Last week, we baked some buns as part of our DT case study. We had to collect the ingredients we needed before weighing everything out. We worked in small groups ensuring that everyone was able to participate. This allowed us to learn the skills that we’ll need for the final product.
To finish our story we enjoyed a picnic watching the chapatti moon, just like in the story. We have loved writing this story because it has had so much action in. Finally, Mrs Kapoor got her chapatti!
What a lovely day we’ve had in Crew Godley, we’ve shown off our talents in arithmetic and expedition followed by lots of Crew building challenges. We’ve developed our resilience and collaboration skills whilst competing with each other to make a variety of items including a boat that had to float and a turtle with a shell. It was all great fun!
We also created our own crew signs to create a montage – we’ll continue with these into the new year.
Today we have started our third case study, Hinduism. We have explored the key facts, did you know that hinduism is the worlds oldest religion? Most Hindu’s live in India, in Doncaster there are approximately 1,294 Hindu’s. We discovered that Hinduism is third largest religion worldwide, after Christianity and Islam. To finish off our first lesson today we carried out a Kahoot quiz to assess our understanding, needless to say, Leo had remembered lots of key facts!

Today we finished plot point 3 of our persuasive letter! We only have our conclusion left to write then we can send our letters to Mrs Atherton 🙂
Our entry ticket allowed us to think back to our expeditionary learning and what Egyptians did for fun. We then used a partner read, echo read and an independent read to read the next part of the text. We unpicked the vocabulary as we read. Our reasons to read consolidated our understanding of the text and allowed some of our own opinions to be voiced. Our exit ticket allowed us to experiment with a range of the games and evaluate which ones we liked the best and why. We then worked on the speed of our reading, Mrs McClare timed us and we voiced how many words we had read in a minute.
Today we discussed the importance of good hygiene which linked to the talk we had last week with the school nurse. We watched a video clip then took part in a class quiz.
Lots of teamwork and problem solving in nursery this week. The children were working together to build a run for the balls to travel down to get into the bucket at the bottom.
Using water to create paintings around the outdoor area has also been rather popular this week and we can’t wait to do more of this next week!
Pink team had an amazing sports day on Thursday, despite the incredibly windy conditions! A fantastic team with lots of teamwork and support on display – well done Team Pink!
