Our Mining Expert

4th June 2025Mr Schofield

Today, Years 5 and 6 were visited by Rob, a local expert in mining with over forty years’ experience in the industry. We felt truly immersed in the life of a miner in Doncaster as he answered all the children’s brilliant questions and showed us through the range of artefacts he had gathered over his exciting career. It was great how he and the children made connections between our recent visit to Caphouse colliery and the vast number of coal mines in our home city of Doncaster.

This experience really helped to tee up our afternoon of family learning, keep an eye out for the next blog!

Coal Mining Museum

2nd June 2025Mr Schofield

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

8th May 2025Mrs Graves

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

7th May 2025Mr Schofield

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!
