LKS2’s Roman Quest Day

1st September 2025Mrs Graves

We have had a great day hooking into our new expedition ‘Coming to Doncaster: why then, why now?’

It was lovely to see all the imaginative Roman costumes and I was so proud to watch the crews working together to crack the puzzles and complete the quest. Well done Crew Graves for breaking the code and opening the treasure chest.

Through our Quest Day, we have learnt facts about the Romans in Britain, used our problem solving skills and shown great teamwork and cooperation.

We are excited to continue our learning this term.

We are quest survivors!

1st September 2025Mrs Haycock

Years 3 and 4 have had a wonderful time in their crews today as we launched our new expedition: Coming to Doncaster: Why then and why now?

They were faced with a range of Roman challenges, from an archeological dig to solving maths questions using Roman numerals. Completion of these challenges proved them worthy of unlocking the chest and joining a side of their choice – the Roman army or a Celtic tribe…

4H have compassion!

1st September 2025Mrs Haycock

4H have been carrying out simple acts of kindness and asking others to pay this kindness forward. Over the last few days, ‘Pay it Forward’ tickets have been passed around school between both pupils and teachers within the Year 3/4 phase. When a chain of four kind acts had been carried out, the tickets were returned to our basket of kindness.

The baby egg challenge proved to be a great hit! Designing our baby eggs; dressing them and naming them was much more important to the children than I anticipated. They cared for their eggs so well – taking them everywhere with them and putting them down for a nap over lunchtime. Thankfully there was only one casualty – and that was only a very small crack.

The most compassionate moment of the day (in my eyes) was towards the end of the day whilst watching a video about kindness on the screen. Joe looked at his egg and a horrified expression crossed his face! His baby egg couldn’t see the screen so he turned his egg to ‘face’ it!

Keep paying it forward folks – compassion is a wonderful trait to have!

Our first day together in F2BP

1st September 2025Rebecca Bubb

What a beautiful day we have had together. We learned our first letter, m’. In maths, we learned that we can subitise. This means we can say what we can see and not need to count groups of objects to three. We also had our first PE lesson. We learned the rules in PE to keep us safe and how to move around the space without banging into each other. WHAT A DAY! We all agree- your children are amazing and we are so happy to have such a wonderful class of children.

3V were courageous!

1st September 2025Cody Vines

Last week we focussed on character traits! On Tuesday our focus was courage so Nick the bug man from Project Wild came in. We especially loved Charlie the tarantula but we also met Humphrey the snake and a pair of millepedes. Well done 3V you were awesome!

Miss Vines.

A polite reminder Y5&6 VR workshop payments are due plus Y6 crucial crew visit payments.

31st August 2025Miss Blackham

We are politely reminding parents in Year 5&6 the above activities/trip require payments. If we do not receive enough payments, we will be at risk of cancelling them. We try our best to keep costs as low as possible and really appreciate your support to allow us to offer these opportunities for your children.

The VR workshop is a fantastic and immersive experience which will give your children a real insight into what it would be like in numerous rainforests around the world. This information really supports our first case study in our current expedition.

Crucial crew is also another fantastic experience which supports our Year 6’s in life lessons, safety in and around the community, vital life-saving information linked to water safety, fire safety, how to stay safe online and much more.

We try to keep the costs of our trips as low as possible but we currently only have 30% of the payments needed to run both of these events.

Thank you for your continued support
