Hansel and Gretel workshop

17th November 2025Amy Woods

Wow, what an amazing morning we have had today! We were so lucky to have Kerry and Tash come in from CAST Theatre, to teach us the story of Hansel and Gretel, through drama. The children enjoyed getting into the roles of the different characters and exploring props. Once we had finished we went back to the create doughnuts, for the gingerbread house flooring, which we will see in CAST theatre when we go to visit. We are so excited to go and work with Kerry and Tash again at CAST theatre in a couple of weeks, and watch the performance of Hansel and Gretel.
Mrs Williams was so proud of how well everyone participated in this workshop, and the great respect and integrity all children showed towards our visitors. Well done nursery!

Thank you, Meltem!

Thank you to our guest speaker, Meltem Avcil who has so kindly offered her time to speak to our children about her childhood story. What an inspiration you are to so many! Speaking to you in person has really helped the children to understand why people still come to Doncaster now.

We hope to see you again, Meltem! Thank you for your time. Safe journey home.

We are writers!

After spending the last few weeks finding out why the Romans lived in what is now known as Doncaster, we are now able to write non-chronological reports about our learning…

We are rocking those Roman numerals!

10th November 2025Mrs Haycock

You see lollipop sticks, I see a building opportunity! Why just look at Roman numerals when we are learning about them when we can use lollipop sticks to build them instead? With a little bit of collaboration and a sprinkle of competitive spirit, time quite literally flew by whilst we were having fun. Erm, I mean learning! Excellent engagement and progress from everyone…well done folks!

Being kind-Anti bullying week

10th November 2025Mrs Price

We had a very busy day today. We learnt about why we were wearing odd socks and what it means to be kind in crew. We thought about what kindness means and when people aren’t kind. We learnt the word bullying and what we want to see, hear and do instead. We want to make the world a nicer place to live in. In expedition we learnt about Remembrance Day and made a poppy wreath.
