet protectors!
Inspired by a video of Mr Beast cleaning up a beach in America we decided that we should clean up our school environment to make sure it is safe for ourselves and any animals who live nearby.
Back in class we also planted some sunflowers seeds!
Finally we revealed our Summer Term Expedition title and guiding question
Hook week has been a blast in Crew Ramsay! We made predictions about our new expedition throughout the week before the big reveal on Friday. We went on a woodland animal hunt, had a peaceful protest to protect endangered local wildlife, engaged with our key text ‘The Hungry Hedgehog’ and watched documentaries about extinct animals. What a fun week we have had!
This week, during Hook Week in Crew White, we have stepped back in time to learn about the ancient Egyptian ritual of mummification. Of course, we were unable to get our hands on recently deceased pharaohs so we had to make do with all the tomatoes available at the local supermarket.
We learnt about the embalming process and preparing the ‘body’ for the afterlife. We cut off the top of the tomato, scooped out its insides and covered it with salt. We will observe the tomatoes over the next few weeks and see what happens.
A selection of beautiful work and provision from Crew McGlone this week, including name writing, sentence writing, expedition and independent learning in provision.
UKS2 were very proud to present their learning to their adults last week. After giving an introduction explaining all about our expedition titled: Justice through time, the children explained what we had done during our case studies to answer our guiding question: Does the punishment always fit the crime?
From showcasing their writing to demonstrating their growing historical knowledge, pupils have taken great pride in sharing what they have achieved.
We were all super proud of UKS2, we cannot wait to see and share our final product!
We learned about logos, designed one and painted it before sending them off to Comms to be made into a Podcast Logo. The winning entry was Alyssa with her beautiful, symmetric Butterfly! Her pointillism technique was amazing just like everyone else’s logos in Crew Ramsay. Here is our beautiful work…
We loved presenting our learning to families and friends yesterday and the children took such pride in their product. We hope our parents and carers were just as proud and loved listening to our podcast. We are proud to say we now have our own Carcroft Spotify channel for future expeditions across school!
