Exploring atlases and globes
This morning in year 4, we have explored how to use globes and atlases in our expedition lesson. We learnt how to look for different continents using the contents page of an atlas, how to use the index to find more specific information such as countries, towns and cities, and how to find continents and countries on a globe. We then compared the differences between globes and atlases, and found that atlases are easier to use as they give you more support in finding specific information.

Planting our first seeds!
During the summer term, the children began by planting their first batch of plants, learning specifically about what happens when we plant broad beans and how to care for them as they grow. They listened carefully to instructions and worked thoughtfully throughout the activity. The session also linked to maths, as the children counted how many plant pots they used and measured out scoops of compost for each one. After planting, they watered the pots, counting how many squirts each plant received. This hands-on experience not only introduced them to basic gardening skills but also supported their understanding of counting and following instructions. We look forward to planting more, including edible plants, as the term continues.
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.
Making Animal Crowns with our Families!
Today our Crew Ramsay parents came into school to make animals crowns with us! We are going to wear these in an animal parade to raise awareness of endangered animals! Here we are enjoying our afternoon of family learning.
Animals Have Personalities!
Today we watched a demo sent especially to us from Nick Mackman, a real life Artist. She taught us that animals have personalities and to be a good artist, we have to look for these before we try to capture their likeness. We took some time looking at photos of animals to see what emotions and characteristics we could see before deciding if we agree with Nick Mackman… we did! We then sketched An animal sculpture and tried to capture their personalities through their expression and posture. Here we are being artists just like Nick Mackman.
