Tudor dress up day reminder for Year 5&6 pupils- Tuesday 6th January

3rd January 2026Miss Blackham

A polite reminder about our upcoming dress up day which is on Tuesday 6th January. We are asking pupils to dress as someone/ in something resembling Tudor times. This was sent out as a letter in November and added to our parent overview before Christmas.

Please do not feel you have to buy a costume, there are lots of examples online. Your child may want to come dressed in dark colours with faceprint resembling coal/dirt to come as a poor person in Tudor times. They could also dress as maids/servants. Some children have drawn a Tudor rose over the holidays and are sticking this to a plain t-shirt.

We are really looking forward to this upcoming expedition and can’t wait for all the engaging lessons we have planned. Any questions, please do contact me- [email protected]

I am working hard

10th November 2025Mrs Haycock

This young man has been working hard at home to replicate what he has made in school. By doing this he has been able to further improve his craftsmanship and the quality of work he has produced is fantastic. Well done!

We are courageous!

10th November 2025Mrs Haycock

Well done to everyone who stood in front of the class and spoke about the information they had collated about the Romans and how they founded Doncaster – then known as Danum. It takes a lot of courage to speak to a large group of children, so you really do need to be proud of yourself if you have been able to be brave enough to do this!

Keep being courageous 4H!

We can place events on a timeline!

10th November 2025Mrs Haycock

We have successfully worked in teams to place many of the key events of the growth of the Roman Empire on a timeline. We found it really exciting when we were able to provide written feedback for our peers too.

Poppies for Peace

10th November 2025Rebecca Bubb

Today, we learned about why we have poppies. We watched a video about soldiers and how they fought so that we have peace in our country. Now when we see poppies, we can smile and thank the soldiers for peace-Poppies for Peace! We made our own poppie and put it together to make a wreath. We will take our wreath to our special Remembrance Assembly, tomorrow.

Home Learning

6th October 2025Stuart Longley

We have seen some amazing Great Fire of London home learning come in this term.

We love seeing and sharing these in class. Well done to everyone who has completed home learning this term.

We are Historians.

25th September 2025Mr Pickering

2P have been History detectives as we explored the events of the Great Fire of London. We pieced together evidence to see if we could work out who or what was to blame for the fire starting and spreading. We discussed the evidence from different sources and concluded that it was the result of several factors, including the weather, Thomas Farriner, the Lord Mayor of London, and the way houses were built. We followed that up by looking at evidence from different artefacts that archaeologists have discovered, along with diary evidence from Samuel Pepys, to work out what we could learn about London in 1666. We are getting really good at identifying the cause and effects of events at the time!

Family Learning Fun!

4th September 2025Mrs Haycock

What a busy morning! Thank you to all of our parents who joined us this morning to hook your children into their new expedition. Special shout out to Sienna’s mum who helped us to build our Roman centurions. They were much trickier for children’s small fingers to manipulate and build than I had anticipated. Everyone had so much fun and had learnt so much that moans and groans could be heard when it was time to pack away – so we didn’t – we extended the session instead. I hope you had a great day 4H, I know Miss Carter loved her morning with you and I have thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon too!

Roman expert visitor!

4th September 2025Mrs Haycock

Thank you Claire from Want2B workshops. We had a fantastic experience with you yesterday. Our favourite activity was using the role play shields to march in line as Roman soldiers using the correct Latin terms and stereotypical Roman army formations.

Looking at the genuine Roman artefacts was really interesting. Although, it felt weird to know we were holding buttons from the uniforms of actual Roman soldiers. Building aqueducts was great fun too. This really challenged many of us, so we had to be courageous to give the task a go and resilient when things went a little wrong and our aqueducts collapsed.

Special shout out to Zara who was the first to successfully build her aqueduct! You superstar, well done!

What an amazing day!
