We have had another exciting week finding out about castles. We have been very lucky to meet our expert visitor, Mr Lamb, who told us about the life around castles. We have also enjoyed our reading crew and sorting and counting numbers in Maths.
We have had a very exciting week and loved sharing a story called ’Tell me a dragon’. The children came up with some great describing words and used them in their independent writing. A dragon visited our classroom and left some footprints…Later in the week we became artists and created pictures of dragon’s eyes.
We have had a lovely start to the new academic year in Class 4 having lots of fun, playing games, getting to know our friends and building relationships with them.
Dress Up Day – Immersion Week
As part of our immersion week, we are asking the children to come to school on Friday 9th September dressed as someone who may have lived or worked in a castle – people like servants, kings and queens, princesses, court jesters, knights etc
Please don’t feel you need to spend lots of money on these at short notice, it may be a costume you already have at home, a mask you can print and make from the internet or there are lots of crafty ideas online too. As part of our immersion week we will be making crowns etc also, so every child will be involved.
On this day, we will be doing lots of fun activities relating to our new expedition – we will make sure we share lots of photographs and videos so that you can see what we get up to.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Games of tag and movement challenges outside. We are all having lots of fun!
Class 4 have discussed the ways to stay sun safe and created some wonderful posters.
It’s been transition day today – we’ve had a great day getting to know each other.
We have played games, made things and got crafty. There have been lots of smiles, chatting and hard work.
Miss Tinker and I are already looking forward to next year

PS. We can’t wait to see your crew bag challenges in August! 
The children in class 4 have been very reflective on their learning and worked with their partners to talk about the progress they have made this year. Then they have planned their next steps for year 2 and made pledges.
The children read every day in their early morning time. They share their books with others and take turns to read in front of the class. All children in our class have made fantastic progress with their reading this year. Well done everybody.
As part of our expedition, Class 4 have been learning about different traditions, cultures and festivals that are celebrated around Doncaster. We enjoyed working in our mixed class groups discussing how we are all unique and special.
