As part of our settling in week, we have been learning about how we grow and change. We have looked at pictures of ourselves as a baby, and then Skylaās mum and dad very kindly brought her baby sister to visit us. We asked lots of questions to find out things such as how babies move and what they eat.

As part of hook week. Year 5 immersed themselves into our DT case study and took part in a ready steady cook challenge afternoon. They were given a handful of ingredients and they had to choose what dish to make. They adapted really well to their limited ingredients and were very creative with their dishes and they demonstrated great team work!
Today in 2L , the children made themselves an extra pair of listening ears and we went on a listening walk to find out what we could hear in school. We crept around and heard all sorts of sounds including cutlery clattering in the hall, birds tweeting outside, doors banging and the jazzy music coming from Y6. The children were really quiet and were shocked by what they could hear when they really tried to concentrate.
We are going to turn these noises into expanded noun phrases and write our very our sound poem. Weāll make sure to blog our final work.
As part of our immersion into the new expedition, today we critiqued a range of chocolates and chocolate packaging. It was great to hear your marvellous adjectives and ideas on why packaging was designed in particular ways.
Our day two hook was an active walk through Intake, our local community. We explored some of Intakes landmarks and found out some historic information about Danum Secondary School, Sandall Beat Woods, Doncaster Racecourse and Doncaster Deaf Trust. Thank you to the parent helpers for your support and well done to all of the children who walked, talked, asked and answered lots of questions – linking to our previous expeditions as well as our current expedition!
The children really enjoyed their first day back at school and looked amazing in their outfits from the past. We used this to explore vocabulary about the past, present and future and compared sources of information to spot similarities and differences.
We also used our expert visitor who used a drone to show us parts of Doncaster as seen from the air! It was really exciting to get a new perspective on our community.
We are all ready to get stuck into our new expedition!

It was marvellous seeing the children dressed in such smart and old fashioned clothes. We enjoyed a crew challenge. Geoff the expert showed us some aerial view photos of Intake and Doncaster. We learnt about some history of Doncaster and explored a time capsule and artefacts found within Plover! #LovePlover
