Last week we has a special celebration for children who have demonstrated brilliant craftsmanship and quality in their Expedition books. Some children have beautiful work throughout and some children have made lots of improvement over the term so far. Well done superstars! We will be giving out more awards for beautiful work in a few weeks time.

This morning the children in Year 1 enjoyed a lovely wet walk to the Methodist Church. Mrs Raper gave us a lovely welcome and spoke to the children about the church and the community it serves. The children loved seeing all of the religious symbols and artefacts especially the organ and the family bible that had been passed down by many generations. The children asked some great questions too! What a lovely morning we had despite the rainy weather.

Yesterday the children in Year 1 were lucky to receive a visit from the Mayor of Doncaster Ros Jones. Ros spoke to the children about the jobs she does and the exciting things that are happening in Doncaster. We spoke about transport, travel, leisure, schools and housing amongst other things. We also discussed how we care for the environment and how we tackle issues such as food poverty and homelessness. The children asked some fantastic questions and I feel we have some potential future mayors in Year 1.
