Dear Parents/carers,

During the next few weeks, our Year 2 children are preparing for their ‘Final Word’ presentation. This is a reflection on their Infant school years whereby they reflect on their character growth, academic success and the beautiful work that they have produced during their time at Norton Infant School. This is also a time to use their reflections to share why they are ready to take on their new challenge at Norton Junior School. This is something the children will be spending a lot of time on supported by their class teacher.

During their presentations, we would like to invite you to attend their Final Word along with their crew lead and a teacher of their choice. Please fill out the form linked by Friday 17th June so that staff can align times and dates for the year 2 pupils presentations.

Thank you for supporting the children with this important part of their time in year two.
Mrs Parsons

We have had an absolutely fantastic morning in year two. We have been so lucky to have some parents and grandparents come in to school, answer our questions and share with us what school and life in Norton used to be like. We have learned so much and can’t wait to use everything we have found out to help us answer our guiding question.

Thank you so much to our experts – the children got so much from your experiences.

We are getting ready to interview our experts tomorrow to help us answer our guiding question Diverse Doncaster: Where do I belong? We spent some time in crew this morning critiquing our visitor protocol, making sure we ready to get the most from our morning.

As part of our History case study this morning we have been thinking about what schools in the 1800’s and 1900’s might have been like. We didn’t like the lack of technology, the cane or the dunces hat! We also decided we wouldn’t be able to create beautiful work if we had to sit all squashed up like they did in the past – we wanted Mrs Parsons to put our chairs back!

We are holding a sponsored dance-a-thon in school on Thursday 9th June in the morning. The children will take it in turns to ensure someone from each of our crews is dancing at all times during the morning. The money raised will go toward the Year Two children’s Norton Infant School leaving party.  

Sponsor money should be paid into ParentPay before Friday 17th June. Sponsor forms are coming home with the children tonight

Thank you for your support, 

Year Two Crew xx
