We have been very creative this week and made some beautiful pictures of Islamic tiles using constructive colours. We also enjoyed learning about stained glass windows.

How can we help save the ocean?
This week class one have been reading ‘Harry Saves the Ocean!’ It taught us all about plastic pollution and how Harry and his friends work together to help clean the ocean.
In crew, we looked at pictures from the story and identified all the items that didn’t belong in the sea.
We have been sorting plastic into useful plastic and single use plastic…
We went on a gallery walk around the classroom and looked at images from the sea. The children had to decide if the images made them feel happy or sad.
Well done for working so hard class 1! The children have shown a real care and concern about the plastic pollution problem, which has been really heart warming. We understand that working together is key to making a change. As it says in our core text (Harry Saves The Ocean!)… ‘It’s a big job for one but if we all lend a hand, We’ll soon make a difference to the sea and the sand’.
Sunshine and Fairies
This morning some children in reception wanted to make a fairy garden. They drew some beautiful pictures for the fairies and wrote their own signs. Let’s hope the fairies visit soon…
Spots and Dots
We had a great community meeting this morning. We thought really hard about resilience and bravery particularly when it comes to completing beautiful work that we might find tricky.
We listened to the story called The Dot about a little girl called Vashti who found art difficult but worked hard and succeeded. We all got a dot of our very own to create our own mini piece of art work which we put together to make our very own dotty masterpiece.
We finished our community meeting with crew champions – we are really proud of all of you.

Dear World…
Today the children in EYFS had a wonderful time going to the Junior School hall to listen to children in Years 3 and 4 sing Dear World. This song was written by Key Stage Two children in their previous expedition that explored the importance of looking after our planet.
In their current expedition the children in EYFS are learning all about sea conservation and the need to recycle plastic waste so it was a perfect opportunity to listen again to Dear World and the poignant message it has. Thank you to the Junior School for a fantastic performance, the legacy of your beautiful work lives on!
World Earth Day
In crew we shared ideas about the things we can do to look after our amazing planet and made Earth Day pledges.
Human and Physical Features
Class Five have blown me away today with their Geography skills. We started by thinking about the differences between human and physical features. We worked collaboratively to sort images into the two groups, we kept reflecting and changing our minds the more we went through the construct part of our lesson. Finally we used our learning to identify these features on different maps of Doncaster.
Awesome job guys ⭐️
Beautiful Work
We started the week with sharing the beautiful work that has been happening in Key Stage One.
Well done everyone – super stars ⭐️
Mayor of Doncaster
We were so lucky to end our week with some more experts. We welcomed Mayor Ros Jones along with the Civic Mayor of Doncaster. We loved learning about their roles and finding out even more about Doncaster. We are looking forward to using our learning to answer our guiding question for this term – Diverse Doncaster – Where do I belong?
Position and Direction
We have been working really hard during hook week learning all about position and direction. We used positional language to direct people around Doncaster and we used Donny Dog to learn about turns and clockwise and anticlockwise.
