Local Artwork

Look at how fantastic 2L’s artwork has turned out! After a long process of drafting and critiquing, here are the children’s final drawings of Doncaster Deaf School. The children used their drawing and shading skills using their stippling, blending and hatching skills.

Well done to all of you, you have all persevered and created beautiful pieces of art.

Preparing For Our COL

This week we have been looking at repeating patterns. We used paint to create repeating patterns on the buntings, ready for our celebration of learning. We then used our fine motor skills to write our names on the back, and cut out the bunting.
Reminder; we would love to see as many of you as possible at our celebration of learning! On Thursday 4th July at 2pm.

We are Artists – Second draft

Today we had a go at our second draft of our Artwork. The children really worked hard to do their line drawing without using the squared paper to help. We will continue these later on in the week before adding our shading techniques that we have been learning. Well done everyone!

Tromsø and Intake D&T Box Models

We were design technologists last week and compared our local community of Intake, Doncaster to Tromsø in Norway. The children crafted together physical features like fjords, valleys, mountains, waterfalls to represent Tromsø. Then human features such as roads, roundabouts, shops, flats and Plover Primary school that we have in Intake. #LovePlover

UKS2 family learning- using our strawberries to create a dessert!

Thank you so much to all of the parents and carers who came to our family learning event this afternoon. It was an amazing turn out!

Our children, parents and carers had the opportunity to use the freshly picked strawberries from yesterday’s fieldwork to make a dessert together. I know the children had so much fun. They are so passionate about the importance of utilising home-grown produce based on prior learning in their autumn Expedition and I know many shared their pledges with their parents today on how they will incorporate this into their every-day lives.

We hope you all enjoyed the tasty treats and we look forward to welcoming you all to our celebration of learning event on the 1st July to reveal our final product and to participate in our phase colour run, whilst raising money to support our children’s mental well-being. We can not wait!

Our case study three fieldwork- strawberry picking!

Today Year 5 & 6 pupils built on their autumn expedition where they learnt about how growing your own produce can help protect our planet and how this links to our current Expedition ‘How can a healthy lifestyle impact your body and mind?’ Instead of purchasing strawberries from a shop, they spent the afternoon strawberry picking at a local strawberry field. They will be using the strawberries as part of our family learning event tomorrow. They were so impressed with how fresh all of the strawberries were and have shared that they want to encourage their family and friends to get involved with growing their own fruit and vegetables!

I can’t wait to see the outcome of the healthy desserts tomorrow!

Characters

In F2, we have been thinking about characters from the stories we have read. This week, we are thinking about characters for our own seaside adventures. We talked about them and then went to create them using drawings, paintings, models or play dough in provision.

What’s In Your Bucket?

This week we have started case study 3. We read the story Billy’s Bucket, then used our imaginations to decide where our buckets would take us. We had a go at drawing what would be inside our buckets, then some children chose to follow up their own learning by drawing and designing, the outside of their bucket.
