Yummy veggie fajitas

As part of our expedition, Ready, Steady, Grow: How can I be the healthiest version of me? 2L has been preparing food. We worked in small groups and carefully sliced peppers, mushrooms, and onions, as well as peeling and grating carrots and cheese. We then cooked the veggies and turned them into vegetable fajitas. They were yummy!

Healthy Home Learning

It was lovely to welcome some of our grown ups in this morning as part of our expedition learning ā€˜See How Things Growsā€™. Thank you children and grown ups for working hard, getting smart and being kind. We made healthy fruit kebabs, played fruit matching games, paints our favourite fruits, created a fruit bowl collage and made some cool fruit masks! #LovePlover

Iron Man Workshop

On Tuesday, we were thrilled to have Phil Sheppard from the National Literacy Trust and Doncaster Stories deliver a workshop about the Iron Man, to support the reading we have been doing.

Phil guided us through how to draw the Iron Man, using some of the techniques book illustrator Chris Mould used when illustrating the book, the Iron Man.

We were very proud of the result!

We are looking forward to working with Phil again on World Book Day.

Creating Faces


The children were able to name all the features on their faces.

What do we use our ears for? Where are our eyes? These were some of the questions children answered and discussed. They then chose in provision to create faces using different materials and medians. #LovePlover

Expert visitor workshop with Phil Sheppard

Everyone absolutely loved our expert visitor, Phil Sheppard, who came to school to tell us more about our key text: The Iron Man, written by Ted Hughes. Not only did we learn more about the author and the book, but we were also told about The Mexborough Iron Man Trail. This wasnā€™t allā€¦he also taught us all how to drawn our own Iron Man. We are so proud of the beautiful work we produced!

Whoā€™d have thought itā€™d be so easy to draw The Iron Man? Thank you, Phil, for coming. We all learnt so much and are going to design our own robots using the skills you taught us later this week!

5S are little people with big dreams!

As part of our hook week into historical figures which influenced our lives, we considered the hopes and aspirations we have for ourselves and Doncaster, presenting them in the style of ‘little people, big dreams’.

I have seen some really impressive ideas and can’t wait to see how you all enact those as you grow up!

Mr Schofield.

5S are artists

Year 5 enjoyed developing their sketching skills by using a grid to assist in drawing an outline of our model of courage for this term: Ben Parkinson.

Watch this space for an exciting project which will incorporate the work of every child in year 5 and 6!
