Today, we have been busy working collaboratively to build our background knowledge (BBK) by exploring sources of information about the Blitz in WW2. We then used this research to help us ask and answer questions about what ‘the Blitz’ means, why and when it happened, what it was like to experience the Blitz and – most importantly – when and why did it stop. Why not ask us some questions about our learning at home and see how much new knowledge we can share. For instance … what is the difference between an Anderson shelter and a Morrison shelter?
And the home learning projects just keep on coming from Class 10 … they certainly are a busy bunch! Shout outs go to Reid for a fab Anderson shelter model, Martha for a very detailed timeline of WW2 and last – but not least – Freya for her amazing sewing skills and homemade rag doll. Keep on blowing me away guys, you’re all doing fantastic. Mrs Dutton 🙂 x
This year, we are working hard to raise money to develop our reading for pleasure library so firstly, we would like to say a huge thank you for all your sponsors from the colour run which will go along way to helping us!
Secondly, we still need your help! We would love for you to help us design the library based on the space we have to use which is the foyer area near the hall.
Please design your ideal library and share your plans with Miss Knowles in person or at [email protected] This is for everyone across school to get involved in! Please send your plans by 7th October.
We can’t wait to see your fantastic ideas which will help us design the perfect library!
This week’s the children had the chance to make their own friendship corded bracelets which they seemed to enjoy very much! Lovely little group and great effort.
WowWowWow! What an amazing bunch of talented and hardworking children we have in Class 10 – I have been blown away and completely bowled over by the beautiful homework and out of school achievements everyone has shared with me this week. Keep it coming, guys – I am so proud of you all! Mrs Dutton x
School uniform and equipment:
PE and XP Outdoors:
In Year 3, PE will be on a Monday afternoon and XP Outdoors will take place on a Wednesday. Below is a list of the required kit for each day.
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!
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.
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?
