This week in Crew Ambler we have been very busy in art producing an image of The Mallard ready for our final product. I have been very impressed with Layla and Damion’s art work using one point perspective and water colours to produce their final image. Well done!
Tomorrow we are going to be visited by a team from Doncaster Schools Work Trust. The children in Nursery will take part in a workshop titled ‘A Christmas Journey’ which is a hands on interactive experience introducing them to the nativity story and exploring the birth of baby Jesus.
The charity are kindly donating their services for free and invite parents and carers to make a voluntary contribution towards covering the cost of their resources and the gift each child will take home. If you would like to do so please could you bring £2 to nursery tomorrow.
If you would like to find out more information about the charity it is available on their website http://dswt.co.uk/
Look out for a blog post tomorrow sharing with you the fun we get up to!
Choir Children and parents, please see the below letter 🙂 Hope to see you all there on Friday to spread some festivity.
In line with the updated guidance from the Prime Minister this weekend we are requesting that parents, carers and visitors wear face masks in the school building and in communal areas outside when it is busy. As our numbers of positive cases have begun to creep up we are asking that parents follow the local guidance where possible.
Our most recent Local Authority Guidance states:
There is a higher risk of a child testing positive if a person in their household has tested positive. If there is a positive person (e.g. Parent or sibling) in your household we are recommending that your child or children stay at home:
Any pupil who has tested positive for COVID-19 via a PCR test within the past 90 days are exempt from this. Parents and carers who still want their child to continue to attend school have the right for them to do so.
As we enter the winter period and as rates across Doncaster are high, we are aware there may be additional guidance from the local authority around group gatherings, therefore tickets for concerts and events planned this term will be released once we have received confirmation that this remains possible.
As always if you have any concerns or questions please contact your Childs’ crew leader, teacher or phase leader for further information.
Thanks
Huge well done to these 2 superstars today for winning our yellow t shirt for the week. Both Savannah and Ezra were over the moon to receive the awards.
So proud of you guys!
Today in Expedition, we investigated how shadows change shape depending on how close to a light source they are.
In groups, the children made predictions, carried out their investigations, recorded their results and even created a bar chart to help us clearly identify the trends.
A big shout out to all of our Crew for their awesome collaboration!
In phonics sessions this week we are working hard to get better at tuning into environmental sounds and identifying the things we can hear. The children know that they need to be quiet and switch on their listening ears to help them explore all the different sounds around them. We had great fun going on a listening walk this morning. We heard the Year 1 children having fun in their PE lesson, our footsteps on the stairs and even Mr Oldridge talking to his crew! The children were then able to draw pictures or make marks on paper to represent the sounds they heard!
Then in our independent learning time some children chose to make listening ear headbands to help them tune into sounds outside. We heard the birds in the trees, the cars passing by and the children playing in the playground. Maybe you could try and tune into some environmental sounds at home like the microwave or the kitchen tap? You could also play a listening game using the video on this link https://youtu.be/h0Kp_J9kvNM
An amazing week of kindness and support for each other and those less fortunate. Well done to the children who designed and made their C in N t shirts last Thursday and to everyone for their contribution to our whole school video for anti-bullying week. Great job everyone!
