Weekly Round Up

We have certainly felt the chill in the air this week (along with some very windy days!) but that hasn’t managed to dull the learning going on at Dormanstown!

Thursday saw our children celebrate National Fitness Day, and across school we saw activities both indoors and out where children had the chance to practice their teamwork, motor skills as well as prove their stamina and determination. Mr Williams our PE lead was delighted with all year groups, and all staff commented how hard children tried in their endeavours.

Elsewhere classes have been coming towards the end of their first writing units, and it has been amazing to read some of the stories and reports which have been created. Children have thought hard about their vocabulary, and it is clear that they are taking great pride in their presentation – we look forward to sharing work with our families and community soon.

Well done to Year 5 who won the highest percentage of Golden Tickets for reading this week with a huge 95%, closely followed on 93% by Year 4. Thank you to all our families for supporting your child to read at home.

We look forward to sharing more news next week!

Class Showcase

What a fantastic Multi-skills event B3 and B4 attended. The children enjoyed taking part in the various games working on the skills that facilitated that sport.

From tag rugby, to netball, to cricket -the children worked together and celebrated their ability in each activity. The smiles, cheer and encouragement was a delight to see.

Well done B3 and B4.

Attendance

Each week we have an ‘Awesome Attendance’ competition for the class or classes with the highest attendance. The class with the highest attendance will receive a letter and the first class to spell out ‘Awesome’ receives a treat for the whole class.

Which class will be the first to receive that treat?

This weeks winners are……….

Missed Learning

 39.5 days of missed learning occurred this week due to unauthorised absences. Unauthorised absences are for holidays, parents/carers not contacting the academy or any other unexplained absence. With most minor ailments, children can be in school, so we really encourage you to think about keeping your child at home.

100% Attendance

This week we had 220 children who achieved 100% Attendance for this week. A huge WELL DONE to you all 😊

Can you get 100% next week?

Missed Appointments

We strive to accommodate parents/carers with appointment times within the academy.

Unfortunately we have noticed that many appointments have been missed, occasionally this may be due to unforeseen circumstances.

If you have to cancel and/or re-arrange your appointment, please ensure you contact the academy as soon as possible.

Failing to turn up for an appointment and not contacting the academy to cancel it has an adverse effect on other parents/carers appointment times. This can also take valuable staff time that could have been utilised by other parents.

Peat Rigg

This week saw our eldest children head off into the wilds of the moors to Peat Rigg!

For some it was their first nights away from home, for others a chance to push themselves and test their limits and fears but for every child it was an amazing opportunity to bond with their friends at the start of an important year of school.

From the first moment to the last every child was AMAZING! They conquered their nerves and threw themselves into every activity with enthusiasm and energy. They climbed trees, scaled rivers, zipped through the trees and scrambled in caves, and were an absolute credit throughout.

They supported each other and helped to keep the group safe, all the while having the BEST time!

We are so proud of the group, and hope you enjoy looking at the photographs of our adventure below!

Welcome back

Welcome back to our first full week of 2023, and what a week it has been! 

It has been amazing to see so many happy, smiling faces as children come back into their new classes, and all the staff have been delighted with how hard children have worked, and how well they have settled back into school! 

We are very proud of all our pupils, and teachers all agreed that choosing Pot of Gold winners this week was incredibly difficult! 

All children should now have received their reading books and home contact reading records. We love reading at our school, and would like to remind you that we do ask children to read at least three times at home over the week, and that if they do so they can win a free book each week in our Golden Ticket draw. We also run our pre-school Starbooks library session every Tuesday, which all families are welcome to join. If you have any questions about reading please speak with your child’s class teacher, or with Mr Mount the school reading lead. 

We are looking forward to letting you know more dates for this term as the diary starts to fill up, so keep an eye on the diary dates below and School Gateway messages for more events coming up over the next few weeks.

This week has been very exciting for us all. We have been reading ‘Super Duper You’ and telling everyone we are super-duper. We have been able to draw what we are super-duper at and write our names. We have also been talking about weather in science- we enjoyed matching weather types to their names and chatting about our favourite weather. In our class, we have lots of OT and movement breaks. We love to dance and move!

Weekly Round Up

Our staff have loved meeting their new classes this week, and we have heard wonderful things about our departing Y6’s from their secondary schools too!

With one more week to go we are really excited to share sports day, reports, summer fair and our transition plans with you next week, and to enjoy our last few days before the summer break.

We also had the chance to celebrate our Diamond Standard winners from throughout the year this week, as the children and families attended a special awards ceremony at Teesside University, sharing the incredible achievements they have made with an audience from across the whole trust.

All year groups would love to share their experiences from transition day with our community, so please find below blog posts from all areas of school sharing the activities children completed – we hope you enjoy seeing what they have been up to!

Class Showcase

It’s transition week! Let’s see how everyone got on in their new classes.

Reception

During Nursery’s transition into Reception this week we talked about celebrating our differences.

We talked about our favorite colours and foods we liked, and we painted self-portraits to show how we are all different. Nursery stayed for dinner twice this week too – we are so impressed with their manners! 

1T

What a wonderful transitional two days we had!

We began our transition by introducing the book ‘Commotion in the Ocean’, the children loved and engaged with the story and this became our stimulus for the two days.

The areas within the continuous provision were themed around this and these included, investigation stations, sorting activities and writing about the different sea creatures.

Throughout the two days, we worked collaboratively in the different areas and explored what meant to be collaborative. We then looked at a range of mediums that we could use in our artwork. Our task was to produce a sketch of a sea creature. We then created a collage of our artwork that will be displayed in our classroom. This will remind us how sharing, team work and working collaboratively can produce something to be proud of.

2C

We had a wonderful start to Year 2 this week! In English, we spent time reading the book ‘The Bog Baby,’ a story about two sisters who go fishing in a magic pond and find something much better than a frog or newt!

We thought of exciting adjectives to describe a Bog Baby and then wrote our own character descriptions. Miss Clark was really impressed with our ideas! We then created a habitat for Bog Baby, using collage, watercolours and pencils.

We made our own Bog Babies out of playdough and added them to the habitats we had made.

In Maths, we worked collaboratively to solve addition problems and had lots of fun in PE completing teambuilding activities. Well done everyone!

3L

During transition this week the new year 3’s have enjoyed learning about The Smartest Giant in Town.

In English they enjoyed writing a thank you letter to George for helping the different animals within the story as well as buying George an outfit to wear with £20 and working out how much change was left over. They also enjoyed creating a new pair of funky trainers for George to wear.

We were so impressed with their creativity.

4H

Over transition, the new Year 4’s have focussed on the value of inspiration we looked at the local international footballer, ’Beth Mead’.

The children were inspired to dream big and we created our own graffiti style slogan’s to inspire others. The children showed a fantastic attitude and curiosity to all the work they were asked to complete! We are looking forward to having a brilliant year, next year!

5H

We had a really fun few days as year 5.

We based a lot of our work on the book ‘Journey’ which is a wordless book full of fantastic illustrations. We created landscapes from the book using sketching, watercolours and oil pastels.

We made predictions and used inference skills in English lessons and finally in Maths we had to use all of our knowledge to crack a code! 

6A

To mark the end of their primary school journey, the year six children had a fantastic day out to the cinema, followed by a play on the beach and a visit to the new park on Redcar seafront.

The children had a fabulous day, and it was made even better by the warm, sunny weather.

The children also received their leavers hoodies which they all wore.

They were certainly tired out after walking there and back as well as all the playing in-between.  

B2S

The new B2S have enjoyed their transition week.

We have been reading different pirate stories and doing lots of work on pirates.

We created some lovely art work using our hands and made our own pirate underpants.

We made pirate hats, avoided the sharks and made wanted posters to help find those pesky pirates.

We have even written a message in a bottle. I wonder if we get a reply.

Attendance

Each week we have an ‘Awesome Attendance’ competition for the class or classes with the highest attendance. The class with the highest attendance will receive a letter and the first class to spell out ‘Awesome’ receives a treat for the whole class.

Which class will be the first to receive that treat?

This weeks winners are……….

Missed Learning

69 days of missed learning occurred this week due to unauthorised absences. Unauthorised absences are for holidays, parents/carers not contacting the academy or any other unexplained absence. With most minor ailments, children can be in school, so we really encourage you to think about keeping your child at home.

100% Attendance

This week we had 218 children who achieved 100% Attendance for this week. A huge WELL DONE to you all 😊

Can you get 100% next week?

Missed Appointments

We strive to accommodate parents/carers with appointment times within the academy.

Weekly Round up

This week our Year 6’s have had a really busy time! 

Firstly, the girls were involved in their final Rubies session, before a group of students attended Outward Academy – ahead of the full Y6 transition which happens next week. We can’t believe they are nearly ready for secondary, but are sure they will have a great time when they move on with the next phase of their education. 

On Thursday the full Y6 cohort had a day to remember, donning their leavers hoodies before a trip to the cinema and afternoon spent playing games and rock pooling on Redcar beach! 

 Elsewhere, B3G welcomed in parents for a fun session based on the learning they have completed this half term, and our Power of Women group headed out to learn more about their project, which will later be fed out to other children within the academy. 

Next week sees transition for all year groups, and all the staff are very excited to meet their new classes and learn more about them! 

Wishing all our families and community a lovely weekend! 

Class Showcase

This week it’s the turn of Nursery and Reception to show us what they’ve been up to.

Nursery

This term in Nursery we have been learning all about Minibeasts. On Monday we were fortunate enough to have a visit from a local beekeeper. The children learnt all about bees and even got to sample some honey!

Reception

Last week we went to Redcar College and took part in a range of fun sporting activities. We did lots of exercise and worked collaboratively with our friends.

We have also been reading The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch. We have role-played the story and made zip lines and pulleys to move the basket from the White Cottage to the Lighthouse so Mr Grinling could have his lovely lunch. 

We also made a range of fabulous models from the story using recycled materials.

Weekly Round Up

We have had a great week this week, and as we approach our final weeks of the term all the staff would like to say a huge thank you to all our families and community for their ongoing support. This week teachers have been looking through assessments and books as they begin to prepare children for the next year of their school adventure, and it has been incredibly clear how much progress all pupils have made, and the unbelievable difference between the work they completed in September and now – and we are very proud of them all! 

In academy, we have had several visits and activities this week including: the reception Funky Monkey sport festival, which include balancing, obstacle races and a treasure hunt; parental engagement sessions in both B1R and Year 6 – it was lovely to see so many of you in attendance and sports day for some of our youngest pupils in nursery who were just amazing! 

Next week sees the start of some of our Year 6 students transition to secondary schools, and we wish them all luck on their upcoming visits – we are sure they will be incredible! 

Class Showcase

Let’s see what B1R, B2S and B3G have been up to lately.

B1R

This half term, B1R have been enjoying the glorious weather and have been spending a lot of time outside.

We have enjoyed challenging ourselves on the playground obstacle course, riding around on the bikes and exploring new areas in our outdoor area.

B2S

Once again, B2S have been incredibly busy with lots of learning. This week we have been reading Goldilocks and the Three Bears. We have been acting out the story and we have been retelling the story in our books.

In maths, we have been learning to subtract in lots of different ways. We have been using the beads to take away, crossing out pictures and using a number line.

Lastly, we had a parental engagement and our parents came in and enjoyed having some stay and play time with B2S. We coloured in, showed our parents our independent areas , built Lego and read to each other. It was a very nice and calm afternoon.

B3G

B3G have been busy this half term. We have been focusing on what happens to our food when we eat. This was introduced by focusing on teeth and recognising that we have canines too. Maths has been fun and busy.

The children had to work out how many seconds it took to complete an activity and work out who was either the fastest or best at hooping.

Also our year 5’s have had the opportunity to visit the local secondary school and take part in sports, science and DT activities.

Attendance

Each week we have an ‘Awesome Attendance’ competition for the class or classes with the highest attendance. The class with the highest attendance will receive a letter and the first class to spell out ‘Awesome’ receives a treat for the whole class.

Which class will be the first to receive that treat?

This weeks winners are……….

Missed Learning

78.5 days of missed learning occurred this week due to unauthorised absences. Unauthorised absences are for holidays, parents/carers not contacting the academy or any other unexplained absence.

With most minor ailments, children can be in school, so we really encourage you to think about keeping your child at home.

100% Attendance

This week we had 204 children who achieved 100% Attendance for this week. A huge WELL DONE to you all 😊

Can you get 100% next week?

Missed Appointments

We strive to accommodate parents/carers with appointment times within the academy.

Unfortunately we have noticed that many appointments have been missed, occasionally this may be due to unforeseen circumstances.

If you have to cancel and/or re-arrange your appointment, please ensure you contact the academy as soon as possible.

Failing to turn up for an appointment and not contacting the academy to cancel it has an adverse effect on other parents/carers appointment times. This can also take valuable staff time that could have been utilised by other parents.

Diary Dates and Reminders

Sports Afternoon

Passion for Fashion

CBBC are looking for budding young designers aged 10-14 years old, (they must be aged 11 by September 1^st 2023) 

In each episode we will see young creative minds come together to create bold and colourful outfits reusing, re-claiming and upcycling fabulous fashion by using only vintage, second-hand and sustainable materials. 

The children will need to be great designers but do not necessarily have to be great with a sewing machine as they’ll be paired with a creative who can help them cut/sew/stitch/paint their outfits within a few hours!
