Year 2 had a visit from Geoff, from the XP Communications team. He brought in his drone and demonstrated how the drone was flown and how it worked. This was a hook for our Geography learning, which begins with understanding what a bird’s-eye view is and how it is used for maps. Geoff got some footage and shared how far we could see from the drone up in the sky.

During Hook Week, 2P carried out different challenges that compared Doncaster with Mexico. We started with a music battle where we compared artists from Doncaster with Mexican artists. We then carried out a food challenge where we sampled different typical foods from each country. There were some interesting flavours, but liquorice, celery and chillis definitely received interesting reactions! Our final battle was with language, where we looked at how we can use some English words to work out the meaning of Spanish words and then we learnt some basic Spanish greetings.
Our final activity was to produce a piece of pointillism artwork, with a Mexican theme, inspired by the story and work of Frieda Kahlo. Great work 2P!

We will be hosting a London meeting next half term (March- date TBC). We appreciate some people may have changed their minds and no longer want their place. If this is the case, please let me know ASAP as we have a large waiting list.
Thank you for your continued support.

Plover’s first Rockathon was awesome! Well done to everyone who smashed out answers to so many times tables questions. You all looked pretty fabulous too!
Keep working hard on those times tables up to 12 x 12 at home as well as at school please Year 4. It’s not long until your official multiplication times tables check.

Shout out to Alec and Raegan who have both designed and made their own chocolate as home learning! It really was delicious boys, so thank you for sharing. Should anyone else wish to make thier own chocolate bars, I’d be more than happy to taste test them for you!
Well done boys!

Year 4 were visited by Harry – our expert scientist – who kindly launched the science topic that we will be studying during this expedition. He introduced the children to states of matter: solids, liquids and gases. We were mesmerised by the video of experiments he prepared for us in his lab at university and have been really inspired by him. When he inflated a balloon right in front of us, without blowing it up in the normal way, gasps were heard from all. I wonder if your children can tell you how Harry did this?
Thank you Harry!
