Yesterday, Year 4 had the fantastic opportunity to venture up to Campsmount to take part in an afternoon of scentific discovery! We made sandtimers, pendulums and exploded some balloons with oranges! The children had a brilliant time!
What an amazing experience Y4 children had today with our visit to Campsmount Academy as part of this year’s science week. For many of our year 4 pupils, this was their first visit to Campsmount and what a wonderful, positive and awe inspiring first experience they had. Mr Wilson and his magnificent team organised an array of enthralling investigations, exciting experiments and daring demonstrations that left the jaws of our pupils trailing off the floor in astonishment.
As a year group and staff team, we are very grateful for how both the staff and students facilitated the afternoon and provided wonderful opportunities for our young scientists to be, well, young scientists!
This week we’re proud to share the beautiful story of UKS2s Expedition from last term ‘Earth Emergency’. The carefully designed planters and greenhouse will surely be a catalyst for Plover growing its own produce for generations to come!
For anyone who missed it – XP Doncaster has been featured in a BBC Two documentary which aired on the 7th March. All episodes are available on BBC iPlayer now.
We’d like to thank everyone who has got in touch or left a comment about the programme – we are so proud of our students and how eloquently they expressed how they feel about their school.
If you’d like to learn more about our schools and how you can do what we do too, you can get a copy of our book How We XP here.

A wonderful World Book Day was enjoyed by all yesterday! The children in 4TE started the day being welcomed into school by Willy Wonka himself! Then, they spent the morning with Year 3 before becoming immersed in all things pirates in the afternoon! It was a really lovely day and a great way to end the week!
What an absolutely magnificent, magical and majestic day we have had across Norton Campus today. Special praise is reserved for our fabulous Friends of Norton Campus Association who have worked feverishly to ensure the day has been extra special – from the entrance into school to providing a ‘Wonka’ bar for each and every pupil. And of course, who can forget the appearance of a certain Mr Willy Wonka himself who brought the day to life with his enthusiasm and energy – all hail Mr Carr!
At NJS, we swapped over classes and participated in a variety of activities that promoted reading and celebrated some of the world’s most famous children’s authors . Welcomed into 4GC were Mrs Jenkins class who examined the artwork and illustrations of Roald Dahl’s Matilda. Of course, in the style of Quentin Blake we created our own.
This week has seen us adding the final touches to our Lowery inspired pictures which will be our final product for our current expedition. After practicing, 5HJ added people to their Doncaster scenes and what a good job they have done. The proportion and detail are fantastic! 😊
Crew Reading
In the morning, Crew Cicero took the time to visit their partner crew – Crew Wojcik – at Norton Infant School. It was lovely to have the children bridge the age gap by sharing and enjoying the stories from many different books.
World Book Day 2024! Oompa Loompa ingredient hunt and chocolate tasting
During World Book Day, 3RH and 6CC had the opportunity to learn about chocolate tasting and to experience several different varieties in a tasting event. The majority of the children decided that dark chocolate did not agree with their palette, however they excellently described each variety with a powerful range of adjectives. After locating the lost secret ingredients to Wonka’s chocolate that had been dispersed throughout school, the children then designed their own chocolate wrappers. A very successful – and very chocolatey – World Book Day!
6EG have been letting their artistic talents shine through this week, using Lowry and Doncaster as inspiration. They have worked hard to perfect their perspectives and sketch detail on the various buildings.
What an amazing time children from NJS had at the 2024 Young Voices concert. The Young Voices experience is not just a childrenās choir concert but the largest childrenās choir concert in the world. All members of staff were so proud of the way the children put their all into singing each of the songs and the dance moves were pretty cool too! 😊
