We’ve had a lovely time getting to know the children in Crew F2 over the past few days. We’ve explored provision, made lots of new friends and had time to sing and listen to stories! We can’t wait to see what the rest of the year hold with our new crew!
We have loved our crew activity this morning where we took part in an escape room challenge! This involved tackling a series of clues to unlock a range of different locks! We absolutely loved it! This has really helped us to build our communication skills and lots of team work was needed! We all really showed our best selves this morning and we are all proud of everyone 🙂
We have had a lovely afternoon as the new Crew McGlone! The children have been exploring the classroom and the outdoor area, and making friends with our new crew members. We have all worked really hard to listen to our adults and follow their instructions first time. We have also been working hard to sit on the carpet with our legs criss-crossed. A fabulous first afternoon!
We have launched the Easy Peasy app for all parents and carers in Doncaster with children aged 0-5 years old.
The app offers thousands of activities, tips, and guidance from child development to school readiness to parental wellbeing!

Check out one of our students’ latest beautiful Expedition products, featuring powerful folk songs created by Year 7 at XP Gateshead, inspired by the rich mining heritage of North-East England. From performing mining-related songs to studying historical events and visiting Beamish Museum, our students have captured the essence of the miners’ stories.
This year, as a school, we have taken part in Chapter One.This has meant that many of our pupils in KS1 have had the opportunity to read 1:1 with a volunteer at least once a week for the whole year, that’s reading at least a whopping 40 times this year! Not only has this reading opportunity supported our pupils to develop their reading skills and better their fluency it has also boosted their love of reading! All of the pupils that have taken part in this have made fantastic progress with some now reaching the top book band level! We are super proud of them all! Yesterday, we got to take part in a live call with our Chapter One representative, as well as many of the volunteers that have been reading with our pupils. It was lovely for us all to put a face to people, as well as listen to the lovely feedback that our volunteers shared. It was such a lovely moment to share with our pupils, and the great news is there will be much more of this in the next academic year!
LKS2 children loved the sun shine today and here is what we’ve been up to.
In class today we have looked at primary and secondary colours and how we make these using primary colours. We did a fab job at our colour wheels and then we applied this to our rangoli patterns.
Miss Marsh has treated LKS2 to their own boombox which allows us to listen to music during our break times! We certainly made the most of the sunshine this morning when we danced and sang to some of our favourite songs! Shout out to Sharni-Mae for her beautiful karaoke skills!
A HUGE shoutout to Luke and Zach who earned themselves a golden ticket in our reading challenge from this term. Each of them has read every single day at home to move up on our challenge board. They even started to overlap some of the other children in crew showing just how much they have read! I am so proud of your enthusiasm with this challenge boys and I praise your efforts in making sure you have read at home every night. I hope you love your prizes!
