Today in class 6 we held an election to find our new class mayor.
The children wrote their campaign pledges which included litter picking, helping with reading and even bringing in sweets!
We then held a vote. Well done to Amelie who was elected Mayor and Katie and Freddy who are assistant mayors. I can’t wait to see what they get up to!
This morning we had a visit from the Mayor of Doncaster, Ros Jones. We were very impressed with the mature and thoughtful questions the children asked such as,
Do you like your job?
Do you have an office?
What are you going to do to help homeless people?
Are there any foodbanks in Doncaster?
How did you become the mayor?
Who gave you your CBE?
Who came first in the Mayor of the world competition?
How has Covid 19 affected Doncaster?
How do you keep people safe in Doncaster?
What can we do to help?
We are looking forward to meeting some more experts next week to learn even more about champions in our community and what we can do to make a difference.
Another day means another day of crew challenges!
Today we had to build the tallest freestanding balloon tower – everyone did amazingly working together and communicating to build the best structure despite a few burst balloons!
Next we had a pile of materials, a roll of tape and an egg. We had to make the best safety jacket for our egg before dropping them from the target board to see which crews egg had survived! There was some fantastic team work and communication because every crew had an egg survivor!
The children have loved being back where they belong 🥰 They have settled brilliantly and we are so proud of them! Check out our silent disco…
Year Two have been busy sharing memories from over the past year to add to their time capsule. We have buried it and plan to open it again when we reach year six – we wonder how much the world will have changed by then?
The children have planned and written some incredible stories about Wild 10 years later…
We have been learning about lines of symmetry in maths…
In expedition we have been learning about how to add texture into our observational drawings. 😀
We have written friendship letters to our friends that we will be sharing with each other next week ❤️
We had so much fun celebrating World Book Day! We have written book reviews, made finger puppets, been on scavenger hunts, guessed the masked reader contestants and shared some stories on our hangout 😊
Lily read her favourite story beautifully and wrote an amazing review…
I couldn’t think of a better way to end our last home learning blog than with a quote from Lily’s favourite book. I think it says it all, you can be anything you want to be and you’ve got an amazing journey ahead of you…
Thank you for your amazing efforts,
Mrs Chadwick xxxx
We have been busy researching for our expedition product in year two.
We have been learning all about shape this week. We’ve been getting creative making 2D and 3D shapes at home 😀
A square based pyramid and a cube. What a super idea!
We have also started our new core text ‘Wild’ by Emily Hughes. Take a look at some of our descriptive writing and fantastic drawings…
For our expedition we have been out and about spotting animals that live in our local area. Take a look at some of the artwork we have created so far…
What super stars you all are! Thank you for continuing to work so hard 😊

I have received some brilliant photos and videos this week. You have all been so busy and I want to say a huge thank you for sharing all your incredible work.
Check out Chloe’s ‘Stop Go Animations’. I think we have a budding film maker in our class…
Harry Potter
Sit back and enjoy…
The children have also produced some beautiful art work and have redrafted their work to make it even better! Super stars…
We have been busy interpreting and drawing tally charts and pictograms in maths…
We have had some great discussions this week about whether animals should be kept in zoos. Here are some of our reasoned arguments…
You presented your ideas brilliantly 🙂
Enjoy your break everyone, you deserve it xxxx
