Class 5: First Week Back!

30th August 2025Carly Schon

Wow what a week we have had in Class 5. It has been so lovely getting to know the children even better they are awesome! I have already seen how brilliant the children are at displaying courage and overcoming any worries or concerns they have. They are very resilient and we have had so much fun completing our first week back activities. Two of our highlights were visiting the XP Outdoors camp where we toasted marshmallows to make smores and sang funny camp songs with Mr Kershaw. It was so lovely seeing the children smiling and laughing along. We also loved our Water Extravaganza especially the water guns, wet sponge obstacle course and Mrs Raynors soggy disco!

For our learning this week we have been answering the guiding question ‘How does what I do impact others?’. We have learned about reducing, reusing and recycling materials to help conquer climate change. We have been drawing pictures to decorate recycling boxes for all the classes in school. We had a lovely lady called Lynne come in to visit us to teach us all about what happens with our waste in Doncaster. The children have been really engaged and compassionate.

I am very excited for our Hook Week next week where we will learn what our Autumn Term Expedition will be and do lots of crafts to decorate our classroom!

Here are some photos of our week! (Water Extravaganza will be shared in a whole school post!)

Class 9’s FWB!

29th August 2025Robyn Cooper

What an amazing first week back we have had in Class 9! We began the week by exploring camp GreenTop with Mr Kershaw where we made smores on the fire and used amazing communication and listening skills in our team building challenges. Class 9 also blew Mr Overson away with their orienteering skills.

Our week has been full of excitement, laughter and lots of fun. We focused a lot of our learning around our different character traits and considered how we can improve on these throughout our journey in year 3. We also practised democracy and voted for our Crew Council, digital leader, reading ambassador and active sports ambassador. The children have shown great courage. I could not be prouder.

We finished our amazing week with the ‘water extravaganza’. I hope the children enjoyed this as much as I did! I can’t wait to see what the rest of our year is going to be like Class 9! Have a lovely weekend! – Miss Cooper x

Class 8’s first week back

27th August 2025Aime Shaw

Class 8 have been busy making cards, which we will be delivering to a local care home this week, we have made keyrings to spread kindness, which will be handed out in Thorne on Friday and we have been litter picking today trying to make our community a nicer place to live.

We have also loved playing games, singing and colouring as well this week too! I am loving getting to know the children in class 8

The children have made posters and a video and visited each class to kindly ask for donations! If you can, please dig through your cupboards and bring any donations by Thursday 28th August.

As always, we appreciate your support as do our Year 5 children!

Goodbye Class 5 2025

19th July 2025Carly Schon

Well what can I say. Class 5, myself and Miss Cooper are going to miss you sooooo much. You have been so much fun. Your personalities have absolutely shone through all year. Even the children who began the year shy and quiet have absolutely bloomed! You have worked so hard and I can see that you are all ready to begin your next adventure in Year 2. I am so pleased I will still get to see you all again next year so I can follow your journeys. A huge thank you from me and Miss Cooper for being so awesome and keeping us entertained throughout the year. We have laughed so much and had endless amounts of cuddles! Enjoy your summer break – you have all earned it!

Before we sign off I would like to share the work the children have been doing over the past couple of days. We have two videos to share with you. The children have not seen these yet so I would appreciate it if you could let the children watch them. The first video are the speeches the children prepared as part of our Aspirations Week. I was so proud of them all for showing courage and all being willing to stand up in front of their classmates and delivered their speeches! They all showed perseverance even when it became hard. I wanted to create a video to show them off! The second video is a song we have been singing linked to Graduation. I thought it would be a nice idea for the children to act out the words to create this special Graduation Video. I’m sure the children will enjoy singing and dancing along to it!
