Warmsworth Primary School

Year One!
What a hot day it has been! But, the heat has not stopped us from learning. We have completed our Maths outside in the shade, read our English text under the shadow of a huge tree, and for PE we did a calming yoga in the cool hall.
We have also learned about Amelia Earhart.
We have had regular water breaks, lots of top ups, and kept in the shade as much as possible.

The first two groups of Year 6 children have begun the first of their three Bikeability training sessions. They have had a fantastic day of training and have been commended by the instructors for how well they listened, participated and progressed throughout the day.

Well done to all of our Year 6 cyclists – we look forward to seeing their continued development over the remaining sessions!

Team Sweden (Years 4,5,6) enjoyed Sports Day.

Year 5 enjoyed taking part in The Doncaster Storytelling Festival at Cast on Friday. They had the opportunity to listen to authors talk about their books and take part in an illustration lesson.

Our Warmsworth Choir did themselves proud at Sing Out this week! What a wonderful show. All the children performed brilliantly, and a big thank you to all the adults who came to watch and support their children.

Yesterday, Year 2 had a fantastic time on our school visit to Lotherton Hall, once the home of Florence Nightingale's family.

We met 'Florence' who told us all about her life. 2JM even entertained her with an impromptu rendition of the Florence Nightingale song they have been learning!

The house also has a small wildlife area where the children were able to revisit their science learning about animal habitats. The penguins were a real hit - one of them even popped over to say hello to Mrs McBride's group!

The children were an absolute credit to our school - their behaviour and manners were commented on by the staff of Lotherton, which made us very proud indeed! Well done, Year 2. What a fabulous day!

Year 5 have been developing their sewing skills.

Unfortunately, due to this morning’s rain, we are going to have to cancel this afternoon’s F1pm / F2MF sports day for the safety of everyone.

We appreciate the disappointment this will cause and will look to see if we can plan an alternative 3rd date before the end of the school year.

Thank you

We have been asked to share the following on behalf The Children's Commissioner for England
Good morning,
As Children’s Commissioner, I am writing to ask you to ensure all of your children complete my new survey, The Big Future.
Under the Children Act 2004, it is my role to promote the views and interests of children in England, and I have done this so far by conducting the two largest ever children’s surveys: The Big Ask and The Big Ambition.
Now, for the first time, hundreds of thousands of children will be eligible to vote in the next general election, the biggest change to the franchise in half a century. Yet just one in five children say politicians listen to them. That’s why I’m launching my final survey, The Big Future.
Your students should complete the survey here:
https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/TheBigFuture/
I want to make sure that I hear from as many children as possible, aged 0-18, from all backgrounds, in all schools and colleges, and in every part of the country. To do that, I need your help.
I am asking children about the changes they want to see in their communities, their biggest concerns, and their hopes for the future. More than anything, I want to know what they think a good childhood should look like today.
I am asking you to share the survey with all the children, parents and carers in your school or college community. Schools and colleges that achieve high participation rates will receive formal recognition for their contribution to amplifying children’s voices and encouraging civic engagement, and a summary of their pupils’ responses.
To support you to do this, I have created a pack of resources which include an introductory video, a lesson plan, and FAQs, which are available on my website.
https://www.childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/
I would be grateful if you could ensure that every child in your school or college has taken part before the deadline of Friday 23 October.
I will be publishing my findings next year, and they will be used to advocate at the highest level for solutions that children want to see, to the problems that they tell me are most important to them.
Thank you for your support.
Yours sincerely,
Dame Rachel de Souza

Year 5 have been using the class iPads to order decimals. They considered the place value of each digit and its value before deciding on the correct order. Using their Kagan coaching skills, they supported and guided their shoulder partners throughout the activity.
