We still have some toys left from our Christmas Fayre that we are kindly just asking for a small donation for. The money raised will go towards reading for pleasure books for your children and some books for Doncaster children’s hospital. The toys will be available on EYFS playground at home time, from 3pm.
Thank you for all the money raised so far!

We have had a lovely afternoon celebrating the learning from this Autumn’s expedition. The children read beautifully and the singing was great. We are so proud of them all!
Well done to everyone who took part – a snapshot of the event will follow, but in the meantime, here is the video we shared this afternoon….

There will be a raffle.
Thanks

Today year 3 had been absolutely amazing during their PE lesson, the coaches gave many of them so many praises! They played so well in the teamwork games by communicating and showing off active skills. Well done year 3, this has been the best PE lesson ever today!

For this week only, Year 3 PE will be on Thursday 30th November, instead of Wednesday.
Next week will be Wednesday as usual.
There will be no PE in the final week of the Christmas term, due to other events in school – children will take part in active games that week instead – no need to wear PE kit.
Thanks

Today we were so lucky to be joined virtually by Meltem Avcil, a former Doncaster resident and the main subject for the book we have read ‘Meltem’s Journey – A Refugee Diary.’
We have started to think about why people come to Doncaster nowadays and Meltem joined us to share her personal and emotional story of how, as a young child, she fled her homeland to find herself in Doncaster of all places.
Following a time a detention centre, she eventually moved to Cambridge where she now lives.
Her story is one of determination and resilience and she was a real inspiration for the children this afternoon – they couldn’t wait to ask her questions.
For our final piece of writing, the children would really like to learn the stories behind our own school community and what attracts people to Doncaster or what makes people stay – so we would appreciate it if you could support your child, when they come home wanting to ask you questions about where you are from.

We found out what brought her to Doncaster and how resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity has led to personal growth and success.
