Better World Day 2022
In Year Two we came dressed in yellow and blue today with an aim to raise as much money as we could to send to our donations directly into Ukraine to help people who need it. We also spent time in crew discussing all the pledges we could make to help make our world a better place.
Sharing our Stories
In Class Five we went on some fieldwork this week to Doncaster Museum and Art Gallery to help us answer our guiding question, Diverse Doncaster – Where do I belong?
Back in school we wrote about our experiences handling artefacts, taking part in a workshop and exploring the museum. We did a great job confidently sharing our work with children in other classes.
Diverse Doncaster Fieldwork
We have had an absolutely fantastic day exploring the history of Doncaster. The children took part in a workshop studying artwork, handling artefacts and asking expert questions.
The children took lots away to help them with their expedition – Diverse Doncaster – Where do I belong?
They all behaved impeccably. They were kind and considerate to other members of the public – several people commented on how well they conducted themselves. All of the grown ups were very proud to enjoy the day with your children.
I’ve put together a video of photographs from our day – I hope you enjoy them.

Better World Day 2022
We will be celebrating Better World Day on Thursday 5th May (a day early). We are asking children to come into school wearing something blue or yellow. We are asking for voluntary contributions of 50p to raise money to send funds directly into Ukraine to support those in need. We will be talking about Better World Day in crew this week too.
Thank you all for your support,

Collaboration
I’ve been blown away with the collaboration in class five this morning. We’ve been busy sorting locations based on their human and physical features – great job!

Parent Experts and a Product Launch
What a lovely morning we have had in year two! We were joined in school by lots of parents and grandparents to share their memories of school and our local area of Norton, whilst having a cup of tea and a biscuit.
It was also lovely for the children to be able to share the work and product they completed during our first expedition – “What will I do to be a champion in my community?” If you would like a copy of their fantastic notebook, complete with pledges and art work – you can purchase one on ParentPay or contact Mrs Robson or myself.
As always, a huge thank you for your support.

Awesome Artwork
Class Five have blown us away with their critique and resilience this morning. We watched Austin’s butterfly before critiquing our own work and having a go at our second draft – the improvements are amazing!
Exploring Norton
Class Five spent a lovely morning in the sunshine looking at local landmarks and taking photographs ready for our art work later in the week.
Amazing Aerial Photography
Yesterday we were very lucky to be visited by Geoff and his drone. He talked to the children about aerial photography and different ways we can take photos. We then went outside and watched Geoff fly his drone 120 meters up in the air! He took some amazing photos of school and the surrounding areas.
