Today, 4TE solved a variety of mathematical conundrums using art sticks! We had to grapple with lots of tricky ideas but through showing some great perseverance, our Crew managed to prevail and solve the questions! Afterwards, we embarked on a treasure hunt of sorts along the school corridors solving a number of different literacy questions. It was a very busy day in 4TE and a great way to conclude a fab week!

Chance To Dance
This year, Y3 are working with the Royal Opera House on the Chance To Dance programme. Through this programme the children will be working on the Royal Ballet Alice in Wonderland. This week the children came up with 8 beat movements that they thought expressed the different characters from the ballet. The children used their imagination to transform into the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, the Queen of Hearts and Alice. They thought about how all the different would act and used this to put together small routines in the style of the Alice ballet.
Comparing numbers with a ‘Twist’
3HJ couldn’t believe their ears when they were given permission to use the tables as jotters this week! You can see the excitement on their faces. Here we are showing our understanding of less than, more than and equal to. A fantastic maths lessons which resulted in wonderful outcomes! I also had plenty of volunteers to clean up too!
The Clean Water Challenge!
This week, our children became scientists for the afternoon and were tasked with the challenge of “cleaning” their dirty water sample. Through sharing ideas, and using a trial and error approach, the pupils constructed their own filtering systems with some real success!
Table Transformations!
4TE ended a fantastic week by getting very creative in maths! Everyone was able to demonstrate their mathematical knowledge and workings out on their tables. The only problem we struggled with, was who was going to clean it all up!
Chance To Dance
Last week saw the launch of our new and exciting dance program ‘Chance To Dance’. Year 3 visited Cast in Doncaster to watch an exceptional performance from the Royal Ballet! Our focus is Alice In Wonderland and we have been working hard to create motifs for the main characters – Alice, The White Rabbit, The Mad Hatter and The Queen of Hearts. Children have thought carefully how to portray their characters through movements and facial expressions which we then put to music!
Doncaster Museum
A sprinkle of magic!
The y5 cohort experienced a magical day at the Warner Bros. Studio Tour! From the moment we arrived, the children were immersed in the captivating world of Harry Potter: learning about the filming process, exploring the film sets, costumes, and even partaking in a game of Quidditch!
A day at Doncaster Museum
Last week year 3 got the chance to visit the brand new Doncaster Museum. After the excitement of travelling on a coach, the children had the opportunity to take part in a fantastic Roman workshop. During the workshop, the children dressed up as Romans and Celts, handled 2000 year old artefacts, designed Roman mosaics and even played Roman board games. After the workshop, we got the opportunity to explore the rest of the museum, with the children taking a particular liking to the interactive art!
The children represented the school wonderfully, and I received lots of lovely feedback from members of the public about how polite and respectful the children had been as they were going around the museum. Well done 3LG!
Down to Doncaster!
Today, Year 4 ventured down to Doncaster Museum to continue learning all about the Romans! The children not only demonstrated their brilliant knowledge about the Romans, but they were also taught new information by an expert and were also able to examine and interact with lots of different Roman artefacts. Alongside this, the children were able to explore all the different areas of the museum as well. As a result, the children today not only expanded their Roman knowledge, but also their knowledge all about the local area and beyond! A great day was had by all!
