F1 have created and explored poppies in different ways today, to remember our fallen soldiers. We spoke about why we celebrate Remembrance Day. The children made me really proud when they all stayed quiet to show their respects during the two minutes silence!
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.
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…
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!
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.
Well done Willow for getting our first pride of plover of the year! You have become so much more confident leaving your mummy and speaking to familiar adults in school. You always work hard on your adult directed tasks and have shown that you can join in with signing our Christmas nativity songs.
Well done to Freyah and Kai for getting the Pride of Plover this week. They have impressed the grown-ups with how hard they have worked and how kind they have been. We are proud of them.
This week F1 have been learning all about hedgehogs. We used a variety of different materials to create our own hedgehogs including paint, glue/leaves and clay. There has been some absolutely beautiful artwork, all the children have worked so hard!
Today we made clay creatures. Some children made hedgehogs and some made owls. They used different media and tools. I was very impressed with what they made.
This half term, we’re delighted to celebrate two amazing members of 5L who have won the Half-TermlyPresentation Award for their fantastic improvement in handwriting , George and Casey!
Over the past few weeks, both children have shown real determination to make their writing neater, clearer, and more consistent. Their hard work and focus have truly paid off, and their books are a joy to read. From careful joins to beautifully formed letters, George and Casey have demonstrated the character trait of craftsmanship and quality – taking pride in their work, paying attention to detail, and striving to produce their very best every time.
Well done, George and Casey – I’m so proud of your progress, perseverance, and commitment to excellence. Keep up the brilliant effort!
