🌎 Why should we help our planet survive? – Hook Week

Thrown into the vast and dense Amazon Rainforest, 6CC have answered the call of planet Earth’s SOS to learn about the importance of this natural beauty and the to raise awareness of its vital role in regulating our world’s climate.

This week, years 5 & 6 have been introduced to several of the endangered species inhabiting ‘the lungs of the world’ and where they belong in this complex eco system. 6CC have produced wonderful piece of split artwork through teamwork and determination, as well as creating their own plea to stop deforestation via a group made news report. 📽️

Why should we help our planet survive?

The children have had a super start to 2022 and have thrown themselves into our new expedition: Why should we help our planet survive? This expedition will focus on the Amazon Rainforest and the animals and people that live there. We will discover how important it is to protect the rainforest linked to climate change and global warming. During hook week, the pupils learnt about deforestation through writing their own news reports and created some amazing group artwork of rainforest animals using mixed media.

Christmas Quiz Madness!

It was final week before Christmas and all were relaxed, quietly reading their reading book. Then, Mr Cicero thought it best to introduce his big Christmas Quiz…

The tranquility was shattered. Friendships fractured (momentarily). Christmas chaos had well and truly begun!

Safe to say, 6CC fully enjoyed the start to their week! 👏🏻👍🏼😂

Stockings of success!

The class enjoyed sinking their teeth (or needles rather) into the task of making their own Christmas stockings from scratch. With resilience and the support of their parents, guardians and teachers, the class produced some fine, festive designs. Thank you to all the adults who came in to visit their children. We hope you have a very, merry Christmas! 🎄

Need for steam (and speed)!

Year 6 enjoyed a thrilling trip to the recently opened Danum museum in Doncaster City Centre on Wednesday. Learning about Doncaster’s deep rail heritage that began with George Edmundson; the classes learned about the mechanic of steam locomotives as well as the business brought to Doncaster that developed it into one of the UK’s industrial heavy weights.

Definitely worth a family visit!

Crazy Crew Caricatures!

As part of our Friday crew session, 6CC took it upon themselves to creatively reimagine each other through the artistic scope of Caricature.

As you can imagine, the excessively large noses, bulging eyes and wacky jawlines resulted in quite a roar of laughter. Full of smiles and laughter, perfect way to begin the end of the week!

Doncaster Plant Works!

On Monday, 6CC delved into the industrial history of “The Plant” aka Doncaster Plant Works. This organisation provided Victorian Doncaster with new employment opportunities as well as a name for producing some of the world’s most famous locomotives.
