LKS2 Community Meeting 🏫🌟🏆

15th June 2023Sophie Elmer

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!

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.

Maths in Crew MI

15th June 2023Emily Ibbotson

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 🔍

14th June 2023Kate Thompson

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.

Simple, compound and complex sentences

13th June 2023Ruth Shields

This afternoon, we have been consolidating our knowledge on simple, compound and complex sentences.

Simple – contains one clause

Compound – joins 2 simple sentences together using coordinating conjunctions.

Complex – joins clauses together using subordinating conjunctions.

We are doing our best to fill any gaps on learning before we complete assessments next week.

Poetry – The Miner

13th June 2023Ruth Shields

During our expedition lesson, we have been annotating a poem about mining and unpicking vocabulary.

We had a book talk session so that we could discuss the poem and help with our understanding. In addition, we have generated phrases and words that we could use when it comes to writing their own poetry in preparation for our Summer final product.
