Sharing our Stories
In Class Five we went on some fieldwork this week to Doncaster Museum and Art Gallery to help us answer our guiding question, Diverse Doncaster – Where do I belong?
Back in school we wrote about our experiences handling artefacts, taking part in a workshop and exploring the museum. We did a great job confidently sharing our work with children in other classes.
Seaside holidays in the past
Diverse Doncaster Fieldwork
We have had an absolutely fantastic day exploring the history of Doncaster. The children took part in a workshop studying artwork, handling artefacts and asking expert questions.
The children took lots away to help them with their expedition – Diverse Doncaster – Where do I belong?
They all behaved impeccably. They were kind and considerate to other members of the public – several people commented on how well they conducted themselves. All of the grown ups were very proud to enjoy the day with your children.
I’ve put together a video of photographs from our day – I hope you enjoy them.

Better World Day 2022
We will be celebrating Better World Day on Thursday 5th May (a day early). We are asking children to come into school wearing something blue or yellow. We are asking for voluntary contributions of 50p to raise money to send funds directly into Ukraine to support those in need. We will be talking about Better World Day in crew this week too.
Thank you all for your support,

Fieldwork at Danum Museum and Art Gallery
Today year 2 visited the Danum Museum and Gallery to learn all about the history of Doncaster as part of our summer term expedition.
We explored the museum and gallery in the morning. In the afternoon we took part in a workshop all about Doncaster through different time periods.
The children conducted themselves impeccably and even members of the public commented on their maturity.
Well done class 6, I am very proud of you all.
Being active in Class 3
In crew this week we have been discussing the importance of keeping active and the effect it has on our well being. We thought about some of the activities we could do that would be fun, got moving on the playground and finally made pledges to take part in a range of fun and healthy activities this week.
We have also had great fun in P.E starting our new cheerleading unit and learning all the different shapes we will be able to put into our dances. Some of us are working extra hard to prepare for a competition at Campsmount later this term.
Seaside Artwork in Nursery
We have been experimenting with watercolours and fine brushes and combining different techniques to create our beautiful seaside artwork.
Collaboration
I’ve been blown away with the collaboration in class five this morning. We’ve been busy sorting locations based on their human and physical features – great job!
