“God Bless Us, Every One!”

9th December 2021Rachael Smith

As part of our Christmas Expedition slice, year 5 have stepped into the streets of Dickensian London where they have encountered the covetous, old sinner, Ebenezer Scrooge! After recreating the famous character description of A Christmas Carol’s frightful protagonist, the pupils have worked collaboratively to generate powerful vocabulary that will enable them to produce a contrasting description, following Scrooge’s transformation at the end of the novella. What better way to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

2nd December 2021Helen Jenkins

Yesterday, 3HJ saw the return of our very own pesky elf – Egbert! We noticed that he had climbed into our Christmas tree and hidden amongst the branches with a letter from Santa at the North Pole.

Crew Jenkins really got into the Christmas spirt decorating the Christmas tree and adding lots of tinsel to the classroom! I really hope our friend Egbert isn’t going to be too much trouble!

Why should Doncaster remember the Romans?

12th November 2021Helen Jenkins

Yesterday, our Year 3 children embarked on a trip around Doncaster town centre, looking for clues to help answer our guiding question of “Why should Doncaster remember the Romans?” We had a thoroughly exciting day, which kicked off by catching the local bus into the town centre, finding the “Frenchgate’ and Baxtergate” as well as exploring the site of the Roman Fort in the grounds of Doncaster Minister. All our children were a credit to Norton Junior School and many members of the public commented on how sensibly they behaved on their journey into town and back. Absolute superstars!!
