Coal Mining Museum

Year 5 had a fabulous time at the National Coal Mining Museum, touring the site of a real coal mine (Caphouse), learning about all the processes and history of the site from TC – our tour guide with over 40 years’ experience working in the industry.

It was great to hear that our groups were the best behaved their guide had ever led through the tour – you represented the school brilliantly!

VE Day Celebrations

What a lovely time we had singing WW2 songs and sharing a picnic soon the school field at lunchtime today, to commemorate 80 years since VE Day.

After posing for a whole school photo, it was time for a bit of fun, with some dancing and singing some more recent tunes!

We took a moment to thank those who gave their lives for us today.

Crew Schofield prepare for VE Day

Today in crew, we learnt about the significant event of Victory in Europe day – the events leading to and the subsequent celebrations of the end of World War Two. We then consolidated our knowledge by creating posters to decorate the classroom ahead of the 80th anniversary celebrations tomorrow.

I look forward to your designs forming part of our party decorations tomorrow, well done!

Superstar Cricketers

A huge well done to our year 5 and 6 cricketers who showed amazing development of their cricket skills today, placing third in the Doncaster tournament. It was great to see you taking onboard the feedback and your fielding in particular improved massively as the day progressed.

Shout out to Rahand, whose twelve runs helped cement our third place success against some really tough competition!
