Over the last two days we have been looking at habitats – the 4 different habitats we have looked at are coastal, woodlands, urban, pond. We got given an animal and we had to stick them to the correct habitat.
We are scientists..

Presentation of Learning – Autumn expedition
We showcased our beautiful work and everything that we had achieved to our family and friends in a presentation of learning. On display were our repurposed frames, which had our art work and monologues alongside. We read our emotive monologues out loud and protested to save our planet. Hopefully, we made the audience reflect on how they could help our planet survive.
Citizenship Crew 🏠🏡
This week in Citizenship Crew we have explored how to keep safe in the home. We used our prior knowledge to unpick what dangers there are in the home and how we can work together to overcome these. We identified that mostly, our homes are safe places. However, there are some objects that can be dangerous and can cause injuries around the home. We need to be aware of the dangers and how to keep ourselves safe.
The children were very articulate and identified many hazards, including how to keep safe in the kitchen – not cooking without an adult, never touching electrical items or drinking something we maybe unsure of. We had some fantastic collaboration and group discussions.
What a blustery day 🌬️
The wind didn’t stop us having a great time at Scottie’s, it was very difficult to work against the wind but we absolutely smashed it showing resilience and determination to succeed 💪
Celebrating 100% attendance
We had a lovely breakfast this morning, celebrating all those children that achieved 100% attendance for the Autumn term. This is a fantastic achievement, we hope to see even more children achieving this in the spring term.
Geographical Zones 🌎🗺
This afternoon, we continued our expeditionary learning by looking how the earth is split into 7 geographical zones. We found out the 7 zones are: Equator, North Pole, South Pole, Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn, Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere. With our new found knowledge, we labelled a map with the zones.
Writing in MI
Working hard on our diary entries 🙂
Student Led Conference ✅
We are so proud of the children who took part in their SLC’s last night. The children showed courage presenting to their families and spoke with pride about their learning over the last term. I was so proud of you all and I can’t wait to hear the children tomorrow share their learning journey.
Yorkshire Water Lego workshop 🧱
Last week, year 5 took part in a fantastic workshop which consolidated their learning on their autumn expedition and also their expedition around the water cycle last year. The children then worked in groups to create a Lego bot which they then programmed using a computer so it would move on its own to deliver much needed water supplies. The children really enjoyed this but it was also great to see them all grappling and working collaboratively.
Building Our Geography Knowlege 🌍
Today, Crew Hamill continued with their expedition by looking at Doncaster and other cities around the United Kingdom, learning more about their human and physical characteristics. We focused on how some of these aspects have changed over time, looking at images of Doncaster and organising them into “old” and “new”. It was so interesting to see how our city has changed over time! Do you recognise some of the older buildings?
