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 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!

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.
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

Our character trait of the day was ‘Integrity’. We explored what the word could mean and what it would look like. We then went on a story hunt around the playground, where we followed clues to discover the next text. When we found it, we read the extract and discussed whether the character had integrity and what happened when they did or didn’t tell the truth.
We then looked at the poem, ‘I do what’s right’ and practised reading it. We talked about how it showed integrity. We decided to turn our poem into a rap and recorded the video. A great attempt after such a short practice!
