We are historians

Year 5 had a visit from Doncaster Museum to talk about the railway in Doncaster and how influential it was. We had a great time looking at artefacts and learning about all the benefits the railway brought to Doncaster.

We are artists

Year 5 have been studying the drawing style of Quentin Blake for our expedition. We have used this style to draw our trains ready for our final product.

We enjoyed walking to the shops today to buy the ingredients we need to make our cakes, ready for celebration.

Museum Visit

What a superb visit from Doncaster Museum this morning! The children got so much from this well planned out session from the museum, who had tailored the workshop exactly to our guiding question and to the learning targets we have been focusing on this term. We can’t say thank you enough for this! The children had lots of objects that would have been found on a train to explore – what a treat when we usually aren’t allowed to touch very old and precious objects! I personally took a shine to the butter stamp. I wonder what your favourite item was? It was fascinating to gain such an insight into how the collection at Doncaster Museum was discovered and consider what impact the rail industry had on Doncaster, both on the town and their people. (Pictures to follow – I am having some trouble with getting them onto the blog! I am so sorry!) #LovePlover

Making decorations

We have had a busy afternoon making decorations for the Christmas trees in the school entrance. We mixed cornflour and glue, rolled out the dough and made trees and stars.

Tomorrow we will use our fine motor skills again to thread and tie.

More amazing home learning!

Shayen keeps amazing me with his home learning. He arrived yesterday with a traditional Viking game (a bit like chess), all made by hand. Fortunately it includes the instructions so we know how to play!

Well done Shayen!!
