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!

Our above 97% attendance winners in UKS2!

19th February 2024Miss Blackham

It is not always easy or possible to come to school every day but these superstars have smashed our target of 97% last half-term.

This morning in community crew, I challenged all 5/6 to aim for 97% or above this half term and if we achieve it, we will ALL receive a special treat!

We can do it! 🥰

I had the privilege of teaching Year 5 today all about Islam along with the help of our experts: Shayen, Darwin, Yad, Ara and Tim! Year 5 learnt so much and produced the most beautiful cards with information all about Islam!

Today was the last time year 5 would do athletics, so they had a choice of what they could work on, taking it in turns to improve their athletic skills.

Safer Internet Day

6th February 2024Miss Lotysz

In this morning’s crew, we have gained a better understanding of how to stay safe on the Internet, with technology rapidly changing.

Digital Leaders have also been working hard over the last week to come up with some rules to be displayed in classrooms, reminding us how to stay safe and how to look after our devices.

Our maths parent workshop!

2nd February 2024Miss Blackham

A huge shout out to all of the parents who were able to join us on Thursday at our UKS2 maths parent workshop! They had the opportunity to work through an arithmetic paper just like their children will be sitting in a few months time!

In our next session, we will be looking at how to add and subtract fractions in order to further support their children at home.

The challenge for those of you who could not make it has been added to Google classroom and is due next Thursday!

5L Athletics

1st February 2024Lucy Wood

5L had a really fun morning building up a sweat. This week’s athletics activities consisted of long jump, target throw and speed bounce. The children always have such a great time practicing their skills and learning how to be resilient.
