Sporting Champions.

2P enjoyed the visit of Jason Cunningham. We learnt about his career and how perseverance was one of the biggest skills that needed to be learnt. Thank you for all of the money that has been raised. It will be used to enrich PE in school.

Getting fit with Jason Cunningham

This morning we have been getting fit with Jason Cunningham. We had lots of fun and learned some new boxing techniques.

Thank you Jason from everyone in 1/2K!

We are ARTISTS!

In 1/2K we are becoming really fantastic artists. We have been practicing and practicing our line art. We have drafted this piece 5 times, learning more skills as we go along! Yesterday we completed our final pieces by using the different shading techniques before we began our drafts. We are really proud to share with you some of the children’s work!

Local Artwork

Look at how fantastic 2L’s artwork has turned out! After a long process of drafting and critiquing, here are the children’s final drawings of Doncaster Deaf School. The children used their drawing and shading skills using their stippling, blending and hatching skills.

Well done to all of you, you have all persevered and created beautiful pieces of art.

It’s a celebration!

Year 2 has had a fabulous celebration of learning this afternoon. Thank you so much to all of the adults who were able to join us! The children proudly presented a summary of all of their learning throughout the expedition ‘Diverse Doncaster: Where do we belong?’.

We also proudly showed off our final product. Our very own BSL course for beginners. The children taught the grown ups how to use basic signs and then we has a BSL finger spelling challenge between the children and the grown-ups!

The children then proudly showed off their learning from this expedition. Great work Year 2!

1/2K Celebration of Learning

Thank you so much to those wonderful parents who joined us this afternoon for our celebration of learning. They delivered a wonderful presentation of our learning and it was so great to see everyone being super brave to say their own parts. I am so proud of all of you 1/2K!

The children have worked so hard this term as both local Geographers and local Historians. They have shown great enthusiasm learning more about the things they see all the time and I am so proud of their achievements. We were especially proud of our final product. We have created a scheme of learning to teach others BSL, we hope to spread this around to educate and open up conversations for as many people as we can. This has been something that has been very important in our classroom and the impact for our children really has been something special to be a part of.

Behind the scenes….

A sneak peek behind the scenes in KS1 this afternoon. We have been movie stars this afternoon, filming videos in front of a green screen with Geoff! This will be for our final product and we are so excited to share it with you. A big thank you to Geoff for filming and Plover’s own experts Joe, Zuzanna and Rahoz for being the best directors EVER!

Text Coding!

In our English lesson yesterday, we explored our model text more deeply. We talked about common features you would expect to find in a Recount. First we talked about what a Recount is, why we write them and who we are writing them for. We then searched for evidence of past tense verbs, writing in the first person (pronouns) and using time adverbials. We swapped colours for every feature to show the difference. Finally we looked for evidence of opinions.
