Learning champs!

Well deserved learning legend postcards today for Rhys and Anais for smashing effort in their work and this weeks yellow t shirt winner Florence, who has blown me away this week with her Can-do Colin attitude. Sorry Florence, I can’t find your photo. I will post one next week.

Great job guys!

Local expert visit – Nick Fletcher M.P.

KS1 were very grateful to local M.P., Nick Fletcher, who visited our school this morning to talk with us about littering and pollution in Doncaster.

We gave Mr Fletcher an advanced screening of last term’s final product, a video showcasing our expedition learning about everyday superheroes, and he answered some of our questions.

We learnt about the 30by30 initiative, an alliance made by 71 countries to protect at least 30% of the global ocean by 2030. The initiative is led by the UK and you can find out more at: https://www.gov.uk/government/topical-events/global-ocean-alliance-30by30-initiative/about

Mr Fletcher also urged us to consider how we can reduce plastic before the need for recycling, encouraging us to choose foods and items with either no packaging or more eco- friendly packaging. For example, choosing an apple over a bag of crisps or a glass bottle of pop as opposed to a plastic bottle.

Out Of This World

BIG WELL DONE to Elizabeth this week for her amazing attitude to learning, earning her our OOTW certificate. Elizabeth has been working hard to take pride in her learning, making good choices in lessons to work with new people, asking questions and answering them too! Keep up the hard work, superstar!

Maths maths maths!

Class 5 are all mathed out today. Not only do we all look totally awesome in our mathematical themed outfits, but we have worked so hard in our maths lesson too. We looked at place value and representing numbers with tens and ones. We worked with different equipment then practised doing it ourselves, drawing the tens and ones! Well done to everyone for your super efforts!

Becoming Geographers!

Today we started looking at Geography and what it is that we might be looking at in our new case study…

After working hard to complete the jigsaw, class 5 realised they were looking at a map of the world!
We found the UK and lots of other awesome countries. Then we thought about what we already know and what we might want to learn too! We can’t wait to find out more about the world and how people are affecting it…

Lots to celebrate in class 6

Our phase assembly winners today in class 6 were…

From Crew Rodgers – Work Hard – Eva, Be Kind – Rhys, Get Smart, Adam and HoWL points – Adam. A special mention to Adam who, despite being at home with the dreaded chicken pox, has posted photographs of his homework on classroom every day to earn enough HoWL points to win this week’s certificate and Get Smart award.

From Crew O’Neill – Work Hard – Florence and Get Smart – Radu.

Nathaniel was our reading champion and Deacon, Junior and Tyler gained their Bronze reading certificates.

A huge shout out to Imogen also who proudly showed off her Irish Dancing medals from a comp she entered last weekend.

Amazing job everyone.

Class 5 champions!

WOW to some awesome children in class 5 today!

Macky has been racking up those HOWL points over the past week and has ended up with the most! He’s definitely displayed all of our HOWLs and has been taking beautiful pride in all of his learning.

Hunter and Aurora have been chosen as Crew O’Neill and Crew Good’s BE KIND champion this week. These two always keep our classroom tidy and are super kind crew members to each other. Always using their manners, being respectful too!

Elizabeth is our WORK HARD champion this week. Her attitude to learning has been excellent, she’s really making some great choices and producing some amazing writing. She is responding so well to critique and feedback and really starting to engage in her learning.

Maya has been chosen as our GET SMART champion this week as she has been on fire!!! She’s been so active every day and working hard to take pride in her work.

Keep up the hard work class 5, you’re all superstars!!!!

Legends!

It was a pleasure to give these postcards today to 2 of our children who have showed how following our HoWLs brings success. Radu scored 10 out of 10 in our monthly spelling check, and Florence has worked so hard in her measuring maths lesson.

I am so proud of you guys.
