Yesterday, in our āTime to read Tuesdayā crew, Year 6 discussed the names of authors they were familiar with. They decided they wanted to widen the list of names so they made a pledge to read 10 books from authors they have never heard of before by the end of Year 6. They then visited our in school library before sitting down to read. The children were so excited to read for pleasure. Every time a book is completed, we will add the author to our list of authors!

Today more children have been exploring and learning about our historic heritage around Doncaster on our Fieldwork.
Year 6 smashed leading their own learning this afternoon. They completed an arithmetic test and then identified their areas of development and worked on these this afternoon. They then presented their learning to everyone to show what they had achieved. We used the protocol gist of five to show How our confidence had grown over the course of the session. I am so impressed with everyone!

Please make sure children are wrapped up warm for the trips this week, with sensible shoes. We will be outside walking for approximately 2 hours.
Year 6 started their hook into our new expedition today with a ālooking upā walk around our city centre. We looked at significant buildings and the vast history our city has to offer. Iām looking forward to doing the same with the rest of the children.
6T are creating beautiful work, learning all about perspective in their art lessons. I have been so impressed with their attention to detail. Well done everyone. #LovePlover
Our spring SATs competition has been launched! All children will have their booster revision timetable shared at their SLCās this week. For every session they attend, they will get a ticket in the draw. For every piece of home learning they do linked to our revision sites they will also get a prize in the draw. The two prizes (as voted by the Year 6 children) are a Jellycat teddy and an American sweet hamper. The two winners will be drawn on the last day of the spring term and our final revision competition will be launched over Easter!
Thank you for your continued support with revision and your commitment to SATs! We are so proud of you all!
