Year 4 has continued their knowledge of variables today by starting to make a timetables quiz. Our session today was a guided session as it required lots of thinking power. We worked side by side to build the code, however, next week children will get an opportunity to work independently on building the code.
KS1 loved having the firefighters in yesterday, we learnt all about their truck and the jobs they do to keep us safe.
In Crew Ramsay, we have been getting to know Vlad The Flea. We had a story time, watched videos about The Great Fire of London, learned new words for ‘little’ and then did a whip-around protocol to share facts about Vlad. We are now so excited to get writing about Vlad in our Literacy topic!
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!
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.
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.
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!
