What is a mosque?

27th February 2024Olivia Fox

This afternoon, Y2 explored videos and reading to understand what what we would find inside a mosque. We labelled the different areas of a mosque and learned what each area was for.

Our exit ticket was to discuss, ‘Why might it be helpful for Muslims to meet and spend time together?’

George said, ‘People won’t be lonely because they will be with friends. They could also teach each other how to pray.’

Alissa said, ‘They could meet new people.’

Harry said, ‘Their God would want people to be together and to be happy.’

Polar Bear Experience at YWP 🐻‍❄️

26th February 2024Nicola Robson

Today we were very lucky to be able to have a video call live for the Project Polar at Yorkshire Wildlife Park. We were able to ask lots of questions and found out lots of information about the polar bears who live in Doncaster. We found out their skin is black and their fur is see through, they like to eat lots and meat and they enjoy playing with lots of different toys. A huge thank you to Alex who made sure we saw the polar bears swimming, walking and snoozing!

Casualty rescue…

22nd February 2024Ruth Shields

Thankfully we were saved from the rain yesterday and had our Scotties session in the hall. This allowed children to practice their casualty rescue. Children were split into the lift crew and of course the rest had to be an injured patient. They took it in turns and learned the importance of being a team. This was put to the test when Mick was the patient however they were successful because they worked together.

George Seurat 🖼️ 👩‍🎨

22nd February 2024Laura Godley

Today we were artists and found out about the French post-impressionist artist Georges Seurat. 
Seurat used pointillism to create his artwork. After a gallery walk and a critique session we had a go at using the pointillist techniques. We decided that this was one of our favourite technique with the effects we created and critiqued our first piece. We then used the critique to create another draft.

Miss Burge also shared that she was a magnificent artist at school and drew her Dad using pointillism. We were blown away by her portrait. This inspired us to try even harder, to get smart.
