Healthy Home Learning

28th January 2025Joshua Meade

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

13th January 2025Mrs Graves

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

10th January 2025Joshua Meade


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

8th January 2025Mrs Haycock

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!

8th January 2025Mr Schofield

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

8th January 2025Mr Schofield

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!

5S Cam Toys

6th December 2024Mr Schofield

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!
