Wonderful Week!

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

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.

Super English work!

I have seen some gorgeous English work this morning during our red box work lesson. We discussed the emotions of characters during a potions scene in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. We used colours to support the emotions we decided upon and we discussed why we had selected certain colours and why we felt they resembled certain emotions. We then added the sentences into our recount of the potions lesson.

Marvellous maths!

We have had a fabulous maths lesson this morning. We have been converting percentages to fractions and decimals. The year 6ā€™s worked amazing in their collaborative groups. I saw lots of children leading their own learning to ensure they achieve their ME! So, so proud of you all 🌟

LKS2 investigate ā€˜How clean are your teeth?ā€™

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 ā€˜A poo, a gnu and youā€™ and ā€˜Diary 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 wonā€™t have a battle getting the children to clean their teeth this weekend!
