Earlier this week, year 3 enjoyed dressing up as characters from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Listening Walk
Today in 2L , the children made themselves an extra pair of listening ears and we went on a listening walk to find out what we could hear in school. We crept around and heard all sorts of sounds including cutlery clattering in the hall, birds tweeting outside, doors banging and the jazzy music coming from Y6. The children were really quiet and were shocked by what they could hear when they really tried to concentrate.
We are going to turn these noises into expanded noun phrases and write our very our sound poem. We’ll make sure to blog our final work.
Where is the treasure?
The children were hooked into their new expedition today by going on a treasure hunt. Inside the treasure box were clues to their new expedition about the seaside.

Critiquing chocolates and packaging
As part of our immersion into the new expedition, today we critiqued a range of chocolates and chocolate packaging. It was great to hear your marvellous adjectives and ideas on why packaging was designed in particular ways.
1M Fieldwork Hook around Intake
Our day two hook was an active walk through Intake, our local community. We explored some of Intakes landmarks and found out some historic information about Danum Secondary School, Sandall Beat Woods, Doncaster Racecourse and Doncaster Deaf Trust. Thank you to the parent helpers for your support and well done to all of the children who walked, talked, asked and answered lots of questions – linking to our previous expeditions as well as our current expedition!
We’re looking for Cleaners and a Cleaner in Charge at XP Doncaster!
Back to the Past!
The children really enjoyed their first day back at school and looked amazing in their outfits from the past. We used this to explore vocabulary about the past, present and future and compared sources of information to spot similarities and differences.
We also used our expert visitor who used a drone to show us parts of Doncaster as seen from the air! It was really exciting to get a new perspective on our community.
We are all ready to get stuck into our new expedition!

Plover’s Past Hook Day
It was marvellous seeing the children dressed in such smart and old fashioned clothes. We enjoyed a crew challenge. Geoff the expert showed us some aerial view photos of Intake and Doncaster. We learnt about some history of Doncaster and explored a time capsule and artefacts found within Plover! #LovePlover
Creative, Kind and Generous
A huge, huge appreciation and thank you from 1M, Plover school and Mrs Ogle for Maria! We were all so touched at the generous £110 donation Maria has raised from auctioning off her beautiful art work from last expedition, for school funds towards helping animals at our school! #LovePlover
Chocolate factory dress-up day!
Year 3 took part in a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory themed dress up day to launch our new expedition: ‘From Bean to bar, what’s the cost of a bar of chocolate?’ You all looked amazing, fabulous effort!
