LKS2’s Roman Quest Day
We have had a great day hooking into our new expedition ‘Coming to Doncaster: why then, why now?’
It was lovely to see all the imaginative Roman costumes and I was so proud to watch the crews working together to crack the puzzles and complete the quest. Well done Crew Graves for breaking the code and opening the treasure chest.
Through our Quest Day, we have learnt facts about the Romans in Britain, used our problem solving skills and shown great teamwork and cooperation.
We are excited to continue our learning this term.

3V were courageous!
3G’s ‘Eggcellent’ compassion day
Today’s character trait has been ‘compassion’.
As part of the day, we have shown compassion to our ‘Baby Eggs’, who needed clothing, shelter and care – we had great fun using our imagination to create them.
Then it was the colour run in aid of our school and chosen charity the RSPCA (that we learnt about yesterday). Despite a few early drops of rain, we had great fun turning ourselves into colourful rainbows!!

3G – How courageous are you?
It was great to welcome everyone back for the start of the new school year.
This week is based around developing our positive character traits and today, the focus was on ‘Courage’ – and really did have to face our fears (me included!).
We were lucky enough to be visited by Nick from Project Wild, who brought some of his little friends along with him – Humphrey the snake, Cinnamon and Liquorice the millipedes and Charlie the Tarantula!! Many of us had to show a lot of courage, as we held, stroked or high-fived our mini-beast visitors! It was amazing to see how everyone embraced the situation and really used their courage – even though they had been so scared to begin with!
We then completed some ‘Commando Joe’ challenges, working together to problem-solve and support each other to be courageous.
Finally we discussed different types of courage and how courage is often represented in films and stories, and thought about if we were to create a courageous character, what would they be like!
We have had a great day and I feel so proud of everyone and how they took part in the challenges we have thrown at them today – what a great start to the school year.
I wonder what tomorrow’s character trait will be?

KS1 Running Races Winners
Pride of Plover
Last week’s Pride of Plover was a huge one! The stories we heard of personal resilience and overcoming challenges were inspiring. It was great to see how we all make progress in different ways and at different paces but that working hard is always the key. Well done to everyone for showing us what it takes to be our Pride of Plover.

Sports Day!
KS1 finally got their sports day today and what a great time we had! 2P really enjoyed the mix of different activities that we got to have a go at, with the javelin being the surprising favourite (despite the wind!). We all worked hard and had great fun and even challenged ourselves to do things we weren’t sure we could do. Well done 2P!

Y1/2 Rounders Competition
Expert Visitor
This week KS1 had a very special guest come to visit us. Captain Adrian Bagnall is a retired Pilot with more than 3 decades of experience flying all over the world with British Airways. He talked about his journey to becoming a pilot and some of his experiences. He showed us lots of photographs and videos from his time of being a pilot. The children asked some fantastic questions which really showcased how much they have learned and enjoyed our current expedition.
