On Thursday, Year 6 are holding a bun sale to raise money to go towards their leavers events.
Buns will be on sale for 50p.
If you would like to buy a bun, please bring your money and hand to your class teacher on Thursday morning.
Any buns left over will be sold outside Year 6 at home time.
This morning we reflected on our arithmetic learning so far this term. We played ‘dash’ in small teams – recording the different arithmetic skills we had focused on this term. The children then went on to identify what they are proud of and what they need to continue to work on. Well done guys – you have learnt so much this year already!
We have had loads of great news from the children this weekend! I have been blown away with the amount of medals, trophies and amazing experiences that the children have had this weekend. Thomas scored his first goal, Penny was in a dance show and Jude, Ezra, George, Phoenix and Eden won their first cup final trophy with their football team! Well done guys, I’m so proud of you all!
In G Block today the reception children have been painting with forks to create autumn coloured spikes, below is a few examples of the mornings work.
Beautiful work from everyone! 😊
I have been notified by TTRS (Maths Circle) that many children are using out-of-date versions of the game which may not have the new functionalities.
It’s important that they use the latest versions of the app and and website to ensure they receive the most secure, feature-rich and enjoyable experience of Times Tables Rock Stars. Some of the versions are so far behind that they’re missing out on key updates.
Solution:
If using the website at home, please ask parents to visit play.ttrockstars.com/reset to load the latest version in their device’s browser. Otherwise please to update the Times Tables Rock Stars app from the app store.
Thanks,
Mr Mumby
This week, not only have Class 10 written up their independent writing about who the Romans were, they have also taken each others best sentences so that we can use them on the website.
The collaboration was fantastic to see!
A huge thankyou to everyone in class 8 who brought contributions towards children in need, we have had a lovely day dressing up and afternoon doing the activities. 😊
From Market Town to Railway City – The Railway Journey that Helped to Shape Doncaster.
This is an updated collection of all the beautiful work created over the last few years by students across the XP Trust schools, inspired by the centenary of the Flying Scotsman and the railway heritage of Doncaster.
This book has given us an opportunity to update the original content of the many rail expeditions, with quotes from experts and our community about the importance of railways, the steam engines built here and the ongoing rail-related business here that will help shape the future of rail.
Published to coincide with a centenary celebration visit from the Flying Scotsman, we humbly hope that this book, created by our students and a new generation of rail enthusiasts, will become part of our railway story.
