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
In the Summer of 2024, Y1 and Y2 pupils will be studying Diverse Doncaster, a cross-curricular expedition looking to answer the guiding question ‘Where do I belong?’
On Monday 15th April, we will be having an ‘Old Fashioned’ clothes from the past dress up day. The purpose behind the day is to promote a love for our new expedition.
Please do not feel any pressure to go out and spend any money on new outfits. That is not what we are trying to do. Maybe you could borrow some items from a friend or old person, or even have a go at reusing and making clothes from old sheets. Be creative! The costume can be something very simple and we have attached some example pictures below to help:
Thank you for your ongoing support and cooperation.
Today we have learnt about the Easter story, and why we celebrate Easter with chocolate eggs. We learnt some key words such as; Jesus, tomb, cross, god and last supper.
5L were great historians today. They acted as children working 12 hour shifts in factories and then debated over whether they thought this was an acceptable thing for children to do at such a young age.
I could not be prouder of Bobby-Jack who went home last night and wanted to continue his expeditionary learning at home. He has produced the most beautiful home learning! A total star! 10 crew coins Bobs!
6B have been researching a range of engineers who were influential in relation to Doncasterās rail heritage. Ask your children to tell you a fact about Sir Nigel Gresely and George Stephenson!
Here is a link to the digital map we have produced to reflect our community. It contains links to biographies and fact splats written by the children and about where some people in our community come from and what the Romans did for Doncaster.
We are hoping to have a physical sign positioned at the entrance to school soon.
