As part of our poetry work this week around the poem ‘Born Deaf’ by R.Hereford we took part in a listening walk to really focus on what it is like to be able to hear. We heard all sorts of noises around school; from tiny noises like our shuffling feet on the carpet, to humongous sounds such as the tables in the dinner hall being set up!
Our favourite part though was making our listening ears, which helped us with our listening skills all day!
We Care Crew we learnt about the positive benefits of exercise physically but more importantly mentally. We worked out our guiding question. We developed our ball skills in PE!
Our day two hook was an active walk through Intake, our local community. We explored some of Intakes landmarks and found out some historic information about Danum Secondary School, Sandall Beat Woods, Doncaster Racecourse and Doncaster Deaf Trust. Thank you to the parent helpers for your support and well done to all of the children who walked, talked, asked and answered lots of questions – linking to our previous expeditions as well as our current expedition!
1C had a great time this afternoon learning how to code in computing. All children were able to create different algorithms to move their characters across a screen. They also learnt how to create different backdrops and had an amazing time experimenting to see what else they could make their characters do.

It was marvellous seeing the children dressed in such smart and old fashioned clothes. We enjoyed a crew challenge. Geoff the expert showed us some aerial view photos of Intake and Doncaster. We learnt about some history of Doncaster and explored a time capsule and artefacts found within Plover! #LovePlover
A huge, huge appreciation and thank you from 1M, Plover school and Mrs Ogle for Maria! We were all so touched at the generous Ā£110 donation Maria has raised from auctioning off her beautiful art work from last expedition, for school funds towards helping animals at our school! #LovePlover
