Fruit Tasting

In expedition this afternoon we were comparing two different fruits. I’ve never seen so much excitement over a watermelon before! We learned that fruits have seeds and vegetables grow from roots and have leaves. Some of the language the children used to describe the pineapple and watermelon were “tangy, sweet, sour, soft, juicy, yummy”. #LovePlover

Rock Steady!

KS1 were visited by Tim from RockSteady today. He showed us all of the exciting instruments we can learn if we sign up to some music lessons. We drummed along, sang and played our air guitars! We had a great time and even made our own band by the end of the session. We had great fun and we’re really keen to start learning instruments. You never know, we could be having our own performances by the end of the year! Please check out the letter for details!

Our expert community visitor!

As part of developing our wider community crew, Laura from Doncaster Council came to launch an exciting project with our Year 6 pupils with the intention to make Doncaster a better place. They were so enthusiastic when sharing their ideas and articulating why their community is important to them. I can’t wait to see what comes of this exciting opportunity!
