Y3/4 Celebration of Learning

14th November 2023Rebecca Knowles

Year 3/4 will celebrate their expedition ‘Ancient Innovators: What did the Romans do for Doncaster?’ on Thursday 7th December between 2pm and 3pm.

We would like to invite Y3/4 parents to a coffee afternoon in the hall where you can drop in between the times of 2pm and 3pm to sit with your child and look through all of their learning on the Romans! We will also launch our website all about the Romans which the children have been working hard on for their expedition product!

More details will follow but we look forward to celebrating our learning with you soon!

Our children have spent the week leading up to Armistice day learning about the reason we wear the red poppy and have produced these stunning examples to display in our corridors.

A beautiful and fitting tribute to the fallen.

Crew Knowles: Fronted Adverbials

6th November 2023Rebecca Knowles

We’ve been learning all about fronted adverbials in our English lessons and have focused on time, place and manner adverbials. We’re really starting to get the hang of them and identify whether the adverbial is telling us where, when or how something happened!

6th November 2023Rebecca Barnett

Anti-Bullying Week 2023 will take place from Monday 13th – Friday 17th November. The theme is Make A Noise About Bullying.

This week, your crew councillor will be leading a crew session where you can make some noise. What can you do to make a noise? Look out for our school video!

On Friday 17th November, we will be supporting Children in Need with a non-uniform day for a suggested donation of £1. Crew Council have voted to ‘wear something that makes you smile.’

You could wear your favourite jumper, dress up as your favourite character or just come in your pyjamas.

We will also be having a bake sale where you can buy a bun for 50p. If you would like to donate any buns, please bring them to the office.

Times Tables Rock Stars Challenge!

5th November 2023Chris Mumby

As part of our commitment to make maths exciting and high profile in our school, we are taking part in a friendly competition involving schools in England. The competition runs from 07:30 GMT Tuesday 14th November 2023 to 19:30 GMT Thursday 16th November 2023. It’s all done online via play.ttrockstars.com.

Children can play in any game mode with every correct answer to a multiplication or division question, earning themselves, their class and the school a point. The Times Tables Rock Stars platform will calculate the class average (the number of correct answers per pupil in the class who play during the competition hours, subject to a daily 60-minute limit (see below). Winning classes in the school and in the competition as a whole will be the ones with the highest average.

To support player wellbeing, there is a daily time limit of 60-minutes per player. In other words, each player can earn competition points for up to 60-minutes between 07:30 GMT and 19:30 GMT on 07:30 GMT Tuesday 14th November 2023 to 19:30 GMT Thursday 16th November 2023. Once the player goes beyond 60-minutes of play on that day, they will still earn coins but will no longer earn points towards the competition.

Which Crew will be victorious? Who will rock their way to glory? Only time will tell…….
