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!

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!

All of our Year 5 & 6 pupils entered a recent competition help by Doncaster and Bassetlaw hospital. Our children created artwork and we choose the theme of ‘compassion’ one of our character traits. It is amazing to see that all of the children who entered, have their artwork displayed at the hospital. Lena was selected as the overall winner and here you can see she proudly showing off her beautiful work.
We would love you to go and visit the beautiful display and share any photos you take of your beautiful art work!
So proud of all of our 5/6 crew and of course, our lovely Lena!

I am so proud of 6B who have worked so hard on the draft and re-draft process in their recent final write. The children have shown great examples of craftsmanship and quality when writing instructions on how to make a bird box.

Just look at this superstar sharing her amazing bird box design in today’s DT lesson. I was blown away by Ellie’s drafting and re-drafting to ensure her bird box incorporated all of the features we discussed to ensure it would be sustainable, sturdy and the most successful design. 10 crew coins for working hard!

Last week, Year 5 worked on their sketching skills to produce appeal posters for the RSPCA Doncaster branch. It was great to see you taking onboard the techniques of shading, stippling, and cross-hatching to improve the depth of your work.
A special shout-out to all the children who said “I can’t draw!” then demonstrated great courage to persevere and produce clear evidence of their abilities developing.
