Year 4 – MTC important information

Year 4 parents / carers, please read the information regarding the Multiplication Tables Check which the children will sit in June.

We are working really hard on times tables in school and will continue to do so throughout in the run up to the MTC.

You can help at home by encouraging your child to use their TTRockstars account regularly. The ‘Soundcheck’ mode is particularly useful to support them with their practice as this is similar to the official MTC layout.

Information about the presentation of learning for years 1, 2, 3 and 4

*** Friday 22nd March 2024 ***

Years 1, 2, 3 and 4 will be holding an art gallery in school on Friday 22nd March. We will have their art work ready to share with you on display in frames. This is a fantastic experience for the children to see and share their art work in this kind of setting.

Key stage 1

Key stage 1 will have their art work set up in their classrooms and also have time slots to have a workshop with reptile rendezvous and their animal guests.

The time slots are as follows:

You are welcome to come and celebrate the children’s work with them at any time between 4 and 5 but if you are around for your child’s class time slot with reptile rendezvous, then this would be fantastic too!

Year 3 and 4

Year 3 and 4 will have their art work in the hall set up in an exhibition ready for you to view anytime between 4 and 5pm. There is also the opportunity to use the green screen and have photos taken with polar bear backgrounds.

Every visitor

There will be canapes made by Michael, in the hall for all guests to enjoy. We really hope to see as many parents and children as possible at our first ever Green Top Art Exhibition. The children’s art work will be available to buy on the night (as well as any pre-orders that have been made) at a cost of £10. Thank you as always for your support with the children and their education…they have all worked extremely hard to produce good quality art work and can’t wait to share it with you!

Spectacular Spoons!

I can’t believe the amount of wonderful character spoons we had fetched into school as part of our World Book Day competition! The creativity and effort that has gone into each and every one is amazing!

The Learning Council judged the spoons this morning but it was such a hard choice that we have ended up with 8 winners instead of 4!

Watch this space to see the winning spoons tomorrow …

Here are just some of the fabulous characters!

Girls football tournament!

Wow! What a massive well done to the girls who participated in the football tournament over at XP as part of our Trust competitions. We did such a great job that we scored plenty of goals, didn’t concede and ended up winning the tournament overall.

The best thing was seeing the enjoyment of girls who have played together and those making their way into such a great game. Keep your eyes posted for more photos of the tournament from Mr Ambler!

A massive well done to the girls for being such super stars and to the adults for taking you to the tournament! Rest up and have a great weekend 🙂

Year 1/2 and 3/4 presentation of learning reminder!

Don’t forget that our KS1 and Y3/4 presentation of learning takes place on Friday 22nd March 4pm – 5pm. This is a combined event so if you have children in both phases, you can celebrate them both at the same time!

We have been so impressed by the children’s art work and can’t wait to share their work with you in our special gallery!

We really hope you can join us in this exciting collaborative celebration!

If you have any questions, please speak to your child’s class teacher.

Class 12 – Yorkshire Wildlife Park 🦁

What an amazing day we have had at YWP! We were able to see a range of animals including lions, giraffes, wallabies and of course the polar bears! We also had a fantastic workshop and built on our knowledge of polar bears, looking at how they are adapted to survive in the wild as well as what YWP are doing to help the polar bears that are here in Doncaster!
