Immersed In Our Expeditionary Learning
Colour run 2025
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!
Month’s of the year
Crew Haddock have being practicing the months of the year and they did amazing. This is one of our life skills
VR Experience
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!
Hook Week in Crew Barber
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!
Rollercoaster Crew Challenge
Hooking into our new expedition
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.
What does Crew mean to you?
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!
Hook Week – We Are Artists!
To continue Hook Week, we focused on the artist Frank Bowling and took part in a gallery walk in which we looked at examples of his work to critique. Following this, we began looking at his medium of choice – oil pastels – and investigated how we can use these with different techniques to produce different effects.
Team Building Crew
Crew Rankin have had their team working skills put to the test with two separate challenges.
- Building the sturdiest bridge out of lego.
- Building the tallest tower out of spaghetti and marshmallows.
They had to work in teams of 4 to see who would be most successful in building a bridge that was sturdy enough to hold a pile of school books and a tower that would stand freely and still be tall. It definitely tested their perseverance but it was lovely to see how well they communicated with each other and took turns to ensure everyone had a job role or contribution to the overall product.
