We are so proud of our dancing superstar!

20th February 2024Mrs Haycock

Well done to this incredibly talented young lady. What a half term you had! Having moved up a section to dance against the ‘Juniors’, Mia was one of the youngest of roughly 20 children who competed against each other all week in solo routines. She came home with 12 individual medals: 2 gold medals; 5 silver; 3 bronze; and 2, 4th place medals – as well as others for group routines! See, I told you she was talented! I can’t wait to come and watch you and your friends perform again.

Look out London’s West End…Mia is gonna take you by storm one day!

Year 4 PE

20th February 2024Grace Henderson

The new term meant a new PE scheme; they have started on dance. Today the children had learnt about what the Haka dance was all about. We discussed the use of emotion and expression, levels, and movements that were involved in the dance, before incorporating stance, facial expression, voice and moving towards positions into their own dance with a partner. Year 4 had so much fun with this lesson!

‘Motivate Me’ Crew Challenges

20th February 2024Mrs Haycock

In our crews, we have had to think really carefully about how we can achieve a team aim. It was much harder than we first thought it would be to lower the counting stick to the ground without anyone’s fingers becoming detached from the stick. It was amazing how much better we did when we actually communicated with each other!

Well done teams.

Dance in Y4!

The children are focusing on Dance this half term and have had such a great time practicing the Haka. They learned a bit about its history and where it originated from. Then they put on their most intimidating faces to learn the first few steps.

Danum Read Aloud Competition

20th February 2024Mrs Graves

Today in crew we have launched the Danum Read Aloud competition to our children in KS2 (Year 3,4,5 and 6).

The theme this year is book openings. Children can select their favourite from the selection of extract to perform for their crew. Winners will then go into the KS2 semi-final and winners from that will progress into the school final, held on Thursday 7th March – World Book Day.

One overall winner from our school final will be entered into the Doncaster final held at the Danum Museum and Art Gallery on 27th March.

Good Luck everybody!
