As the Spring slowly approaches, brighter mornings and nights ahead. We are actively encouraging all children, parents/carers, members of our community to be more conscientious of their travel to school! Let’s be healthy, be safe, be eco-friendly!
If you do have to drive, here is a guide of where you could park your car on surrounding streets, to include a 5 minute active walk to and from school. #LovePlover

Thank you to our local police officers for your time, effort and engagement with our EYFS children. The children loved listening to your stories, learning about a police officers role and different vehicles, then exploring the riot van! Some future Chief Inspector’s of F2 showing respect and integrity. #LovePlover
This afternoon was so wholesome! A huge thank you and appreciation to the F2M grown ups. You guys really are so supportive, collaborative and invested in your children’s learning. It was wonderful to see so many children and grown ups, working hard, having fun and creating beautiful work. Thank you so much for a lovely afternoon – you all should be so proud! #LovePlover
We are so proud of our lovely Hunter, who has joined the choir at Doncaster Minster.
We loved hearing about the courage he displayed as he sang in his first service.
Hunter also explained that there are spaces in the choir if any boys or girls would like to join.
We look forward to seeing Hunter in his robes and hopefully hearing the choir sing.
We have been learning about different emotions and how we can recognise our feelings and take care of ourselves. Today, we tried mindful colouring. Every single person managed to just concentrate on colouring and not need to talk. Mrs Bubb loved the vibe in the classroom!
Children in Year 3, 4, 5 and 6, you are invited to take part in the Danum Read Aloud competition. You will find out much more about it in crew, but here is Phil Sheppard giving you some tips for the competition. https://youtu.be/SVost4tjEMU
Here are the texts that you can choose to read out in the competition, so you can choose your favourite and start practising.
So have a read through and pick out your favourite and then start practising!

On Friday, Year 2 will be visiting Year3,4,5 and 6 classes selling the home made badges the children made as part of the ‘Not all Heroes Wear Capes’ expedition. The badges will be available for a 50p donation while stocks last.
In expedition we learned about different vehicles. We shared our experiences of these vehicles. Then we drew and painted vehicles using shapes. We continued our learning outside by investigating and exploring different vehicles and how they move. #LovePlover
In RE choosing time we explored different African clothing. We noticed they have lots of bright pretty patterns and are very thin. We danced to African beats. #LovePlover
