You may recall, a little while ago, Years 5 and 6 took cuttings from a houseplant while investigating asexual plant reproduction during our science case study.
Now the cuttings had successfully rooted, it was time to pot them into their own compost so they can get enough nutrients to grow into beautiful plants to decorate our classrooms.
Thank you to the children who helped to do this. We will keep them well fed and watered and observe their growth as the year passes.
Please click above for key dates including dress up days and info regarding our upcoming expedition. It’s going to be a fantastic one!

Our student ambassadors had the pleasure of showing our lovely visitor from Australia -Sally- around our school today. Sally works across 14 schools in Australia and the girls loved hearing about how they have started to engage in crew and expeditions just like we do. They cannot wait to contact Sally in the new year to learn more about her schools.

Well done to our lovely Lena who has completed home learning every day this term all linked to her SATs. She has been working on her areas of development with her brother and demonstrated many times how to lead her own learning. So proud of you Lena, enjoy your Christmas treats!

Our super sewers have blown me away this week in Year 5/6. These children have absolutely demonstrated craftsmanship and quality and I can’t wait for you to all see the finished product.
Christmas cards and calendars will be sent home tomorrow.

Some of our final products, the beautiful bird boxes, have now gone to their new homes in Sandal Beat Wood. We are so excited to see them up and the birds accessing them. We know some of our Year 5/6 crew are planning to go and visit them very soon!

The 12 children had a great afternoon at Doncaster Rover’s Stadium. They enjoyed a stadium tour and top quality coaching from the Doncaster academy coaches. Finished with lots of fun football games. All children worked hard, developed their skills and showed compassion to their opponents. # LovePlover
It is your last chance to submit your home learning/revision. I will draw the winner in our crew session.
I am so proud with how hard you are all working so please keep it up. You are smashing it.

We are so proud of our Year 5&6 pupils who produced numerous hand crafted bird boxes to share within our local community. We really wanted to leave a lasting legacy and therefore donated them to a range of schools within our trust along with some local schools. We have also donated some to care homes, the RSPCA, Sandall Beat wood and some to our experts who came to support us when making the bird boxes.
We are so so proud of our children and their hard work. To build on activism, we will be selling some of the bird boxes at our Christmas fayre on Thursday and all the money raised will go towards the bird sanctuary at the RSPCA- our Crew charity.
Please see some of the photos showing where our bird boxes now live!
