Whilst learning our school rules, F1 have also been looking at our new school character traits and what British values are. We can’t wait to explore these deeper in the coming weeks.

Character Traits – F1
Category : Crew Curriculum
Compassion in 4B
On the third day of Crew Week, the class completed some activities to demonstrate the character trait: compassion. We took part in the colour run to raise funds for the school as well as our charity the RSPCA. We also completed a kindness chain to display the kind acts we have done some far this year which we will hopefully add to as the year progresses. Finally, we decorated our own baby egg which we had to show compassion and care for to make sure it didn’t crack.
Well done 4B, we have shown what a kind and compassionate class we can be!

Craftsmanship and Quality in 4B
On the second day of Crew Week, 4B were learning all about the character trait “Craftsmanship and quality”. We used demonstrated this by creating and critiquing drafts of a poster about our school charity the RSPCA. After several attempts, we produced some beautiful work which we are proud to display in the classroom.

Pizza making workshop!
Some children from Year 5 & 6 were able to engage in a pizza making workshop at Pizza Express. They each made a margarita pizza through the guidance of Adrian the pizza maker. The children really enjoyed the workshop and getting to eat the pizzas. To spread kindness, some of the pizzas were shared with staff at XP to thank them for their hard work organising the arts festival and then to Plover staff to thank them for their hard work too!
Enjoy the video!

We Care Wednesday in F2BP
We had our first ‘We Care Wednesday’ Crew session today. We checked in by sharing something we enjoy doing at school. After that we discussed what makes a nice classroom and what we expect people to do every day, every session, to make our classroom the best place and feeling it can be. We all agreed we ALL need to use kind voices and to listen to those kind voices. We also need to use kind hands and feet. We agreed to try our best all the time and to look after the lovely things that school provide for us. There were lots more! Maybe the children could tell you them? We call them our ‘Class Norms’. Mrs Bubb has written them all down for us to keep looking at to remind us of our shared responsibility. #wearecrew #loveplover
Kindness Messages
Hand washing – keeping our bodies healthy!
Today we have learnt how to keep our bodies healthy, by learning to wash our hands. We used glitter to represent germs and practised washing our hands thoroughly using soap. We noticed that if you just dip your hands in the water the germs don’t come off, you need to soap to wash them properly.
We learnt the song “wash wash wash our hands, wash our hands all day. Wash wash wash our hands, wash the germs away”.

UKS2’s first community crew of the year!
What a fantastic start to the school year in our first ever community crew! Our crews went head to head in numerous games to win the title of out first number one crew! We looked at the character trait ‘courage’ to encourage children to be confident in nominating themselves to join in the community crew games.
Superstars!

Our compassion champions!
We are so proud of our first ever character trait badge winners. These two superstars both won the compassion award for raising money for charities outside of school. Harris has raised over ÂŁ700 for children with cancer and Olivia was so brave when she had all of her hair cut off to donate to the little princess trust. We are so very proud of you both and the compassion you have shown to others. Above, they are pictured with our Cheif Academic Officier- Andy Sprakes who is our compassion champoion.

LKS2’s Roman Quest Day
We have had a great day hooking into our new expedition ‘Coming to Doncaster: why then, why now?’
It was lovely to see all the imaginative Roman costumes and I was so proud to watch the crews working together to crack the puzzles and complete the quest. Well done Crew Graves for breaking the code and opening the treasure chest.
Through our Quest Day, we have learnt facts about the Romans in Britain, used our problem solving skills and shown great teamwork and cooperation.
We are excited to continue our learning this term.
