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 wasn’t all…he also taught us all how to drawn our own Iron Man. We are so proud of the beautiful work we produced!
Who’d have thought it’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!

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!

Over the past few expedition lessons, 5S have been demonstrating their knowledge of mechanisms by producing a cam toy which causes a planet to rotate.
They had to carefully build a box which symbolised the blackness of space, paint a ball to a planet of their choice, then assemble an intricate cam and follower mechanism inside which converts the motion into a rotation of the planet.
Well done, the finished products look brilliant!
Today as part of our expedition, ‘Rags to Riches: What lies Within the Castle Walls?’, the children in KS1 enjoyed meeting our expert Mr Mitchell who taught the children about levers. We have been learning about how castles were defended and attacked and our expert showed the children how to make catapults. The children had great fun launching their payload of pom-poms!
Thank you for coming in to help us Mr Mitchell!
