It’s been a busy first week back after half term and two weeks of rest. We’ve been getting stuck into our new writing, continued to work on our reading fluency and been Historians as our research of the Vikings came to an end. We then began thinking about refugees, as we have an exciting visitor coming in on Monday, to discuss his experience as part of the Conversation Club.
Have a fantastic and safe weekend, Crew LKS2 – enjoy the fireworks! 😆
What a great first week back we’ve had and our first as Crew Gerrard. We’ve had a great week and have enjoyed talking about Halloween and ended with Bonfire Night, discussing how to be safe! 
🧛♂️🧙♀️🧟
We have made a start on our newspaper articles this week about the incidents that are happening in Afghanistan currently, regarding the Taliban and understanding how this is effecting people who live there. We have also recapped our Maths learning for addition and subtraction and made sure that we can complete the column method for both securely. Many of use were able to achieve beyond our Minimum Expectation, to reach reasoning and problem solving. This is really great to see, as it has put a smile on our Crew Leaders’ faces! 😃
Our HoWLs this week have not been as secure as previous weeks, we have at times found it hard to make sure that we are listening and stopping straight away. I know as a crew this is something we can improve on next week as we have spoken about it a lot in our crew sessions. We know that this will change next week, as we have been getting back into our routine!
Have a fantastic weekend, enjoy Bonfire night and stay safe! 😆
PE days are now Monday and Friday. Please ensure children are coming in kits on those days. Thank you.
What a busy first week back, which has started with Halloween and ended with Bonfire Night 🎆🎇

We have also recapped our math learning for addition and subtraction and made sure that we can complete the column method for both securely. Because we have worked so hard in maths this week lots of us have been able to access reasoning and problem solving questions, which is great!

Take a look at the fantastic Diwali learning we have been getting up to this week. The children have worked so hard to get smart. Well done everyone.
We have an exciting opportunity for 9 children from Year 5/6 to take part in Campsmount’s netball tournament. This event will be held on Wednesday 24th November in the afternoon. Letters will be handed out tomorrow. Any one interested will be asked to attend extra training sessions which will be outlined on the letter. If your son/daughter is interested in attending this tournament please can you make them aware that I will be coming around with letters in the morning.
Thank you Miss Marsh 🙂
This morning, all children across school who have achieved an ‘Awesome’ or ‘Great’ average in their HOWLs this half-term joined to together in the hall to celebrate their success and receive a special celebratory postcard.
It was great to see all these children together – you will see just how many there were in the photo below – to congratulate them on how determined they have been to Work Hard, Get Smart and Be Kind.
Our HOWLs help us to become the very best versions of ourselves and are so important, so it is great to see so many children achieving an ‘awesome’ or ‘great’ HOWL average. I can’t wait to see how many children we are able to celebrate with for achieving the same next half-term.
Wow, what a busy last week getting to know Crew Tucker, before we become Crew Gerrard!
Our main learning this week was our experience day around Afghanistan. We wanted the children to experience what a typical day could be like in Afghanistan, we researched where Afghanistan is located, the capital city and how to say hello in Pashto and Dari. This experience day is in preparation for us to answer the second half of our guiding question: Coming to Doncaster: Why then? and why now? As after half term children will be looking at why people move to Doncaster and seek refuge.
Watch out for our experience day video and the recipe for Afghanistan biscuits.
Have an amazing half term – rest up well, get lots of sleep and have lots of fun!
I really can’t wait to be your teacher when we return and I know that you will all miss Mr Tucker. We’ll have to make sure that we really impress him with our learning.

Wow, what a busy last week!
We have had a lovely last learning week in Crew MG, however we are sad to see Mr G move to his new crew.
