Another fantastic afternoon working on our art work 🙂
Art continues in MI
Water Safety
Today, we were very lucky to be part of a live talk with Yorkshire Water about the importance of being safe near water. It was really interesting to listen to some of the hidden dangers around open water. The main messages were to stay away from the edge and ensuring that we don’t try to go in after someone who is having difficulty. It’s important that we call for help and don’t put ourselves into danger. We ended the call with a quiz, safe to say we had all discovered so much and scored full marks! We then continued our work by spotting hidden dangers and creating water safety posters to share with our grown ups.

Telling the Time
In maths last week, we had a practical lesson where we were able to use the clocks to start discussing how to tell time. It was modelled each of the times and then we had an opportunity to apply this with our own clocks.
Worded problems
In Arithmetic last week, we went through how to answer a range of worded problems. We discussed the key words and which operation we’d need to do to answer the question.
Handwriting
Over the last few weeks we’ve been working in small groups so we can practice and start refining out handwriting. Some of us are focusing on ensuring we’re starting on the line and making small tweaks to improve our handwriting whereas others are going back to ensuring we are forming our letters accurately and using the correct joins.
Do all liquids evaporate at the same rate?
Last week it was time to conduct our next experiment which allowed us to discover whether all liquids evaporate at the same rate.
Before starting the experiment, we made a prediction about whether we though they would or not. It was great seeing children making reference to the viscosity and how this would impact the rate it evaporates.
Once we made out predictions, we set up the experiment and observed the changes over the next few days.
Throwing the chapatti
Today in our experience lesson, we each took it in turns to throw the chapatti as far as we could. We then ran and put our bean bag down as a marker to see who through the chapatti furthest like a frisbee.
Summer holiday camps
We have camps being held at school in the summer holidays

There is a FAQ on Active Fusion’s website to refer to if you have any questions.
Read the following for your HAF code when applying:
Families that are eligible for free school meals in Doncaster were sent a letter on 31st May to their home address from the benefits team, this letter has information about the HAF and a unique code for each child in the household. When it comes to book, if they have misplaced or forgot the code they can contact the benefits or HAF team ([email protected]) and a code will be sent to them.
Book Talk
In our reading lessons last week, we focused heavily on vocabulary and understanding this in context. This is a skill we’ve been working hard on throughout the year as we come across words we’re unfamiliar with in the text. This allows children to fully comprehend the text when we’re reading.
