2L Balance Bikes
Children in 2L have been having great fun learning to ride balance bikes with Bikeability. The sessions have helped them build confidence, coordination, and control as they worked on gliding, steering, and stopping safely.Â
The children have loved the challenge, and it’s been wonderful to see their skills grow each week as they become more independent on two wheels.
The Bikeability instructor will be returning in February to work with the children in 2P.
We are scientists!
Exploring shadows has been so much fun this afternoon. We have used light ray torches and opaque objects to solve the following problem: I like to have a long shadow behind me when I am performing on stage. Where do I need to ask my technical lighting team to place my spot lights to make sure my shadow is just how it like it?
I’m not sure who was more excited about the arrival of our new equipment from the Ogden Trust team, the kids or me!
Special shout out to Joe, Zuzanna and Pheobe who realised that it was darker under the tables. They decided to carry out their investigation on the floor and under a table. This meant that they had blocked as much natural light from outside as they possibly could, meaning their torch light and shadows created were more easily seen.

Preparing Presentation of Learning Party
Christmas Gifts Donations – Club Doncaster
If any children, families or members of the community would like to donate any gifts, toys for children 0-16 years old. Please drop them off into the school office.
Thank you George and his mum for your generous donations!
Christmas is all about community spirit and we need your help once again to make our 2025 present drive the biggest yet.
We packed a bus full with presents and hit the city’s roads with Santa behind the wheel. As well as our annual visit to the children’s ward at Doncaster Royal Infirmary, we also dropped in at Foster For Doncaster, Eve Merton Dreams Trust and several other worthy destinations to help spread some festive joy.
This year we are determined to make an even bigger impact and, thanks to our partners Pass Logistics, Santa will not be driving a sleigh or a bus – but an entire lorry.
Every child in Doncaster deserves a present this Christmas and, together with Club Doncaster Foundation and our 100Club partners, we are looking to make that happen.
If you can, please purchase a present for a child from newborn to age 16.
You do not need to wrap the present and you can drop it off at one of dozens of locations around the city which are listed below.
Gifts should be dropped off by Thursday, December 11 to allow us time to wrap and deliver before the big day.
We are also collecting non-perishable food items and hygiene essentials to help support local foodbanks at the time of the year when demand is at its most fierce. These too can be taken to one of our drop-off points, which are listed below.
Help us to provide some comfort in our community this Christmas, and spread a little festive joy while we are at it.
Drop-off points

We can sort sources of light from non-sources of light.
Well done 4H! Most of us can sort sources of light from non-sources of light! I loved watching you sort these cards and listening to your conversations about why you were placing items in the columns you placed them in. We just need to remember that the Moon is NOT a source of light. It simply reflects the sun’s light down to us on planet Earth which is why we can see it in different shapes at different times of the month. If it was its own light source, it would look the same all of the time!

Dictionary Dash
4H have been working really hard to improve the pace at which they can find words in a dictionary and writing their own definitions for subject specific vocabulary. It’s amazing how a little bit of healthy competition changes the dynamics of a task!
One day you will be able to find words quicker than I can. For some of you, that day might not actually be very far away! Well done everyone.

Marvellous mathematical manipulatives
Year 4 are making some marvellous strides with their use of manipulatives to support the building of their knowledge of multiplications facts and their inverse division facts.
I enjoy teaching this maths groups so much. They really do challenge themselves and support each other at the same time!
Well done every one…you all make me so proud and happy to be your teacher!
