A shout out this week to our crew member, Charlotte who has recently achieved her 100m swimming certificate outside of school. A huge well done, Charlotte – we are all so proud of you!
Class 10 Shout Out
Category : Mrs Dutton’s Class
Year 3 | WW2 Expert
What a pleasure it was for the children in Year 3 today as they were able to listen to our special guest Mick from Doncaster’s Victoria Cross Trust, who was kind enough to come in and talk to the children all about the Second World War.
We were able to learn about a local hero who received the Victoria Cross as well as experience some of the equipment and uniforms used by soldiers during the war.
Class 10 Shout Outs!
Big shout outs today go to Aria and Freya!
Over the summer, Aria has completed a big reading challenge at the local library – reading for 10 minutes every day! Aria was so in love with her reading that she wouldn’t even put her book down as she helped mum in the supermarket with her shopping … well done, Aria – keep up the fantastic work and hopefully we can all take a leaf out of your book and do the same!
And, Freya has brought in our very first piece of homework – a fantastic model of an air raid shelter like those used in WW2. Brilliant work, Freya – you’ve done a super job! I wonder what you might choose from the Homework Menu next?
Sculpture club
Just want to say a big thank you to sculpture club. They were fab at listening and learning about the different paper sculpture techniques this week! Check out what they have done below. A few more techniques to show them next week, but they have been set a challenge to think about what they’d like to start to make. Ensuring they apply some of these techniques to create something 3D!
Year 3 – PE and XP Outdoors
Year 3 will have PE on Mondays and XP Outdoors on Wednesdays. Please ensure your child has appropriate footwear and kit for these activities. If needed, children can keep a bag with their kit in on their pegs for the week but this must be taken home on Fridays each week.
Thank you, Mrs Dutton and Mr Taylor
Class 10 – Evacuees
We’ve had a brill start to our expedition hook week today by learning all about evacuees and their experiences in WW2. We made wooden peg fighter planes and cardboard gas mask boxes before taking a trip as a evacuees to a local church where we wrote letters home and thought about the things we would take with us in a real evacuation.
A big shout out to those children who were able to dress up – you all looked amazing!
Year 3/4 | Evacuation Day!
This morning, the children were getting crafty by creating World War 2 planes out of clothes pegs.
We then learnt about evacuation during the Second World War, and looked at how children would each have their own gas mask to take with them. This led to us making our very own gas mask boxes!
In the afternoon, we were lucky enough to visit Thorne Methodist Church. We imagined ourselves as evacuees and wrote letters home to our parents!
Year 3 | More Colour Run Photos!
Year 3/4 | Colour Run Fun!
Y3/Class 10 – What a Finish!
Wow – what a way to end our first week back! This morning, we spent some crew time outdoors completing team building games before looking, once more, at our Green Top Character Traits. Today’s story was The Selfish Giant which had us all thinking carefully about the trait of compassion.
Of course, the highlight of our day has to be this afternoon’s colour run which was amazing and I am so proud of how brave the children were – great job guys! A huge thank you to those of you who have managed to bring sponsorship money in for this as funds raised will be going towards our future reading library. A special mention to George for raising a whopping £85 and to Beatrice for a very mighty £55!
It’s been a gorgeous week with my lovely new class so a huge shout out to all the boys and girls for being such little superstars – I can’t wait to do Year 3 with you all! Best wishes for a well deserved weekend break, Mrs Dutton xx
