Hit play on the video below to see all the amazing activities our children experienced today at Murton Park.
We can’t wait to build on this exciting hook to help the children get smart and produce beautiful work for our ‘Coming to Doncaster; why then and why now?’ expedition.
What an amazing day Year 3 have had on their visit to Murton Park!
The children spent the day fully immersed in the life of a Viking by becoming Vikings themselves! Dressed to impress, the children were invited to join a Viking Village and learnt how to make bread, make pottery, gather fire wood and become warriors to defend the village from Anglo-Saxon attacks.
The children behaved impeccably and had so much fun. They made us all proud and demonstrated how working hard to get smart doesn’t just happen in the classroom.
The pictures below will give you a flavour for our day, but look out for the video we will be posting soon with even more pictures and videos!
This morning I have seen many classes getting smart. They have been solving challenging maths questions, writing using high level punctuation and sharpening their art skills with critique. Well done guys!
These children were enjoying the new play gym while showing off their great new uniforms.
Check out all of our exciting adventures from the first week back of the new school year!
We’ve had a Hero hook day, explored indoor and outdoor provision and got stuck in with our learning!
This week has been our first week together as Crew Tucker and it has certainly been one to remember!
We have spent this week delving into our first expedition, ‘Coming to Doncaster; why then and why now?’ and our first case study which aims to answer the question, ‘Why did the Vikings come to Doncaster?’. Our Hook Week has involved lots of exciting activities: developing our artistic skills using clay to create dragon eyes and sketching dragons; becoming performers of dragon poetry; cooking using viking recipes and being detectives to investigate a mystery visitor who created havoc in the school hall and forest school!
Watch the video below to get a feel for yourselves for all the fun we have had this week.
Time and time again, the children have blown us all away with their positive attitudes, exemplary behaviour and excitement to learn new things; we can’t wait to watch them grow and develop further throughout the school year and will continue to share our learning with you on our blog.
Have a great weekend everyone!
What a great week we have had. It certainly feels like our little crew is bonding and finding our feet and confidence. I have really been blown away by their determination, excitement and characters this week.
This week we started looking at our expedition – ‘What can I do to be a hero in my community?’ We have enjoyed our hook week (photos will be in our this week in the phase video). We learnt a poem, made our own superheroes, became cartoon heroes and trained to become heroes. The children looked amazing in their costumes and smiles galore filled the room.
We look forward to seeing everyone on Monday. Have a great weekend.
Mr Longley, Miss Holdsworth and Mrs Brown.
Remember school finishes at 1.50 today. Please ensure you collect your child promptly, unless they are pre-booked into after school clubs.
Thank you to everyone that has collected their Child’s uniform, all remaining uniform is being sorted and will be sent home with your child tonight. Unfortunately we have ran out of some sizes, more have been ordered, this does mean that if the size you ordered has out of stock you may not get this today, hopefully they will be available next week.
For those of you that have requested to change the size please can you return your uniform today, if you haven’t already.
Thanks Mrs Lythe
What a great start to the term! We’ve had a fantastic great two days in Crew Godley, we have shown we are a crew who know how to Work Hard, Get Smart and Be kind. We have spent the week launching our new crew; checking in, deciding on our crew norms, and choosing our first site team to help look after our crew environment.
Today we launched our new expedition, ‘Not all Heroes Wear Capes’.
What an absolutely fantastic day we’ve had exploring what makes us heroes! We were able to confidently articulate who our heroes were and why. We had some fantastic discussions and I was so proud of how mature, thoughtful and brave our crew were when speaking about our personal experiences.
I’m sure all of our heroes will sleep tonight after a very busy day!
