Wonderful Week!

30th April 2021Mrs Graves

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!

Practising PE with Year 4

30th April 2021Mrs Graves

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.

LKS2 investigate ‘How clean are your teeth?’

26th April 2021Mrs Graves

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 ‘A poo, a gnu and you’ and ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid’. 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 won’t have a battle getting the children to clean their teeth this weekend!

NSPCC Number day

26th April 2021Mrs Price

On Friday 7th May we are going to be celebrating NSPCC Number day. We will be focusing on number and other maths throughout the day. We would like children to dress up in something related to number if they so wish.

I am looking forward to seeing the different creations.

What a Wonderful World

16th April 2021Mrs Graves

Before Easter we completed our expedition by recording our Plover version of the song ‘What a Wonderful World!’ We will be using this in the celebration of our Spring Expedition in May but we thought you would like a sneak peak. You can watch it on Youtube here:

We have also completed giant collaborative artwork for our final product, The Great Wave.

We decided to delay celebrating our expedition until all children had returned to school, to ensure that they could all contribute to the Final Product- I am so glad we did as the result is fantastic.

We had lots of potato photos for the potato character competition and some great reviews on the Padlet – check out the books that have been recommended – they are bound to make you LOL!
