Well done to this lovely lot who have been working hard on their fractions knowledge this week. They have really pushed themselves and their resilience has been amazing! Here they are with their fractions posters that we have added to our working walls as a reminder of the methods!

Well done again for another amazing day of learning in years 5&6! We are so proud of you all! I have seen some amazing reflections today in all classes within the phase and some great examples of engaging in our protocols!

Today’s postcard winners are:

Zara & Layla- for awesome engagement during maths

Johno & Jenson- for great perseverance in Expedition and working out which mines had been open the longest in Doncaster

Marley- for some great contributions when using our popcorn protocol

Nishal- for some excellent reflecting at the end of his lessons

Nellie, for always smiling and trying her best to achieve her ME’s

Today in Expedition, we have been looking at how many mining collieries there were in Doncaster and when they opened/closed. Many children were shocked to find that Hatfield main only closed in 2015! The children had lots of questions when presented with the data such as why were so many mines opened in 1911 and why some mines were combined- you can see more questions on our Jamboard above The children then went to find out which mine had been opened for the shortest period of time in Doncaster.

Ask your children which were the longest and shortest standing mines in Doncaster!
