Year 3 – Roman Extravaganza!

Wowwee … what a fabulous Roman day we’ve had today in LKS2. A huge thank you to everyone who managed to dress up – your costumes looked AMAZINGGG!

Our visitors from Doncaster Heritage were fantastic and so knowledgeable … they held an assembly for us in the morning where we learned so many interesting facts. Did you know … the Romans used cobwebs to treat cuts and scrapes??? Then, children also had a chance to get hands-on with some real Roman artefacts and replicas, as well as asking lots of questions.

To finish the day off, we have enjoyed some Roman-themed arts and crafts alongside the Horrible Histories movie … what an awesome day!

Year 2 PE

Starting next week, year 2 PE will be on a Wednesday afternoon. Please send the children with their PE kits named and in a bag, with appropriate trainers or pumps. Thank you

Class 7 – Hook Week (Day 3 and 4)!

On day 3, Class 7 learned about Martin Luther King jr and the impact he had on his community. We were inspired to write down the hopes and dreams we have for own community, for ourselves and those we care about!

On day 4, we dressed up as super heroes. We drew our heroes and we made the heroes that help us in our local community!

Here are the heroes of Class 7!
