Monday 15th April – KS1 ‘In my day’ Dress Up Day

26th March 2024Joshua Meade

In the Summer of 2024, Y1 and Y2 pupils will be studying Diverse Doncaster, a cross-curricular expedition looking to answer the guiding question ‘Where do I belong?’

On Monday 15th April, we will be having an ‘Old Fashioned’ clothes from the past dress up day. The purpose behind the day is to promote a love for our new expedition.

Please do not feel any pressure to go out and spend any money on new outfits. That is not what we are trying to do. Maybe you could borrow some items from a friend or old person, or even have a go at reusing and making clothes from old sheets. Be creative! The costume can be something very simple and we have attached some example pictures below to help:

Thank you for your ongoing support and cooperation.

Full and Empty in Maths!

26th March 2024Kathleen Cunningham

Over the last week, 1C have been learning all about volume and capacity in maths. This lesson focussed on the different language we use to describe the capacity of containers. We used words such as full, empty, nearly full and nearly empty. We had a go a making these different measurements, working hard with our shoulder partner and discussing what the measurements should look like!

We thought really hard about capacity and whether the size of container made a difference to how much water they could hold. This lesson was lots of fun and we only got a little bit wet! Look how kind and careful we are as we work with our shoulder partners!
