Harper has shown excellent learning behaviours today. She has worked hard, got smart and been very kind.
She helped a child who was struggling with their behaviour to help them settle and walk in the line. She returned to morning learning in the afternoon to improve what she was making.
You have been a superstar Harper and we are proud of you. Well done.
3LS have made a fantastic start to the school year. It was lovely to see everyone arrive smart and smiling on Tuesday. You’ve all been stars, getting to know eachother and have worked so hard. Tomorrow will be one of Mrs Lewis’s days but I look forward to hearing about the rest of your week so keep up the good work!
Hello everybody. I am so pleased how all the children have settled in to our new class these past two days and cannot wait to meet the rest of you tomorrow! We have enjoyed playing in our new provision areas and today have celebrated one of our friends birthdays, with cake.
It has been wonderful getting to know all children and parents/carers so far this week.
Please could I just ask that on behalf of all KS1, for you to check your child’s jumpers/cardigans to ensure they have the correct jumper/cardigan, due to some being misplaced.
This afternoon our Crew created our Crew shield. Our crew colour is blue so the children worked collaboratively together to create our Viking shield. Our expedition this term is all about Vikings so it gave the children a great taste of what’s to come! Well done Crew!
Just a reminder that Year 5’s Harry Potter dress up day is Friday 3rd September. Costumes can be as creative as you like. If you are struggling for ideas, black/grey trousers and a white shirt would be great and we will make Hogwarts ties in school. Or you can come in house colours: red, yellow, green or blue. Please don’t worry if you don’t have anything, we will dedicate the first part of the morning to making props so all children are included.
Year 5&6 had lots of fun today at ninja warrior as part of their crew team building day! We had lots of children overcome fears and push themselves outside of their comfort zones! Please keep checking your children’s class blogs to see photos of their day!
What a great first day back! So many smiling faces – on both children and staff!
It was great to get the whole phase together for an assembly this afternoon – the first time I have been with my full phase for a very, very long time – and I was very impressed by the way children listened and shared their ideas.
We are having a ‘Getting to know you’ week this week, and tomorrow, children will spend the day in their crews, starting to create their new crew identity and getting to know their crew leader a little bit better.
Each year group has three crews and three crew leaders and we are lucky to have Mrs Danielska join the Year 3 crew and Mrs Carter join the Year4 crew as crew leaders. Children will start and end their day in their crews and crew leaders will be available at the end of the day to dismiss children from the Year 3 or Year 4 door, where the usually leave from.
On Thursday, we are holding our Sports day. Parents are welcome, please see Mr Meade’s blog post for more information.
On Friday it is our dress as a Viking day. We are launching our expedition “Coming to Doncaster – why then, why now?” with some physical and mental challenges and we will enjoy watching How to Train Your Dragon in the afternoon. Please don’t spend lots of money on dressing up outfits – there are lots of great ways to create a costume without lots of expense.
Just a reminder that we have our visit to Murton Park, York, on 13th and 15th September. please return you permission slips as soon as possible. The trip can be paid for through parent pay.
Finally, thank you for your patience at the end of the day when you are collecting your children. I know it is a little slow while we get to learn names and faces, but we need to make sure that the children are safe. I promise will get quicker.
