Better World Day
Today we came dressed in yellow and blue for Better World Day 2022. We chose yellow and blue as our theme in support of Ukraine.
🎶🎵🎤 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!
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.
And our new expedition is ……..
⭐️ Twinkle Twinkle Little Star ⭐️
We have had a brilliant last week of term making music and playing Twinkle Twinkle’ on the glockenspiel. 3HJ excelled in keeping time, playing with tunes, tones and creating melodies. We have a whole class full of talented musicians,
A Musical Masterpiece
As an end to Case Study Three, 3LG had a fabulous time this afternoon making music and playing instruments. We can now officially play Twinkle Twinkle on the glockenspiel! It has been so exciting playing around with tunes, tones and melodies over the last few weeks, cumulating in playing a song today.
Case Study 3 – Music
3HJ have thoroughly embraced our third and final case study. This week has seen us stacking ostinato, reading rhythms and playing them simultaneously using non-tuned percussion.
Who? With what? And where?
Maths lessons are far more enjoyable when they include a murder mystery! This week, y5 put their investigative skills to the test to solve the mystery of who murdered the young millionaire, Henry Baskerville, following a dinner party at Baskerville Hall. Our young detectives had to calculate the perimeter of all the rooms in the hall in order to generate an 8-digit code, which opened the padlocked journal of the murderer. Who needs Sherlock Holmes with y5 on the case!
