A big thank you to Mrs Ogle, Adele and Sue from catering and Miss Bush and Mrs Douthwaite for organising our break time toast.
Starting from today, all our children will be able to enjoy a slice of toast – so no more rumbling tummies!

I love to hear how our expeditions inspire our children to go out and take their learning further.
I was thrilled today when Ashton brought a very special letter that he had received into school. Ashton wrote to Sir David Attenborough and got a lovely personalised reply back.
Ashton said that he told Sir David how much he enjoyed his programmes and that his favourite animal is a Blue Whale. Well done Ashton for taking the initiative and writing the letter.
We have had quite a few children visiting the dentist over the last few weeks. When Bradley went, he asked for photographs to compliment his learning – well done Bradley!

We didnāt bother getting dressed on Friday, instead we came to school in our pyjamas – but it was all for a good cause.
We were in our pyjamas to raise the importance of sharing a bedtime story and to support the Book Trustās quest to make sure every child gets a bedtime story.
Thank you to everyone that took part.

Today we feel really lucky as Doncaster Stories, the Childrenās University and the Doncaster Opportunity area have provided all KS2 children with bags and craft resources to take part in the Doncaster Reading Miles challenge!
All Children in years 3, 4, 5 and 6 are being encouraged to read at least 10 minutes a day and to work their way round their Doncaster map, earning stickers as they reach their destination.
Completing the map will count towards the Childrenās University graduation and will earn the children certificates.
We are also going to have our own friendly competition in school.

I canāt believe that there have only been 4 days at school this wee, we seem to have done so much!
In English, we have developed our speaking and listening skills by creating role plays about a disastrous visit to a dentist. We followed this up by starting our extended piece of creative writing – a diary entry about a disastrous visit to a dentist! We are being inspired by the Diary of a Wimpy Kid and the Demon dentist.
In Expedition, we had stomach churning investigations into how our digestive system works. We researched the functions of the parts of the digestive system and then things got a little bit messy when we created our own digestive system with bananas, orange juice, biscuits and a pair of tights!
A great week has been topped-off with todayās NSPCC number day. We have shared the book āHow many Jellybeansā which showed us exactly what 1 million jellybeans looks like. That inspired us to investigate different aspects of maths using jelly beans! We have weighed, timed, created 3D shapes, graphed, estimated and much more – and then we got to eat Jellybeans – win win!
I am so proud of working with the children and adults in LKS2, their hard work and enthusiasm makes me look forward to coming to work every day!

Hi everyone
This is just a reminder that on Friday we are celebrating NSPCC Number day. Have you decided what you are coming dressed up as yet? I am looking forward to seeing your creations.

What a great week we have had in LKS2 this week!
We began the week by setting up our scientific experiment, to investigate the impact of different substances on our teeth. We did this by covering eggs in different liquids – coke; milk; water; and orange juice. We looked at the results yesterday and looking at the reactions of the egg shells, it is safe to say that coke and orange juice are not good for your teeth! We have to make sure we brush our teeth well after drinking them!
We continued our learning about how to make Doncaster more healthy, with an expert visitor – Mr Price a paramedic. The children had lots of great questions and were fascinated by what Mr Price had to say.
We are looking forward to what more we will learn next week!
We will see you all on Tuesday!

We have been developing our sporty skills this afternoon in Year 4.
Miss Lotysz, Mrs Pass and I were really impressed with the way children were working on improving the accuracy of their throwing and catching. There was also some great critique to help each other improve.
It would be really helpful if children could bring PE kits to school on Monday and leave them for the week, especially with our current expedition about health.
Have a lovely bank holiday weekend and I will see you all on Tuesday.

We have had a great week in LKS2 this week learning all about our teeth.
In English we have been comparing diary entries, looking at an extract from āA poo, a gnu and youā and āDiary of a Wimpy Kidā. When then wrote our own diary entries around visiting the dentist.
In Expedition, we have learnt the names and functions of the different teeth, as well as what a tooth is made from – but best of all, we investigated how clean our teeth are using disclosing tablets – that created a few giggles!
Hopefully parents, you wonāt have a battle getting the children to clean their teeth this weekend!
