Aidan was making the most of the glorious weather today and decided to take 10 minutes out to enjoy a book. What a place to read it too 🙂
Hope everyone manages to take 10 minutes out for themselves today too…nothing better than getting engrossed into a good book.
Enjoy your weekend

In Crew Jackson we have explored our new feeling charts and the 5 point scale they represent. We have spent time in crew circle discussing how it is okay to feel okay! We explored how in the past the children have said they are feeling angry or sad but now when they reflect they realise they are “ okay but tired…okay but something upset them…okay but something hurts.”
We talked about how it feels, what it looks like and what it sounds like when we have a serious concern or are out of control. It was good to hear the children reflect on behaviours linked to these feelings.
Lots of fantastic learning attitudes in Class 6 yesterday in all areas of the curriculum.
Olivia showed she was a real Have a go Henry in our maths blast off by challenging herself to give every question a try no matter how tricky.
Harrison’s hand was forever in the air as he volunteered answers to every question asked during Mrs Walton’s RE session in G Block.
And Logan produced some outstanding adjectives to label a picture of himself in our Literacy Labs.
You are all-round, out of this world superstars Class 6 and we are very proud of you!
We had a great day at Danum Museum today learning even more about the Romans and how we know they used to be in Doncaster.
In Nursery this week we have been getting better at using mathematical language to describe the size of different objects. We started this topic by reading Goldilocks and the Three Bears and comparing big Daddy Bear, middle-sized Mummy Bear and tiny Baby Bear. Today the children were given the challenge of sorting out which items belonged to Daddy Bear and Baby Bear. They loved exploring the feely bag and deciding which shoes, socks, tshirt, shorts, cup and spoon belonged to who. I was so impressed with their use of words such as ‘bigger, smaller, huge, little and tiny’. Well done Nursery Crew!
Class 6 have been showing their artistic flair today by drawing Matilda from our new core text in the style of it’s illustrator, Quentin Blake. I’m sure you will agree, Reeva, Deacon, Harrison and Imogen thoroughly deserved our Learning Legend postcards today.
Great job guys!
Just a quick reminder to accept our invitation to Year 1’s on-line classroom. Not only is it a great place to catch up on work if you are not in school for any reason, but also to share your school work with your family, upload photographs of anything you are doing out of school, find spelling and reading lists and get handy tips and tricks to improve your learning.
What’s not to love?
Here is the link if you missed the invitation
What a great day we have had in Class 6 today…Kalab showed us his fishing medal, Ellis his Pokemon drawing and Deacon an acorn that he found which he intends to plant to see if he can grow an oak tree!
We also tried our hand at acting by reading, rehearsing and performing speeches we had written linked to our class text Let the Children March which tells the story of the Birmingham children’s marches in 1963 organised by Martin Luther King in support of civil rights. See our videos here.
Our Learning Legends today were Elina, for showing her Be Kind
HoWL by helping her friends and Savannah for her fabulous performance in our speeches.
Awesome job as always everyone!
Today Crew Ambler arranged themselves into 5 teams to take on the ‘Clean water challenge.’
Each group was given a bottle of muddy/dirty water and their challenge was to use various equipment and methods to separate the mud form the water. The winner would be the team with the cleanest water after 45 minutes!
They were given equipment including sieves and filter paper to work together and decide which equipment and which ways were best to separate the mud from the water.
After 45 minutes these were the results and the winners were Georgie, Danny and Ashton!
Well done everyone!!
What a great day Year 5 have had at Harry Potter Studios. We have flown broomsticks, checked out the props and scenery, walked through the Hogwarts Express and tried to go through Platform 9 3/4, plus many more things!
