We are historians!

13th May 2021Miss Blackham

6B have been historians this afternoon. They have been researching why trains have adapted and changed over the years. They have realised that one of the main reasons is due to the purpose of trains and climate change. The children have written some gorgeous writing which I can’t wait to display on our Expedition display! Well done 6B!

Supporting our local mining memorial

13th May 2021Miss Blackham

Dennis, the lovely gentleman in charge of Markham main mining memorial, personally invited these three children back to the gardens along with numerous other schools in our area. He wanted to share our anthology of poems with them as he wanted to inspire other schools to write their own. We were so proud when Dennis read out our poem in front of the newspaper representative as well as numerous ex miners and other schools! The children also really enjoyed listening to the Markham main band!

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 children’s tea at the service station on our trip by selling bacon/sausage sandwiches next Friday to 5/6 children. Please remember your £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 ME’s. It’s fantastic to see how their collaboration skills have developed this year and I am so proud! Keep it up superstars!

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 we’d like to thank everyone who took part and sponsored our pupils. The anthology of poems are available to purchase for £1 each and the money raised will be donated to Markham Main. We are so proud of you all 5/6!
