First on the scene

In English, we looked at the descriptive language used in a Pathe news report of the horrific 1966 Aberfan mining disaster. After, children were challenged to act as journalists and report from the scene. It was great to hear your news reports come to life! Well done.

Miners Dress Up in 5S

As part of our hook week into ‘At the Coalface’, Year 5 today came to school dressed as coal miners. We participated in some immersive P.E. which encouraged us to imagine the life of children – many of whom were our age – expressing their feelings, emotions and actions through the medium of dance.

It’s Pantomime Time!

F2 loved this mornings Jack and the Beanstalk pantomime! What a lovely way to end a celebratory week. #LovePlover

1C Recount A Trip… Through Drama!

Yesterday, 1C recounted their trip to The Deaf School using actions and signs! This helped us remember what we did in chronological order, in order to help us prepare to write up our own recounts of the day!

Danum Read Aloud Competition

After a rigorous round of heats and a highly competitive semi-final, our Read Aloud Finalists really did themselves proud!

Reading the openings from a variety of books, they performed in front of the KS2 children with great confidence and to a very high standard.

It was a very difficult decision to choose a winner but I am very pleased to announce that Johnny Connor in 5M was selected to represent our school at the Doncaster Final later in March at the Danum Museum and Art Gallery.

Good Luck Johnny, I am sure you will be great!
