Family Learning Fun!
What a busy morning! Thank you to all of our parents who joined us this morning to hook your children into their new expedition. Special shout out to Sienna’s mum who helped us to build our Roman centurions. They were much trickier for children’s small fingers to manipulate and build than I had anticipated. Everyone had so much fun and had learnt so much that moans and groans could be heard when it was time to pack away – so we didn’t – we extended the session instead. I hope you had a great day 4H, I know Miss Carter loved her morning with you and I have thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon too!

We love maths!
I am compassionate!
Thank you to this young man who was so kind and compassionate all day on Wednesday. He saw when others needed a helping hand and did whatever he could to help them out. He helped me when he could see I had too many things to carry and his manners are absolutely second to none! I can guarantee that should you see him in the corridor, he will always say hello and ask how you are! What an amazing young man!

Roman expert visitor!
Thank you Claire from Want2B workshops. We had a fantastic experience with you yesterday. Our favourite activity was using the role play shields to march in line as Roman soldiers using the correct Latin terms and stereotypical Roman army formations.
Looking at the genuine Roman artefacts was really interesting. Although, it felt weird to know we were holding buttons from the uniforms of actual Roman soldiers. Building aqueducts was great fun too. This really challenged many of us, so we had to be courageous to give the task a go and resilient when things went a little wrong and our aqueducts collapsed.
Special shout out to Zara who was the first to successfully build her aqueduct! You superstar, well done!
What an amazing day!

Compassion in 4B
On the third day of Crew Week, the class completed some activities to demonstrate the character trait: compassion. We took part in the colour run to raise funds for the school as well as our charity the RSPCA. We also completed a kindness chain to display the kind acts we have done some far this year which we will hopefully add to as the year progresses. Finally, we decorated our own baby egg which we had to show compassion and care for to make sure it didn’t crack.
Well done 4B, we have shown what a kind and compassionate class we can be!

Craftsmanship and Quality in 4B
On the second day of Crew Week, 4B were learning all about the character trait “Craftsmanship and quality”. We used demonstrated this by creating and critiquing drafts of a poster about our school charity the RSPCA. After several attempts, we produced some beautiful work which we are proud to display in the classroom.

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.

We are quest survivors!
Years 3 and 4 have had a wonderful time in their crews today as we launched our new expedition: Coming to Doncaster: Why then and why now?
They were faced with a range of Roman challenges, from an archeological dig to solving maths questions using Roman numerals. Completion of these challenges proved them worthy of unlocking the chest and joining a side of their choice – the Roman army or a Celtic tribe…

4H have compassion!
4H have been carrying out simple acts of kindness and asking others to pay this kindness forward. Over the last few days, ‘Pay it Forward’ tickets have been passed around school between both pupils and teachers within the Year 3/4 phase. When a chain of four kind acts had been carried out, the tickets were returned to our basket of kindness.
The baby egg challenge proved to be a great hit! Designing our baby eggs; dressing them and naming them was much more important to the children than I anticipated. They cared for their eggs so well – taking them everywhere with them and putting them down for a nap over lunchtime. Thankfully there was only one casualty – and that was only a very small crack.
The most compassionate moment of the day (in my eyes) was towards the end of the day whilst watching a video about kindness on the screen. Joe looked at his egg and a horrified expression crossed his face! His baby egg couldn’t see the screen so he turned his egg to ‘face’ it!
Keep paying it forward folks – compassion is a wonderful trait to have!
