What a fabulous start to the new half term!  All children have returned from the half term break with great enthusiasm for their learning and have produced some phenomenal work across a range of subjects in a short period of time.  They cannot wait to see their hard work in its final form, which I am sure they would be more than happy to tell you all about.

However, please encourage your child to use their Rockstar Times Tables account; to practise their spellings; and to read to a parent, older sibling or other trusted adult as regularly possible…those dreaded SATs are on the horizon and all of these elements will help your child to prepare for them as best they can.

Commencing after half term, members of Y6 will become playground prefects.  This is where children will be allocated specific responsibilities in or order to ensure that play times are safe, fun and inclusive for all children.

Please remember to read with your child at home, practice their spellings and times tables with them and remind them to complete some home learning.

Thank you for your support.

Your child will be coming home tonight with a free Roald Dahl book which has been provided by Doncaster library.  We cannot thank them enough for this generous donation to our school.  All children were really grateful and I hope they enjoy reading their books at home or in school.

Tomorrow,  Tuesday 22nd October, is our Halloween Disco.  Please come along – it is up to you if you wish to come in fancy dress or not.  Children can pay their entrance fee of £1 on the door as they arrive and bring extra cash for sweets and drinks.  Be mindful about how your child will be getting home afterwards – please provide your child with a signed, handwritten note if you wish them to walk home alone afterwards.

6H and 6B have been working really hard to support each other in their maths learning today. It was so nice to see all pupils working together and sharing their thoughts and ideas in order to be successful.

Well done all!

There have been so many times where I have been able to say WOWEE today.  All pupils have been outstanding all day long.  However, 2 of these amazing pupils have blown me away.  Special mentions to Leland Cooley and Kyren Milner.  I have barely recognised the two young men in front of me today – they have been so hard working, helpful and polite.  Keep being amazing boys!

P.S.  The rest of you are absolutely fabulous too! 🙂

Once again, Years 5 & 6 have been challenging themselves to become better spellers.  Please support your child with the learning of the words they have been bringing home.

Congratulations to this week’s strongest spellers who are:

Luca, Leland, Dominik and Aisha – perfect scores all round from these pupils.  Well done.
