This week in nursery we turned our classroom into a train creation station. The children have been busy designing and making their 2D and 3D trains using box modelling , construction and art. The children were challenged to use their knowledge of art and maths. Here are just a few fantastic examples !
Amber and Frankie were inspired by our very own builders from the nursery extension build. “We are building the new Green Top! ” (Nursery) Frankie shared as they both took their tools to the wood to create their model . We are all very excited about the weeks ahead as we move into our beautiful new classroom.
Oliver has once again been doing some fantastic home learning over half term. He has explored Thorne and taken photographs. He has then compared his modern day photographs to old images of the same place. If you would like to take a look at Oliver’s home learning, it is proudly displayed in our classroom. Well done Oliver!
Faith has been so so brave over half term after several visits to hospital. Here is Faith with her bravery awards. Well done Faith for being a superstar! I am very proud of you!

Ava’s amazing design has been selected as a winner from lots of entries from all over Doncaster, in the Doncaster Book Award ‘Design-a-Dragon’ Competition. Ava put lots of effort into her Dragoon design at book club and at home and her design has been chosen as a winner by the Book Award Committee! Ava has now been invited to a ceramic arts day with a professional artist during half term, where she will be able to bring her design to life and make her dragon design out of clay!
Ava and her winning dragon!
Congratulations Ava – I’m sure you’re going to have an amazing time!
Dante and Dexter worked so hard to use their phonics to write sentences with the ‘oa’ digraph. They remembered to include capital letters, finger spaces and full stops. Well done boys! Excellent phonics work!

After reading June Crebbin’s ‘Train Ride’ Sofia, Jersey, Niah and Elliott continued their learning by choosing to create a large story map as a group. The children created drawings linking to what could be seen out of the train window. Wonderful imitate work for Talk for Writing!
Rhianna and Emmie have produced two amazing pieces of English writing this week, I’m so proud of these two Year 5 girls.
