KS2 have had an amazing day at Murton Park immersing themselves into life as Romans. We have made oil lamps, learnt Latin, joined the Roman Army and fought the Celts.
The children conducted themselves so well and we are extremely proud of them all.
Hopefully everything we have learned today we can build on over the course of our expedition as we learn more about the Romans and why they decided to come to Doncaster.
The children have spent a lovely first week in crew Frost settling in and exploring their environment. They have loved the new construction area and learning all about our story of the week- Owl’s babies!
We were so excited that every child was able to join in the colour run so we got to enjoy the experience as a full crew with the rest of school. Some of us were a little bit nervous but in true style of crew, the children supported and encouraged each other and had the best time! What a fantastic way to end our week!
Crew Haddock have being practicing the months of the year and they did amazing. This is one of our life skills
To bring Hook Week to a close, before revealing our guiding question, UKS2 took part in a Virtual Reality experience that immersed them into the rainforest. They got to look at each layer of the rainforest as if walking around it and come face to face with some of the animals that live there including sloths, tarantulas, capuchin monkeys and jaguars. Throughout this experience, the guide was sharing his wide range of knowledge with the children which they were fully engaged with listening to. What a fantastic experience!
The first guiding question the children are going to investigate is “Not all hero’s wear capes. How can I be a hero in my local community?” The first hero which we’re looking at is a Fire Fighter. Crew Barber have started their first week in year 1 by getting creative in making their own Tudor style houses to replicate the buildings which caught alight in the Great Fire of London, we then set our houses on fire so we could see how quick the fire spread. After watching fire safety talks the children then chose to dress up and engage in role play during their outdoor breaktime, acting out scenarios and having a great time!
Crew Robson have loved getting creative this week as we begin to reveal our new Autumn term expedition.
On Tuesday we looked at various artefacts which were clues about the time period we will be learning about. After that we looked closely at some coins from the past before re-creating our own out of clay. Finally we took our time to create some patterned mosaics using colourful paper.
This week in Crew Robson we have spent our mornings answering the guiding question “What does Crew mean to you?”
We spent a lot of time reflecting on where we are now and where we want to be by the time we are in Year 6. To capture this we made a time capsule. Everyone filled in their Crew identity, we attached a piece of string to see how much we grow and finally added a picture of us.
Finally we sealed the box which will be reopened in July 2029, just before we leave Carcroft!
