This afternoon we noticed our broad bean and runner bean had started to sprout and the shoot was growing. Then we became scientists and used STEM to see who could build the tallest beanstalk… Check out their brilliant beanstalks! #LovePlover

Colour mixing
Today we have been exploring colour mixing. We mixed yellow and blue together to create different shades of green, we then used the green we made, to paint leaves. We discussed how we can make the green paint darker/lighter, by adding more blue/yellow. Tomorrow we are going to practise cutting out our leaves, to create a collaborative beanstalk.

Planting cress
Over the last two days we have been planting cress seeds. We drew faces onto our yogurt pots so that the cress can grow as hair. We are so excited to see how our cress will grow and change.

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!

F1 Family Learning
Thank you to all the parents/carers that came along to family learning yesterday, to support their child’s learning in school. We made some delicious fruit kebabs, did some collaging and used fruit to print with paint.

Healthy Home Learning
It was lovely to welcome some of our grown ups in this morning as part of our expedition learning ‘See How Things Grows’. 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.

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 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!

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.
