Today in year 2 we have completed our super hero training.
The children had lots of fun testing their speed, strength and agility on the equipment and I am pleased to say they all passed and received their certificates at the end of the day.
We have all been so excited to show off our superhero costumes today and have enjoyed explaining in our crews what makes our chosen superheroes special.
We’ve been busy designing and making our superhero shields and completing our paintings to add the finishing touches to our classroom environment.
Following on from our visit from Mayor Ros Jones yesterday we decided to hold our own class elections. The children wrote and shared their own pledges for the year – they made some fantastic pledges which will make our classroom an incredible place to be!
We finished off the speeches with a vote.
Big congratulations to………………….(drum roll please)………. Skyler!!
It was a very close election with Ella and Toby being voted our Deputy Mayors.
I was blown away with the thoughtful and mature pledges you all made also how you all stood up and spoke so confidently and clearly at the podium in front of the whole class – well done everyone!
Do you have a child that turns three on their next birthday? (before September 2022?) Applications for Nursery places now open – please apply online through Doncaster admissions here.
Don’t forget if you recommend a friend to our school and they tell us on this form then your child and their child both receive a free hoodie when the new admission starts school…
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.
We have spent time today writing a protocol for expert visits. We talked about how we could use our habits of work and learning to help us – we are very excited to put our protocol to use tomorrow with our first expert visit.
Today we started the day by completing a collaborative piece of art work all about superheroes – we wondered if this could be a hint for our new expedition?
