A good first week back
The children have settled back into school well, they have worked hard, really enjoyed being with their friends and supported each other when they have had difficult moments.
Thank You!
As we reach the end of lockdown, I would like to say a massive thank you to all of you for the support that you have given your children and the school over the past 2 months. I know it has not always been easy but I am grateful for the way that you have engaged with the work and been open enough to let me know when there have been struggles. Let us hope that we can now enjoy the rest of the academic year in a more normal way!
Have a great weekend.

Thank You
As we end the fourth week of the current lockdown, I would like to say a huge thank you to you all, children and parents, for the incredible effort you are putting in at the moment. I know it is not easy and we all have our bad days but the participation in Teams meetings and with the work is truly appreciated.
I would also like to thank the children who we have in school for their efforts and not forgetting the support staff who are working with them each day.
I hope you all have a pleasant weekend, take care and stay safe!
In these challenging times.
I know that many of us are finding the current lockdown to be very stressful and it is important that we are always here to support one another. I want to share with you some wise words of advice which Lulu's mum wrote in an email to me yesterday.
"A moment of peace and a smile are powerful enough to change the day."
These words are so true and will stay with me throughout these trying times. Do try to find something each day to enjoy and take a little time to appreciate the good things you have. Take care.

Thank You!
I would like to say a massive THANK YOU to you all, children and parents, for the engagement in our work this week.
To the children, thank you for completing so many tasks and for sending the work and photos in. It has been great to catch up with so many of you in our daily check ins and hopefully it won't be too long before we are back together in person.
To the parents, I know it is incredibly difficult for you having to juggle your own work and be there for your children's work too, yet the way you have responded has been brilliant.
Finally, I would also like to thank Mrs Lewis, Mr Wells, Miss Hughes and Mrs Pennington for supporting the children in our lower key stage two bubble at school and for ensuring that they too have been supported in their learning.
Have a great weekend and see you next week.

Message from Fr Darren
Dear Steve,
I just want you to know that I received so much from visiting you and your class today. It did me the power of good.
Over recent months I have found myself dealing with many things that feel unrelated to what I am trained for as a priest. It has been far from easy.
Talking about the Holy Family was a joy, it made feel alive again.
Thank you
God Bless
Fr Darren

Stone Soup
In RE today we have been looking at the story, 'Stone Soup,' and the children would like to have a go at making their own soup. Therefore, on Thursday if as many children as possible could bring in one vegetable we will have a go at making our soup,
I have attached the story as a separate document so you can have a read of it.
It really is a great example of sharing.

As this week is assessment week and we will be doing a number of tests in class we will not be having a spelling or tables test. These will resume in the new year.
Year 3 Museum Visit
Year 3 visited Doncaster Museum as part of their topic on Ancient Egypt. They impressed the guides, Ashleigh and Sam, with their prior knowledge and learned a great deal more through their workshop entitled,'What no mummy?'
As always, the behaviour shown by the children throughout the day was excellent and I would like to say I am proud of the class I am for their efforts/
The class would like to thank Mrs Hamilton and Mr Eyre for joining them on the trip.

RUNNERS UP 2019
We collected our medals from Nicky at the Lovell building site.
We are very proud of our artistic achievements!
Stop the Drop!
We did a litter pick around the school grounds. Just look at the amount of litter bags we filled from our school ground in half an hour!
We have been working with Katie from Green Energy again. We looked at the problems of litter and we were amazed at the number of years it takes for litter to break down for examples, a nappy takes five hundred years to degrade and a plastic bottle NEVER!
On Tuesday 25th September we enjoyed an evening at the theatre
Welcome to Year 3!
