Disneyland Paris 2025 parent drop in- Monday 24th February 3-4pm

20th February 2025Miss Blackham

I am offering a drop in session for parents to pop to see me if they have specific questions regarding the Disneyland Paris trip. A formal meeting will take place once the exact timings have been confirmed with the company for each day/activity. This will not be provided to us as a school until the summer. However, we do have a rough itinerary.

The trip will take place on Monday 10th November and children will return home on the evening of the 13th of November. The trip will include a full day in Disneyland Paris, a day in Paris and the two travel days will consist of team blinding activities at the centre such as rock climbing, the big swing etc.

Rooms and groups will be decided in the autumn as we appreciate it is still a while away and friendships change.

Please note you are welcome to email any questions you have or pop to see me in 6B. I just wanted to offer a date where parents could come face to face to ask anything they need.

Thank you for the support with this school trip.

-Miss Blackham

Votes for Women?

13th February 2025Mr Schofield

Today, we debated Women’s suffrage. 5S got into character to imagine the perspectives of those who may have been for and against the rights of women to vote in the early 20th Century, holding a heated debated in our class parliament to present their views.

It was brilliant to see such passionate acting from both sides, all using their boards and placards to articulate the point of view of their chosen side.

Well done!

Safer Internet Day 2025 (5S)

11th February 2025Mr Schofield

The children engaged brilliantly today to articulate ways in which they can remain safe online.

We discussed how to keep an eye out for scams, phishing, and other ways to protect ourselves and our information – always ensuring we have a safe and enjoyable experience while using the internet.

I was really impressed with the amazing ideas from the class, you are clearly all very aware of your responsibilities when staying safe online – keep it up!

Crew Schofield Review Books

6th February 2025Mr Schofield

Crew Schofield selected some of their favourite titles to begin designing book review posters.

It was great to see you collaboratively decide upon which books to review, then considering summaries and your favourite parts of each story, encouraging future readers to pick up a book!

Building our crew

3rd February 2025Miss Blackham

As part of Motivation Monday, Year 5&6 pupils had to write unknown facts about themselves to place in the centre of the circle. They then each took it in turns to guess who had written the fact. In our debrief, we discussed how we had learnt a lot about people we thought we already knew quite well and we then linked this to sharing what type of ‘learner’ we all are so we can support one another’s styles academically.

5S are in the hotseat!

31st January 2025Mr Schofield

Today, 5S took part in a ‘hot seating’ activity where they took on the roles of interviewer and our model of ‘courage’, war hero Ben Parkinson.

The children asked open questions to ‘Ben’ about his life, career and achievements as a veteran. It was good to see you recall your knowledge of Ben to articulate your thoughts and feelings in character – well done!

Road Safety with Year 5

30th January 2025Mr Schofield

A huge thank you to our visitors from Doncaster Council who visited year 5 this morning to talk about all aspects of road safety. We have all pledged to wear seatbelts in cars, helmets when riding bikes and scooters, always undertaking activities in a safe manner, away from traffic.

There was some amazing engagement from the class who listened attentively throughout, you really are ‘getting smart’!
