Crew Ramsay have been developing our vocabulary by using thesauruses! We are eager to broaden our range of vocab by learning tier two words which better articulate our ideas. Here we are exploring the wonderful world of words!!
Crew Ramsay have been learning all about Podcasts! We have been recording our voices using audio software, storing it and retrieving it! We have loved developing our technical skills and cannot wait to record a podcast as our end product of this expedition. Here we are tinkering with GarageBand!
To launch our Diverse Doncaster Expedition, Crew Ramsay read the story, The Day The crayons Quit. We then used our crayons to enjoy making some pictures just like they do in the story and hung these proudly on our writing wall. We couldn’t believe it when the crayons quit the next day and left us a note! What a launch to a new writing unit!
Today in life skill they made their own fruit salad. Fruit is one of are 5 a day that are body needs. They used their cutting skills to slice the fruit and then put it all into a bowl.
Today in p.e they played a game of dodge ball but instead of being out if the ball touched you , they have to do 5 star jumps..
Today we began to look at Maya artwork in preparation for creating our own sculptures.
We conducted a gallery walk to explore Maya artwork.
Then we looked at some Maya glyphs and chose our favourite to incorporate into our own artwork.
We copied them carefully ready for some peer critique next lesson.
Crew Godley’s investigation took an unexpected turn when a mysterious blue substance filled the room! The police came to make sure everyone was safe and a scientist has taken away the mysterious substance.
Not ones to stay silent, we’ve decided to write to the Doncaster Free Press to share our concerns about this ever-growing mystery. Today we have started to plan out our own newspaper reports, Firstly, we carefully unpicked an example report and discovered that similar strange events have been happening across the whole country. As we analysed the newspaper report, we looked at lots of important features, including headlines, quotes, the what, when and where. Using these features, we are now ready to plan and write our own reports about the mysterious events at Crew Godley.
We kick started our first day back after a long weekend with the importance of exercise for our brains. The miserable weather did not stop us from having a smile on our face this morning. Some of us enjoyed it that much we did it at wet break!
In Crew Godley, we are learning how to recognise our own feelings in the moment and understand how others might be feeling too. In our Crew session today, we explored different everyday scenarios and decided which ones made us feel happiest and which made us feel least happy. We challenged ourselves to explain why we felt this way.
By sharing our reasons, we discovered that everyone can feel differently about the same situation and that all feelings are important, building empathy.
