Year 5 Egyptian Day!

26th April 2024Sarah Walton

Year 5 had an awesome day today, starting with an extremely fun and informative workshop. The children were engaged and completely immersed in their learning. After lunch followed some Egyptian dancing and games, along with making healthy fruit kebabs. The Year 5 team were delighted to also receive an email from the ladies who delivered the workshop. This was full of praise for our children and school, bringing a lovely end to a perfect day! Well done Crew Year 5!!!

CLASS 15 – Egyptian Excellence

26th April 2024Claire Dutton

Class 15 and the rest of Year 5 have all enjoyed an amazing Egyptian-themed day. We started by enjoying a very informative presentation by the ladies from Heritage Doncaster who were blown away, not only by our beautiful behaviour but our fantastic prior-knowledge too! To say I was super proud would be an understatement so a huge well done to everybody. Then we took part in a number of different exploratory activities that allowed us to get hands-on with some very realistic replica artefacts.

The rest of our morning was spent digesting all of our new learning with some chilled Ancient Egyptian music and artwork. In the afternoon, we reflected on our workshop experience before heading to the hall for a whole year group fun session. We danced like an Egyptian, played musical Egyptian statues and squeezed in a game of Egyptian-themed corners. To end the day, we made links with the healthy eating theme of our expedition and enjoyed a fruit kebab reward … very YUMMY MUMMY!

A huge shout out to all of the children – I am so proud of you all and thank you for such an enjoyable day! I would also like to say a big thank you for those who could dress up – you all looked fantastic :). Please keep your costumes safe as we will ask you to use them again for our final product and celebration events at the end of the term.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend and can’t wait to see how much more learning lies in store for us all next week.

KS1 visit to the Pentecostal Church

26th April 2024Jayne Rodgers

We have spent a very exciting morning visiting the Pentecostal Church where we were treated to a live reading from a real life Cbeebies television star of one of her books. We sang songs and played games and generally had a wonderful time. The children behaved beautifully both on the walk to and from the Church and while listening to the story and we are all very, very proud of you.

A huge thanks to Pastor Kevin for inviting us.

Class 15’s very questionable jam sandwiches!

25th April 2024Claire Dutton

In English, Year 5 have been learning all about the importance of clear and precise instruction writing. Unfortunately this had to come at the expense of some very undesirable-looking jam sandwiches … check out our pictures below. Fortunately, the children were able to edit their instructions enough to enjoy a much more normal jam sandwich – or two! It’s amazing how quickly we can learn when a tasty treat is involved 🙂
