Super proud of 4KC for all their efforts throughout our final case study. This afternoon we had an amazing puppet show! They showcased their incredible hand made puppets in their very own plays. What a show it was!
Over the last couple of weeks, the children have been working hard on finishing their puppets. It has been a challenging task to get done but the children have demonstrated resilience when finding things difficult, supporting others when they need help and working together as a team. The puppets look fantastic so well done to all the children in Y3!
Year 6 have been super busy this week completing their pop art pictures of emergency services heroes ready to go on our posters which will be displayed in Co-op in Askern and Morrison’s on York Road! Here is just a small selection of 6SO’s creations. We think you’ll agree they are outstanding!
Dear Community
After a rigorous recruitment process we are delighted to say that Miss Tunney has accepted our offer to be the new Headteacher of Norton Junior School, alongside her role as Headteacher of Norton Infant School. The Local Governing Committee, Staff Panel and Executive Team were unanimous in their decision to appoint Miss Tunney. Miss Tunney will continue to lead her wider leadership team to further improve Crew, Expeditions and High quality student work.
We are all very excited to see how Miss Tunney will drive improvement across both schools.
Well done Miss Tunney

Our puppets are well and truly on the way to being completed. This week we have cut out our designs using a seam allowance and used a running stitch to join all the different parts. All the children have worked really hard to make sure their stitches were neat and straight! A great job by all!
This week, Year 6 have been learning about all things angles related in maths! Today, 6SO competed against each other in pairs to see who could accurately estimate the size of an angle and draw it precisely before checking how close they were with a protractor. The closer there angle was the the right size, more more points they received! Take a look at the fantastic work that went on below and the amazing jottings that the students made.
After learning about the Pop Art movement in the 1960s, our children have been busy creating some eye-catching Pop Art pieces, based on the professions of the experts that visited us last week. The pupils have worked extremely hard to ensure their work is vibrant, bold and exciting. Here is a small selection of their beautiful work.
Expeditionary DT. So, as part of our learning, we have watched, analysed and evaluated a number of Punch and Judy Plays from yesteryear as per our Expedition: ‘A child through time.’ Following this, we have wrote our own play scripts and designed hand puppets that can be used to perform them. As a consequence, we have been working hard on our sewing skills in preparation for stitching together the front and back of our hand puppets along with all of the little additions that they have (yes, Judy does have a slapstick). Here are some lovely photos that show Crew 4GC hard at it…
