We Are Artists!

Crew Ramsay have been creating Dennis Creffield inspired, mixed media artwork to showcase our Great Fire Of London learning! We started with charcoal and layered this with tissue paper. We have been learning about colour and mood and used this in our art project. Look how proud we are of our final pieces!

Being Artists

We have loved being artists just like Dennis Creffield, we have been using charcoal to start creating our artwork. We firstly practiced by drawing the school using lines and shapes.

We then applied this to our final artwork, creating mood from the tissue paper for the fire and drawing 19th century houses with charcoal.

Creation – How do Christians and Jews believe the world was created?

In RE, year 1 have been learning about how the world began. Last week, we investigated things around the world to help us understand that lots of things occur naturally on the Earth such as trees, sunsets, mountains and animals. This week, we have learned about what Christians believe and their belief is that God created the world. We watched a video that explained how God created the world in 7 days and created an anchor chart.

Fieldwork to Murton Park

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.

Our very first week.

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!

Celebrating the 4th of July – American Style!

Today, we joined in the spirit of the American 4th of July celebrations with a special themed lunch that gave everyone a true taste of the USA! The menu featured classic American favourites such as hot dogs, burgers, doughnuts, and jelly, while our usual fruit option was still available for those wanting something lighter.

The kitchen staff went above and beyond, transforming the dining area with fantastic American-themed decorations that brought the celebration to life. A huge thank you to them for their incredible creativity and effort!

Year 1s Human Clock

Today Crew Marsh have been learning how to tell the time, in particular o’clock and half past. They worked extremely hard using their own clocks to answer the questions in lesson and then we decided to challenge ourselves to create the time shown on a clock by using our bodies to represent the clock, the hour hand and the minute hand. Time really does fly when you’re having fun!
