Reading for pleasure during time to read crew!

12th June 2024Miss Blackham

Year 6 are determined to fill our reading dismay with as many books as possible. In time to read crew we decided to take our books outside! They had so much fun discussing their books!

Come to Doncaster!

11th June 2024Mrs Lewis

Today 2L has been learning about the features of posters. We looked at different examples of posters to help us understand what features they included to make them good. We decided that posters needed to be colourful, eye-catching, clear and bossy. Once we had finished, we critiqued each other’s posters and checked they had included all the features.

Posters!

11th June 2024Mr Pickering

2P has been learning about the features of posters. We looked at different examples of posters to analyse what we thought they included and what made them good. It was agreed that posters needed to be clear and concise. We then had a time limit to get across a simple message about visiting Doncaster. After the time was up, we critiqued whether we had achieved our objectives.

Great scholarship in 3SG

24th May 2024Mr Schofield

After editing and improving their excellent information texts, the children worked on their reading and spelling skills by accessing classroom resources quietly. A great example of using initiative and leading your own learning – lovely to see!

We are writers

23rd May 2024Mrs Haycock

4H have been working really hard to write about what Fairtrade is and how we can help to support this co-operative organisation. Your vocabulary choices are becoming so much more effective, everyone and I am really proud of how hard you have tried to plan in and include a variety of different fronted adverbials!

I look forward to reading and marking these pieces of writing in preparation for the production of our final product.

3GS are writers!

10th May 2024Mr Schofield

3GS have all worked really hard to produce some fantastic setting descriptions of their own chocolate factories, I was very impressed with the effort and imagination of everyone in the class; you should all be really proud!

Here are a few examples of their beautiful work:

We are getting quicker!

9th May 2024Mrs Haycock

4H have been practising how to find words in a dictionary. It has certainly been interesting and the children have really had to grapple with the process of how to do this. As we made great strides of improvement yesterday, I began racing the children to see who could find the stated word the quickest. Methmi and Poppy were not happy that they were only a couple of seconds slower than I was! Maybe next week they will beat me…

We have had great fun this week writing our own descriptions of different rooms within Mr Wonka’s chocolate factory! Ideas were bubbling and expanded noun phrases were brewing then the creativity was really let loose!
