Unfortunately, Mr Kershaw was unexpectedly called away this afternoon so we were unable to take part in the exciting activity he had planned for us. Despite this we still enjoyed our afternoon playing on the trim-trail and the astro-turf, taking part in running games and listening to a story in the camp tents…plus Mr Kershaw has promised us another outdoor session next week to make up for today!
Thanks Mr Kershaw. We’re already looking forward to it.
To hook our children into our new expedition we will be having a Medieval dress up day Friday 6th September. We invite children to dress up for a special day of medieval fun! If your child does not have an outfit please do not worry! They can wear their own party clothes and we will ensure they make some accessories to compliment their outfit (crowns fit for a king/queen/prince/princess etc).
We can’t wait to see you all dressed up!
Example costumes – King, Queen, Prince, Princess, Knight, Dragon
For the first week in our new class we are trying to answer the guiding question, ‘ How does what I do impact others?’. We began to learn a song that showed us how some of our actions are hurting our world. We then thought of some changes we can make to help our world feel better. After lunch we went on a litter hunt in our playground, then counted and categorised what we had collected and made a bar chart to show our findings. We also realised that all the litter we collected can be recycled in some way. Why not ask your child to explain? I’m so proud of them all for the way they have settled into their new class and after the work they have produced today, I’m so excited for the year ahead.
See you tomorrow, Superstars!

What a great time it has been getting to work with our new Year 2s. We have worked on our understanding of emotions, how our body can feel in that situation and watched parts of Inside Out to understand emotions further.
We then created our own emotion monsters! It has been so much fun getting to know you all and I can’t wait to be your teacher next year! 🙂
On Monday 8th July Year 1 children would like to invite their grown-ups to their presentation of learning for our Expedition ‘Diverse Doncaster – Where do I belong?’. The hall will be open from 8:30am for grown-up to get a hot drink whilst the children are registered in their classes. Children will then come to the hall to share their learning with you. The children cannot wait for you to see all their hard work!
We have spent a lovely playtime this morning getting to know our new phase partners in the KS1 playground. We made lots of new friends and had a great time with our older brothers and sisters. We can’t wait to make the move permanent!
We had lots of fun today getting in touch with our creative sides by becoming authors. We looked at some pictures and generated ideas using the ‘back to back, face to face’ protocol, then independently wrote about a picture of our choice. Even Miss Rodgers took part!
Well done to all of the children who took part today! You were all fantastic and I’m sure everyone watching was extremely proud too!
Thanks to all of our parents and carers that came today too and supported our school and children. We hope you enjoyed it just as much!
Crew Rodgers enjoyed a story time crew session this morning at the Book Fayre. We listened to a book called Dogs Don’t Dance by Gemma Atkinson and inspected all the books and stationary that is on sale. We had a lovely time!
