Recycling Champions ♻️ 🚮

18th January 2024Laura Hamill

Yesterday, Crew Hamill were extremely lucky to be able to take part in a recycling workshop that was delivered by Doncaster Council! We became recycling champions for our families by learning about all the different materials that can be recycled as well as the four bins we have in Doncaster and their uses! Even our adults got a bit confused when we played a game to guess which bin each of the rubbish materials should go in! We did learn 2 fantastic tips to help with this:

  1. The ONLY plastic we recycle in Doncaster is PLASTIC BOTTLES. Did you know all other plastic should go in your black bin?
  2. When thinking about cardboard, it only goes in your blue bin if it is NOT GREASY!

Crew Thompson are recycling experts!

Yesterday, we had visitors from the recycling centre in Doncaster who came to explain what recycling is and the process it goes through. We were amazed to see all the different stages the litter goes through to be recycled. We had a game of “where do we chuck our litter”. The children had to stand by the bin they thought that piece of litter goes in. Charlie smashed it and was our recycling expert!

We are Scientists..🥼

Today we have had a look at what humans and animals need to survive.

We learnt that humans need – air, food, water, shelter, space and sleep.

We learnt that animals need – air, food, water and shelter.

We then organised wants and needs and learnt that we want things like game consoles, phones and toys but we need water and food.

Story telling in Crew MW

To finish off our week of ‘The Three Billy Goats Gruff’, Crew MW invited their siblings into their classroom to tell them the story that we’d been learning. We used our bridges, trolls and other props to tell the story, and repeated familiar phrases like, ‘Who’s that trip trapping over my bridge?!’ to show what each character said. We had so much fun with our brothers and sisters!

We are Geographers 🌎

Today in our expeditionary work we explored the UK and the physical and human features of a village, town and city. The children compared the geographical features and explained how and why these differed. This led to some beautiful discussions around the children’s experiences – especially those children that had visited London. The difference between Doncaster and London city, particularly the difference in population and the transport.
Aubree and Lily-Rose produced some beautiful work which we were so proud of, carefully explains the differences between human and physical features. They were defining working hard, to get smart!

Counting to a hundred 🧮

This week, Crew Godley have started their new unit in maths, place value to 100. The children showed they were able to apply what they already knew about the number system to complete some tricky number lines. We had to think carefully if the numbers were increasing or decreasing in size ⬇️⬆️
