From Monday 26th February please can year 2 children bring their PE kits into school every Monday. They will be taking part in kixx (football) outside every Monday afternoon if the weather allows, if not, it will happen in the hall. This is for this term only.
Thanks for your understanding with this change.

Well done to our Y6 children who took part in the pyramid benchball competition on Wednesday at Trinity. Out of 8 teams competing we finished 3rd and 4th respectively. Well done Y6, keep your eyes peeled for the next competition!
Don’t forget we are celebrating World Book Day and can’t wait to see your costumes!
A massive shout out to Theo’s Mum who came and spoke to the children this morning about her role as a train driver. The children loved hearing all about: the skills needed to be a train driver, what is involved in the day to day job and the importance of train safety. They went on to ask some thoughtful and enquiring questions and hopefully it will have inspired some of our children to set themselves aspirations for a future career. Ask the children if they can remember the importance of 6 sheep to a train driver; this was linked to an interesting but funny fact!
Here is the QR code to our shared reading text this week, as well as the spellings that we have been learning and practicing. Why not test your children on them to see how they do?
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!

If any of the year 1 children are missing their socks today it’s because they have worked them off in the first couple of days of the new term. We have been trying really hard with our phonics and reading – we had many more books to change today then usual – and are looking forward to sharing this learning with our parents and carers at our special phonics family learning events on Wedneaday for Miss Schon and Miss Rodgers’ groups, and on Thursday for Miss Cooper and Mrs. Clay’s groups.
We have been practising our addition and subtraction to 20 in maths and learning about food chains and the transference of energy in our expedition sessions.
We have also been adding watercolor to our artwork in preperation for our end of term gallery – watch this space for details of this event – and today Mr Kershaw helped us to begin to understand weather patterns!
Let’s hope we have enough energy left for tomorrow’s DISCO!
