Geography in Year 3
This week, we have been considering the ‘push’ and ‘pull’ factors that influence people moving to Doncaster.
We now know that push factors, are what force people to leave their homes and are usually negative reasons. On the other hand, pull factors are the positive things that encourage people to come to Doncaster.
Who would have thought that Doncaster have thought that Doncaster has just been voted the number ONE city that people are wanting to move to. I wonder if you know the reason why?

Amazing craftsmanship and quality in DT!
Just look at this superstar sharing her amazing bird box design in today’s DT lesson. I was blown away by Ellie’s drafting and re-drafting to ensure her bird box incorporated all of the features we discussed to ensure it would be sustainable, sturdy and the most successful design. 10 crew coins for working hard!

We are F2 crew!
In crew today, we worked together to get the hoop all around the circle without letting go of eachother’s hands. We realised we needed to help eachother by talking, guiding and encouraging. We reflected in our debrief that this is what good friends do for eachother. It was not easy but we got by with a little help from our friends. We ended the day watching some awesome friends in the movie, Toy Story!

Today we read the story of Chapatti Moon and then enjoyed baking our own chapattis. They tasted delicious!

Courage in Year 5
Last week, our Year 5 children showed incredible courage as they took on a special mini-project all about the RSPCA. From the very beginning, they threw themselves into learning about animal welfare and the important work the charity does – approaching each task with enthusiasm, bravery, and curiosity.
As part of the project, the children explored real-life skills such as budgeting, percentages, and planning for fundraising or awareness campaigns. These topics can be challenging, but Year 5 tackled them head-on, showing confidence and determination as they worked through problems and made thoughtful decisions.
One of the highlights of the week was the creation of their beautiful leaflets promoting the Five Welfare Needs of Animals. Each leaflet was a fantastic blend of creativity and compassion, demonstrating not only their understanding of animal care but also their commitment to raising awareness in the wider school community.
We are incredibly proud of Year 5 – not just for the quality of their work, but for the courage they showed in trying new things, asking questions, and thinking deeply about how to help animals in need.
Well done, Year 5! Keep being brave, thoughtful, and brilliant.
Just another Mathsy Monday…
It’s a good job the children had their brains switched on today! Mrs Bubb kept forgetting how to count carefully so the children had to remimd her! These were the rules they made:
- Say the numbers in the correct order.
- Move only one object for each number you say.
- Stop counting at your stopping number. (This tells you how many).
After correcting Mrs Bubb, the children had a go. Some of us needed reminding to stop at the stopping number but by the end, we all had thumbs up for being careful counters!
