Year 3 – Roman Extravaganza!

5th September 2025Claire Dutton

Wowwee … what a fabulous Roman day we’ve had today in LKS2. A huge thank you to everyone who managed to dress up – your costumes looked AMAZINGGG!

Our visitors from Doncaster Heritage were fantastic and so knowledgeable … they held an assembly for us in the morning where we learned so many interesting facts. Did you know … the Romans used cobwebs to treat cuts and scrapes??? Then, children also had a chance to get hands-on with some real Roman artefacts and replicas, as well as asking lots of questions.

To finish the day off, we have enjoyed some Roman-themed arts and crafts alongside the Horrible Histories movie … what an awesome day!

Y3 and Y4 Welcome Meeting

1st September 2025Chris Mumby

We are delighted to invite all parents and carers of children in Year 3 and Year 4 to our Welcome Meeting on Wednesday 17th from 5.00pm – 6.00pm in the school hall (please use the hall door entrance). This meeting will be a wonderful opportunity to meet the Year 3/4 teaching team and to hear more about the exciting year of learning ahead. We will be sharing details about how we will continue to develop reading fluency, comprehension and a love of books, as well as explaining how we are preparing Year 4 children for the Multiplication Tables Check (MTCs) later in the year. Parents of Year 4 pupils will also hear about upcoming swimming lessons and how these fit into the wider PE curriculum. Most importantly, this will be a chance to learn about routines and expectations in Year 3 and Year 4, and to see how home and school can work together to make this a positive, successful and enjoyable year for every child. We look forward to welcoming you and sharing the exciting journey ahead!

Thank you in advance,

Y3 and Y4 Team

Class 10 – A Great First Week Back – Who’s ready for another one??!

1st September 2025Claire Dutton

It was a brilliant first week back in Class 10 last week and it was an absolute pleasure getting to know everyone better! On top of all the fun and exciting special activities we took part in outside of the classroom, the children were also super busy inside the classroom … revisiting what crew means to us, sharing ideas and creating the norms that will help us to work hard, be kind and get smart all year long! We used stories to help us think about what being a good crew member means to us, Bogtrotter for example … where we designed our own bogtrotters and thought about what new adventures they might go on in Year 3 … just like us! AND … we even managed to squeeze in a little visit to our brand new school library which is simply beautiful and we can’t wait to use again. I wonder what our new week will bring …?!

Class 10 – FWB Water Extravaganza!

31st August 2025Claire Dutton

WOW! what a wet n wild way to end our first week back in Year 3 … Class 10 had so much fun at our water extravaganza, and they were a credit to themselves in how they behaved and the great sportsmanship displayed – well done everyone!!

Year 3 – Being Good Crew Members in our Local Community (during FWB)

29th August 2025Claire Dutton

In Year 3, our first week back has been ALL about exploring what makes a good crew member because ‘if we get crew right, we get everything right!’ so on Wednesday, we thought about how we could be good crew members in our local communities – both within school and beyond! Then, to put this into action we went out and about to litter pick in Thorne Memorial Park. We even found a little bit of time to play and rest, and to take in the beautiful boards there made by last years’ Year3/4 children … who knows where our beautiful work will end up this year?! The children were a real credit to us all and we were so proud of their beautiful behaviour out in the community – great job boys and girls!

And that’s a wrap! A fond farewell to you all and best wishes for a fabulous summer at home with your families. Thank you for a fabulous year, Class 10 – we may have been a little bit noisy and lively now and again but I have loved being your teacher again and I am so happy that I have had the chance to see the whole year out with you all this time round 🙂 I know you’re all going to smash Year 4 and I will be sure to check in and find out how you’re all doing in your new classroom.

Y3 End of Year Celebrations!

17th July 2025Claire Dutton

We’ve had a brilliant last full day in Year 3 today. Starting with a sneaky performance of the Y6 leaver’s assembly where we were blown away by the beautiful singing and smart presentation of our Y6 students. And, ending with a mini leaver’s assembly of our own where everyone received their own special certificate … well done everyone! It’s been a fabulous year and we are all more than ready for our final day, picnic and summer break! See you all tomorrow …

Mrs Dutton & Mr Taylor 🙂
