KS1 (Year 1 and 2) Walkathon

10th November 2021Stuart Longley

Well the day is nearly here😁. We are really looking forward to completing our very special walkathon tomorrow. We have designed a very special sensory circuit to complete as we work on our laps.

We have even asked Mr Hull to prepare the stocks, with the chance to soak Mr Tucker (and others) at some point of the day!

At 11am, we will all be stopping for 2 minutes to pay our respects as part of remembrance day.

The children are invited to either wear their PE kit or their superhero costumes.

There might also be a very special visit from some real life heroes tomorrow 🚒🤞

Please could we ask children to hand their sponsor money into their teacher.

Marvellous measuring in FS2.

The children in FS2 today have been discussing their expedition theme and exploring celebrations a little more. We have tried popcorn and discussed if we should serve this at our own celebration party later in the term. Everyone had a taste by measuring out amounts using cups and beakers. The children were very careful to ensure everyone had an equal share.

The popcorn was delicious!

Creative Crew!

Conversation Club (8.11.21)

9th November 2021Simon Gerrard

Yesterday, Year 3 and 4 were very lucky to be able to talk to the Conversation Club. The Conversation Club help refugees settle into the country, after escaping their home for fear of being unsafe. LKS2 were interested in hearing about their journey over and how long it will take them to settle into life. This was really important to understand that Coming to Doncaster was not always a positive thing, but offers a chance of hope. Check out our pictures of what happened during this interesting chat!

Crew Godley

What a busy start to our week, celebrating everything great about maths 🧮 🧠 

We have kick-started our active maths by investigating place value and number facts to solve problems. The crew agreed on an ‘Activity Challenge’. Our favourite was how many ⭐️ jumps can you do in 1 minute ⏱ ? Jake achieved 75! We estimated, counted our actual, recorded and discussed positions 🥇. So many skills involved 🧠

This week, sees our Walkathon 🏃‍♀️ event taplace. We have our fingers crossed for good weather so that we can complete our 100 laps and have some fun in the process. Please could we ask that any sponsor money be sent to school this week.

Have a great week everyone ☺️

Maths week Crew Fox

We have also been playing times tables fizz buzz focusing on replacing multiples of 3 with ‘fizz’ and multiples of 5 with ‘buzz’ – this challenged our brain power 🧠.

Crew Longley – Week 1

7th November 2021Stuart Longley

What a busy week, but we have really enjoyed our first week back.

We have really tried to focus on our HoWL score this week in all 3 areas (work hard, get smart and be kind). This saw us achieve an average of 3 this week 😀. We are now one step closer to our Nelli Day visit 🐾.

This week, we kick-started our art case study by investigating the work of Quentin Blake. We worked together to identify some of his illustrations and to have a go at our own illustrations. Over the next couple of weeks, we will be creating our own heroes in the style of Quentin Blake.

In art, we will also have a visit from Natasha Clarke. She is a talented local artist, who is going to help the crews create portraits of famous heroes as part of our finished product. You can see some of her amazing artwork here.

Coach Luke and Miss Tiede have been delivering our PE and we are working on basketball skills! It has been great to see the crew working as a team to develop their passing skills. 

Next week, sees our Walkathon event take place. We have our fingers crossed for good weather so that we can complete our 100 laps and have some fun in the process. Please could we ask that any sponsor money be sent to school this week.

Have a great week!
