After a very windy week, Y2 took to the school grounds to clear up all the mess that the wind had blown in. They took great pride in ensuring it was spotless and ready for the week ahead.

Co ordinating conjunctions
A kahoot quiz is always a great and fun way to practice some of the skills we are learning. This afternoon we had a quiz to help us select appropriate coordinating conjunctions to complete sentences.
Book Talk
Today we finished our second book talk lesson. We spent some time enjoying we understood the vocabulary and reminded ourselves that if something starts with a capital letter it’s the name of a place or person. We enjoyed a game of round table where the children had to take turns finding nouns in the text then we did a whip around sharing our answers.
We worked together to do a sequencing activity to order events in the text.
While reading the text, we had some questions to allow us the opportunity to give us reason for reading.
Expedition
In Crew Haddock we worked together to sort out the past and present pictures in Doncaster.
Green Geographers 🌍
This week, we have been learning about different geography topics, including the weather and seasons. We started by looking at the seasons and which weather we can find in each one. Then we looked at different animal habitats and discussed which ones live in a hot climate or cold climate🥶

Beautiful Work This Week
XP Festival of Learning 2024
The Staff Day in January saw the launch of our proposed teaching and learning model as part of our Festival of Learning. The event took place at XP Doncaster and was attended by staff from across all schools in the Trust. All staff had the opportunity to explore the model in more depth as well as attending other workshops on different parts of the model.
This is part of the Trust’s commitment to ensure that we expose more students to more impactful teaching more of the time.

Exploring Capacity
Crew MW began exploring capacity this week in maths. We looked at the vocabulary, full, empty, half full, nearly full and nearly empty and then showed what each of these words looked like with our cups and the water. We then had to find a container that would hold more and less water than our cup would. We loved exploring how much water all of the different containers could hold, and we found out that containers with holes in cannot hold water, as it all leaks out!
Crew MW’s library visit!
This week, we chose to read ‘Slug needs a hug!’ when we visited the library. We loved talking about why slug should like the way he looks and that he shouldn’t change to look like someone else, because it would be very boring if we all looked the same!
