Citizenship Crew 👫🍎🚛

As part of ‘National Healthy Eating Week’ and to celebrate the countdown to Paris 2024, Aldi, Team GB and ParalympicsGB are challenging young people aged 5–14 to get creative and design a lorry that inspires people to enjoy healthy, sustainable food. Therefore, in crew this morning we all designed our own lorries! We thought about writing, colours and suitable images to capture peoples’ attention. At the end of the session we critiqued each others and offered notices, wonders and praises! Mrs Pashley has also been tasked with choosing a winner 🌟 from each crew in LKS2! All shall be revealed in crew tomorrow…

LKS2 Community Meeting 🏫🌟🏆

Today was our last Community Meeting where it will just be us! Next week, we are very much looking forward to welcoming some of our grown ups into our Community Meetings so that we can share all of our amazing learning, celebrations, praises and appreciations!

This week we had lots to celebrate! We celebrated all of those children who took part in our Rounders Competition. Well done everyone! We are all so proud of you! 🏆

We also celebrated all of those children in each crew who read at home the most! 📚 This week’s winning crew was Crew Thompson with a total of 6 crew members reading 5 times last week! Amazing work! 🌟 I wonder which crew will take the crown next week?! 👑 We also celebrated our ‘Star Readers’ who will get to enjoy breakfast with Mrs Atherton next week! 🥐🥤

It was also nice this week to celebrate some of the children’s achievements out of school. This week we had two girls in Crew Thompson who proudly shared their medals 🥇from a recent football ⚽ tournament, where they came first! 🌟 A fantastic achievement! Well done girls! 👏

An amazing week! 🌟 We look forward to sharing more next week!

Running skills

Coach really put Crew Shields through their paces this week during their PE session. They were practicing their running skills. There were lots of tired children when they returned to class.

Well done to Kaleb and Izzy who were stars of the lesson.

Maths in Crew MI

We are still working really hard in Crew MI to make sure that we are prepared for secondary school in September. This morning, we played with the timestable cards because we know it is really important we confident with these. After that, we played a fraction game where we had to roll a dice to generate fractions and then decide where to put them so we could add or subtract them to get the biggest numbers. Finally, we played Countdown numbers game. This was great fun!

Locating local rivers 🔍

This afternoon, we used maps and iPads to locate the rivers in Doncaster and the UK. We really enjoyed finding the River Don that runs through Doncaster and then expanding our search to finding rivers in the UK finding other well known rivers such as Thames, Severn, Ouse and Humber.
