What’s In Your Bucket?

13th June 2024Amy Wood-Samways

This week we have started case study 3. We read the story Billy’s Bucket, then used our imaginations to decide where our buckets would take us. We had a go at drawing what would be inside our buckets, then some children chose to follow up their own learning by drawing and designing, the outside of their bucket.

6R have been working as Historians

11th June 2024Sarah Robertson

We are learning all about the Egyptians. 6R have been doing a lot of hands on learning this week. We have mummified a tomato, to understand the process of mummification. They have baked bread and learned about the Egyptian diet. We have learned about the pyramids, the pharaohs and how they used the river Nile.

Come to Doncaster!

Today 2L has been learning about the features of posters. We looked at different examples of posters to help us understand what features they included to make them good. We decided that posters needed to be colourful, eye-catching, clear and bossy. Once we had finished, we critiqued each other’s posters and checked they had included all the features.

Solids, liquids and gases

11th June 2024Laura Brown

To kick start our new Science case study, we have been exploring what solids, liquids and gases are. We have found examples around the room, described their properties and explained why they are so different by how their particles are arranged. Super start to the new term! Well done 4B!

Oobleck!

10th June 2024Mr Schofield

Inspired by the Dr Seuss story, we made our own Oobleck to investigate states of matter. We were intrigued to discover that Ooblek is a ‘non-Newtonian fluid’, meaning it behaves like both solid and liquid. We then wrote about our observations. Great fun, well done all!

We are artists

Last week, Year 2 began their artwork case study. The children have started working on their drawing skills, working on line, shape, tone and value. I can’t wait to see how the children’s skills progress.

Well done for a great start everyone!

Well done to Oliver for being our Pride of Plover. Oliver has been following his morning routine and coming to the carpet. The children in our crew were able to say how amazing Oliver has been.

World Ocean Day

6th June 2024Mrs Price

Today we celebrated World Ocean Day. We learnt about the problem with plastics in the sea and what we can do to help the sea creatures. We shared the story “The Undersea Cleaning Spree” and considered why the sea creatures were sad.
