It has been a truly magical morning for the children and their parents celebrating Christmas festival with us. The children were absolutely amazing acting out with confidence and spreading their joy and happiness around. Well done everybody!
We have had a lovely week in our crew reading books with our partners and looking at our beautiful work. We enjoyed our story time and a warm cup of hot chocolate during our outdoor crew session.
Crew Goodyer have enjoyed the outdoors this week creating some beautiful Autumn leaf collages with Mrs Jackson.
We had an amazing day at Conisbrough Castle and learnt so much about it’s history from our expert guide Janet.
We explored inside the stone keep and saw Lord Hamlin and Lady Isabelle’s private rooms and chapel.
We even climbed to the top to see how far the guards could see when they were defending the castle.
After lunch we listened to a story about castle life and heard about the people who would have lived and worked there, we all enjoyed dressing up and getting into character.
We’ve learnt so much to help us along in our expedition ‘From Rags to Riches: What Lies Within the Castle Walls?’
Class 3 have been astounding me with their sorting and counting skills this week. They have been finding different ways to sort objects and described their groups to their partners.
They they showed me how wonderfully they can count by organising their collections and recording in different ways.
Well done everyone, you demonstrated great team work and proved that you really are magic mathematicians!
What a beautiful morning it was for our annual sports day. The children took part in events such as hurdles, javelin, dribbling the football, long jump, egg and spoon race and our favourite….the sack race! Every child tried their very best and all enjoyed competing in the events. It was a very close competition – the blue team were the winners with the orange and yellow teams coming a close second and third. We ended the morning with a special ice lolly treat kindly provided by FONCA. We all had a great time!
We have had an amazing day. We started with a walk around the grounds at Cusworth Hall and enjoyed taking part in the history trail. We spent some time at the top of the hill seeing which Doncaster landmarks we could spot – we found Doncaster Minster, the Frenchgate, Doncaster Royal Infirmary and the Eco Power stadium too. We then skipped, hopped, rolled, ran down the great big hill – it was exhausting getting back up the hill though!!
The coach then took us across the city to the Eco Power Stadium. On the way we spotted more Doncaster landmarks we saw a mosque, Doncaster Train Station and lots of restaurants that we recognised too! When we arrived at the stadium we had lunch sat in the seats overlooking the pitch followed by a stadium tour and a PE lesson. We were very excited to meet Donny Dog too.
We had an absolutely fantastic day – it was great to see lots of the landmarks that we have found out about over the course of our expedition.
We have had an amazing week working extremely hard on our phonics and reading. We loved playing ‘Obb and Bob’ game showing our enthusiasm and great knowledge of phonics. We ended up our busy week with a celebration of learning. We enjoyed dancing, singing and having fun with our friends. Well done Year 1!
Over the last few weeks we have been working hard to develop our art skills. We have worked on our line drawing, pattern and texture techniques as well as colour mixing and shading. We are extremely proud of our pieces of art that represent some of the landmarks in and around Doncaster.
Sometimes we just need to play together in the sunshine ☀️
