Feature finding in 6T

6T have worked so hard to identify features of our model text, a narrative, this afternoon. I was so proud of how conscientious they were in looking for each feature on our checklist. I am looking forward to seeing their stories at the end of this writing cycle #LovePlover

Crew Blackham are excited to enter the Danum read aloud competition!

In our time to read crew this week, we launched a very exciting competition. The children had to select one of nine story openers to read out loud in preparation of the Danny read aloud competition! A selection of finalists will have the opportunity to read their opener at Danum library in the final.- how exciting!

Danum Read Aloud Competition

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!

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! 🥰

The parents smashed adding and subtracting fractions!

Yesterday in our maths parent workshop, we looked at adding and subtracting fractions. The parents did such a fantastic job and then they were able to support their children with their SATs revision.

Thank you to everyone who came to support. The online task for those who couldn’t is now on Google classroom. After half-term, we will be looking at multiplying and dividing fractions!

Faith Day Year 6

Year 6 have enjoyed learning more about Islam and how Muslims try to live their lives using the 5 Pillars of Islam. They asked questions to deepen their understanding and showed fantastic respect and tolerance when discussing different beliefs that people have. They produced some lovely work linked to the 5 Pillars of Islam #LovePlover
