Fresh Air with Friends!

24th February 2022Lucy Barker

In 2B we are so grateful to Doncaster council for the activities we enjoyed this afternoon. Even the cold snow couldn’t stop us! Look how happy and excited we are – fresh air can do wonders. Thank-you to those of you who walked, scooted and biked to school today, you’re only little but you’re making a big difference. We enjoyed circus skills, healthy smoothies (that we had to make by pedalling a bike!), playing the floor is lava and biking. Bobby even got his bike booked in for a service and clean up!

I’m super proud of Vivan, Seb and Bobby today who have really impressed me by working hard. Bobby blew me and Miss Todd away with his knowledge of fractions and Vivan has impressed me with his reading. Seb, your underwater habitat is being displayed in our shared area for everyone to see, I hope you loved making it as much as I loved seeing it!

See you all tomorrow for a fantastic Friday!

World Book Day Competition

23rd February 2022Miss Topliss

Ahead of World Book Day, which is held on Thursday 3rd March, we would like to invite all children to make a book character from a toilet roll tube (or something of an equivalent size that you have at home). You can bring them into your class on World Book Day and one child from each phase will win a special prize! Below are some photos that might give you some inspiration but please let your imaginations run wild! We can’t wait to see your creations! #LovePlover

Green peace visits, finding fractions and hot seating a turtle!

23rd February 2022Lucy Barker

On Monday, we were fortunate enough to have a visit from Dawn, a volunteer at green peace who warned us about the dangers of plastic to our environment and shocked us with some scary facts! We had lots of questions to ask us and she was pleased we are taking plastic pollution so seriously. My key take away from her talk was that no plastic is even better then recycled plastic, I’m thinking I might try and find alternative ways to wrap up my sandwich at lunch instead of using plastic wrap. What will you do?

I have been very impressed with the children’s ability to see fractions, and to recognise that each part of the shape must be equal. The classroom is flooded with models that we will no doubt be using throughout the week to help us identify fractions of shapes, length and quantities. Talk with your adult at home about how you can find fractions in shapes (a great excuse to convince parents and carers to feed you pizza for tea!). Remember the important word is equal!

Cheers to Brooke for role playing as a turtle today in our seating. We have been very inquisitive and empathetic, considering how our human impact is making such a devastating impact on our sea creatures.

See you tomorrow!

Green peace Expert

Yesterday, Dawn an expert worker for Green Peace came in and shared some valuable knowledge about how we can help to save our beautiful world. The children learnt about how damaging single-use plastic is, so don’t be surprised if they start changing their habitats to make a difference to our planet! #LovePlover
