On Monday 8th July Year 1 children would like to invite their grown-ups to their presentation of learning for our Expedition ‘Diverse Doncaster – Where do I belong?’. The hall will be open from 8:30am for grown-up to get a hot drink whilst the children are registered in their classes. Children will then come to the hall to share their learning with you. The children cannot wait for you to see all their hard work!
A huge congratulations to Luther , Xavier and Eli our HOWL point winners last week! The boys have truly been working hard and are such kind members of our crew! I am not surprised they were winners!
Kuba, Charlie and Archie were our Crew Champions this week and well deserved celebrations were had! I am so proud of how far they have come this year! Keep up the great work!
Yorkshire Water have informed us that due to the road closure on part of Ellison Street (near the garage), buses are using Middlebrook Lane. Yorkshire Water have said they will be placing ‘no parking’ cones along Middlebrook Lane from tomorrow for the next few weeks.
Please can you respect this enforcement to ensure the safety of our children. Buses are getting stuck due to poorly parked cars, especially at school times.
Thank you for your support.
Well done to all of the children who took part today! You were all fantastic and I’m sure everyone watching was extremely proud too!
Thanks to all of our parents and carers that came today too and supported our school and children. We hope you enjoyed it just as much!
Thank you so much to everyone who has sent in baby photos so far. The children have loved looking at them and trying to guess which one of their classmates is in the photograph. We have been talking about how much the children have changed over time. We have also been playing ‘Guess the teacher’ and comparing how the quality of the photographs have changed over time. We will be continuing to share photographs thoughout next week so you still have time to send them in if you haven’t done so already.
Next week we are moving on to our History case study. To help us with our learning we would love to play a game of matching our friends to their baby photos. If your child is happy for their photo to be included in their class game please email your child’s class teacher a baby photo. We can’t wait to see how much you have all grown!

This morning, Class 15 enjoyed a crew treat with a visit to the book fair. We checked out the different books on offer and were even able to read a page or two of the ones we liked best. To end our session, we shared two of the picture books as a crew read.
The book fair is still in school at the start of next week so don’t forget to pay a visit and treat yourself to some new reads!
On this day 80 years ago, thousands of troops from 13 different countries took part in Operation Neptune, otherwise known as D Day. This morning, Green Top children from all year groups learned of the courageous actions of the brave men and women who played a part in the Allied operation that launched the successful defeat of Nazis in occupied Western Europe during World War II. Reception children produced Union Flag bunting, Y1 made the parachutes of the soldiers who were dropped over the enemy lines the previous evening to capture roads and bridges, cutting off the supply lines to the German defences and Y2 created silhouettes of the planes that provided air cover for the invasion and the barrage balloons that protected the Allied troops from air strikes. Years 3 and 4 produced fact files of the key facts of the operation, Y5 wrote thoughtful diary entries from the points of view of soldiers from both sides of the conflict as well as their families, and Y6 created beautiful art work depicting the sacrifices made by the soldiers.
All of this work will be collated into a display in school by the History Club, helping to ensure that we will never forget the heavy price that was paid all those years ago for our freedom.
Crew Shaw has remembered the soldiers who has passed and the ones still alive today. We had a PowerPoint with lots of information, the children absolutely loved it! Then they went on to make their aircraft used. Here are some parts of the learning.
