On Tuesday, year 3 were lucky enough to visit the beautiful Brodsworth Hall exploring the history of the house and it’s links to the transatlantic slave trade. The grounds are absolutely stunning and the children enjoyed looking at all the original pieces of furniture and artefacts inside.

Breaking News! 4TE are first on the scene!
Today, 4TE have become news reporters! Recently, we have been learning about the tarnished history of sugar and its links to slavery. We have specifically been looking at the life and times of Mary Prince – a famous abolishionist. Below is a compilation of various parts of our individual news reports blended into one. The children wrote their own scripts and researched all of the information themselves. This has hopefully culminated in a very professional and informative report!
Newsround Presenters
Today, 3HJ took on the role of news readers, presenting their research about the Triangular Slave trade and the lives of Equiano and Mary Prince. Each group worked well together to plan and write their scripts which were carefully practised and performed to the whole class. Future journalists in the making!
Mary Prince Presentations
Today the children pretended to be news readers and presented their research from yesterday about Mary Prince. They pretended they were the first people to report on Mary Prince, telling the class everything about her, from her time as a slave to the part she played in the abolition of slavery.
Math-Magicians!
4TE have been getting very active and busy with their maths this week! We have been doing some more work on fractions and I can say that with each passing fraction, we are getting better and better!
🎶🎵🎤 Young Voices 2022 🎶🎵🎤
What a fabulous time we all had at the long anticipated Young Voices concert in Sheffield Arena last week. Each and every child was an absolute credit to our school and all sang with such passion. The dances moves weren’t too bad either! 😎 Massive thanks to all the staff who accompanied us too!
Happy, Healthy Me
The summer term has got off to an exciting start with year 5’s immersion into their new expedition: Happy, Healthy Me. Over the course of this week, the children have been getting active (setting new 1 mile PBs and investigating their heart-rate recovery time after exercise), in addition to blind-tasting a range of healthy and unhealthy products and creating some fantastic plague doctor artwork (the focus of our first case study). What a fantastic start to our final expedition!
And We’re Off!
After what I hope was a fantastic Easter, it is absolutely brilliant to see everyone coming back this week and we have hit the ground running! Here in Year 4, we have been immersing ourselves into our new expedition, ‘Why Is Sugar Not So Sweet?’ where we shall be exploring its historic roots, and flavourful present. We have been creating timelines, our own sugary products, and conducting a blind taste test! Over the rest of this final summer term, we have got so many great experiences planned, and I can’t wait to share all of these and all of our learning in the weeks to come!
A History Of Sugar
As part of our new expedition Serious About Sugar, Passionate About People 3LG have been investigating the history of sugar and sweets. Starting in 1538 and going all the way up to modern day we constructed a timeline from the start of the sugar trade to the opening of iconic sweet factories in Doncaster.
