Today we had the privilege of taking part in a live video call with Meltem, a refugee from Turkey. We found out all about her journey from Turkey to Doncaster and her life as a refugee. 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.

Today, class 3SG have been inside the hall today to work on their team building skills and communication. They were absolutely fantastic starting off with a game involving sense of direction and understanding North, East, South and West. They then split into groups and used cones to play a colour memory game. They worked so well together in groups and had so much fun!

We are scientists!
Today, in 3GS, we have been investigating shadows and how moving closer to or away from a light source changes the length of a shadow. Have you ever noticed how your shadow looks at different times of the day?
We have also been investigating how mirrors reflect light and explored which materials are reflective.

We wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you from Key Stage 1 to everyone who helped raise money towards the buddy benches. We were blown away by the kind donations, which will help us buy two handcrafted buddy benches for the playgrounds as part of our current expedition.
Well done to everyone who donated money and completed their sponsored walk today. It really was a big crew effort!
We look forward to sharing our designs and the finished product shortly.
On Friday, we spent some time learning about the Festival of Diwali, to link with our third Case Study ‘How does light illuminate our world?”.
Diwali is being celebrated by Hindus, Muslims and Buddhists all around the world this week, so it was perfect timing to do some research and find out more.
We watched videos and learnt the story of Rama and Sita and then we took part in a treasure hunt of facts around the room to see how much we had learnt.
We would like to wish everyone who has been celebrating this weekend a very happy Diwali.
