Faith Day in Y2
In Year 2 today we learned about Judaism. The children found out about the Jewish Sabbath day called the Shabbat. The children enjoyed learning about a new religion and became experts in Jewish prayer at home.
Happy Easter 1M
We had a lovely afternoon in Plover Praise – completing an Easter hunt, Easter cards and then celebrated Summers birthday with a little tea party!
Have a nice half term holiday 1M crew and thank you parents for all your support and cooperation this term!

Beautiful Work This Week
Sign Language Week at Green Top
Last week was Sign Language week in the UK – so all the students at Green Top have made this video, singing and signing the song ‘True Colours’ as part of the celebration!
‘If We Plant Trees…’ – Legacy @ NJS
As part of their awesome POLs this week, every single Year 3 and 4 child has planted a tree at Norton Junior School, with support from Murphy’s and their Roots Programme.
They also celebrated their product from last term (more on this next time!) and unveiled their awesome digital artwork, made from images of recycling – this will be on display in school after the Easter break!
Plover’s Eco Garden!
KS1 at Plover have just finished their Expedition ‘The Blue Planet’. Their final product has provided a lasting legacy for the community – a lovely eco garden that will develop across future Expeditions to provide a range of habitats and food sources for a variety of insects, birds and mammals.
Students dedicated the trees to community heroes who have helped to improve the lives of people across Intake and Doncaster at their POL yesterday – including Mrs Ogle and Dame Rosie Winterton!
Highlights from KS1 and LKS2’s COL @ Green Top
On Friday, KS1 and LKS2 at Green Top celebrated their learning for their two Expeditions – ‘The Blue Planet’ and ‘There Is No Planet B’
The celebration included an interactive art gallery, a visit from Reptile Rendezvous and showcasing awesome family learning.

Danum Read Aloud
Last night I had the privilege of supporting Johnny (year 5) at the Danum Read Aloud Competition held at the Danum Art Gallery and Museum.
Johnny performed his piece with real confidence and and lovely expression, despite recovering from a sore throat!
The competition was tough and the prize was won by a girl from another school, but Johnny remained upbeat and positive – a real credit to our school!
Well done Johnny, we couldn’t have been prouder of you!
