Hook Week

We had a wonderful hook week here in 3T.

The children took part in a range of activities which were so much fun! These included;

Discovery dig on the school field 

Making Roman numerals

Assembling a Roman soldier

Making and decorating shields 

Reading ‘The Captive Celt’

Archaeological dig 

Dressing up as Romans or Celts 

Watching Horrible Histories The Movie  

Roman food tasting

It has been wonderful to hear so many of our parents and carers telling us how engaged the children are, wanting to find things out at home and telling them what happened during the day. Keep it up 3T! I hope you enjoy our hook week pictures!

 

Roman Day

What a fun day we had on Friday, dressing up as Romans! We had some Roman soldiers ready for battle and some Roman Gods and Goddesses all looking fantastic.

The children also had the opportunity to try some Roman food, which included olives. I think Ashton’s face says it all about how everyone felt tasting olives!

Dinosaur Hook Week in KS1

Things turned very Jurassic Park last week… or shall we say “Ploverassic Park!”

All children in Key Stage 1 and teachers (some parents too) were truly captivated by the immersive activities which took place last week.

We hope you enjoy seeing what fantastic things your children got up to, to hook them into their learning expedition about dinosaurs. The KS1 guiding question is ‘Where did all the dinosaurs go?’

Enjoy a well earned rest this weekend and we look forward to getting our ‘claws’ into our learning expedition next week!

Painting routine

Today we practiced painting skills. We have learnt to use the painting routine – water, sponge, paint, mix.

A shout out goes to Marnie. She spent a long time mixing the correct colours. She decided to draw the face on as she said the pen could make smaller lines. Well done Marnie.

Working together

As part of our learning we have been thinking about how we can can combine different objects in our model making. Oscar and Bobby worked together today to build a bridge. When it collapsed they persevered and tried other ways to stop it collapsing.

When the model was finished they allowed other children to use cars on their bridge and involved them in their play.

Well done Oscar and Bobby – fantastic sharing of ideas and creativity!

Getting to know our crew

F2S have had a great week learning more about each other and what it means to be part of the F2S crew. We have been learning about who is in our school community and what everybody does. The children have enjoyed meeting Mrs Ogle, Mr Taylor, our cook Adele and the ladies in the office. Next week we’ll be finding out about our wider community. It would be great if you could take a walk to see what buildings you can see around Intake.

Y2C

Congratulations to Luca for receiving the Yellow T Shirt this week.  He has been such a fabulous role model, he is a young man who always tries hard and is so kind, respectful and polite to others.  Luca you are a superstar.

 

It was a tough choice though as I have a class of amazing children,

Mrs Coward

Yellow t-shirt winner 5K

I’ve had some brilliant work submitted online so I would like to give a shout out to Darcie, Dalton, Ashton and Mia for this. They have done some great research for me telling me where Doncaster was bombed and who in their family served in WW2.

 

The yellow t shirt winner for 5K is William D – great research, great participation and commitment to his learning.

Dinosaur skeletons in Y1

Children in Y1M today have continued to explore, engage and create some awesome dinosaur learning. From dinosaur silhouettes and arts and crafts, to baking dinosaur biscuits- nom nom (Mr Meade definitely won’t be starring on Bake Off)!

Tomorrow we will reveal our guiding question for our first expedition in Year 1 🙂
