Y6 Harry Potter studios consent form deadline-Friday 14th May!

12th May 2021Miss Blackham

Thank you so much to those who have signed and returned their consent form for the Harry Potter studios tour. As we need to act quickly to secure our tour, we are only able to book places for those children who have returned their slips by Friday.

We will be raising funds for the childrenā€™s tea at the service station on our trip by selling bacon/sausage sandwiches next Friday to 5/6 children. Please remember your Ā£2 next Friday to secure your sandwich. We will also continue to fundraise this summer towards further leavers celebrations. Thank you so much for supporting these fantastic opportunities for your children.

Awesome maths this morning!

10th May 2021Miss Blackham

I need to give all of 6B a shout out for maths learning this morning! We used sweets to support us when finding percentages of amounts. The children were awesome and really grappled with their learning and they really challenged themselves to achieve their MEā€™s. Itā€™s fantastic to see how their collaboration skills have developed this year and I am so proud! Keep it up superstars!

Fun-packed week in LKS2

7th May 2021Mrs Graves

I canā€™t 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 todayā€™s NSPCC number day. We have shared the book ā€˜How 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!

Giving back to our mining community…

7th May 2021Miss Blackham

Today, Noah, Lola and Agrima represented crew 5/6 and took the money we raised for Markham Main mining memorial to Dennis along with copies of our anthology of poems. The poems will be placed on a plaque to go inside the memorial garden. We feel proud of our mining community and we desperately wanted to give something back to them once we had learnt all about the miners and how they shaped Doncaster in our last Expedition. The sponsored walk was an amazing way to raise funds and weā€™d like to thank everyone who took part and sponsored our pupils. The anthology of poems are available to purchase for Ā£1 each and the money raised will be donated to Markham Main. We are so proud of you all 5/6!

We are Scientists!

6th May 2021Lucy Wood

5W have been keeping up the great work this week! We have taken part in some more Science experiments. This week we delved into exploring what happens to different solutes when mixed with water. We found that some solutes such as sugar dissolved whereas others like pepper and gravy granules had a different effect on the water. The children learnt a lot about scientific vocabulary and had a fantastic time reflecting on what they learnt.
