Below you will find weekly tasks that will help meet our learning targets but just as importantly contribute to our final product: an information text detailing all that is great about our town Doncaster.
Below you will find weekly tasks that will help meet our learning targets but just as importantly contribute to our final product: an information text detailing all that is great about our town Doncaster.
Unlike in previous weeks, you will notice that there are fewer tasks to complete. However, the activities given now have greater instruction, include good models, require more thought and a greater level of effort. This requires you to draft and re-draft pieces of work, taking care and attention throughout so that the final piece is to a good, if not excellent standard. Indeed, we can see that some children have already produced outstanding work during immersion week and you will find some of these pieces in the 'beautiful work' page of the website. Please complete at least two of the tasks given although the order in which you do them is completely up to yourself. As always, please send your work into your year groups email or share it using Google Suite which our children now have access to.

Our Case Study: Eat, drink, dance and shop
Our Case Study: Eat, drink, dance and shop
Our case study focuses on what Doncaster has to offer in terms of shopping, dining and culture and we will explore how this has developed through time and continues to develop in the future. The main focus being on The Frenchgate, Doncaster Museum and Art Gallery and CAST Theatre. Over the past decade or so, there have been significant changes made to the town centre. With the development of the interchange and Frenchgate centre to the construction of the new CAST Theatre, Doncaster continues to build upon its cultural heritage.

The Frenchgate centre, which opened in 1968, has gone through a major overall over the years with more variety of shops and resteraunts to cater for varied age ranges than ever before. A friendly and welcoming visitor attraction, Doncaster Museum and Art Gallery tells the story of the town from the end of the last ice age to the present day with a range of artifacts to spark curiosity in all. With the demolition of the old Civic theatre, came the construction of CAST. The CAST Theatre is a fine example of how Doncaster is investing in evolving its culture. With production groups, comedians and musical artists from across the world performing amazing shows on a weekly basis, CAST Theatre continues to grow into one of Doncaster's cultural landmarks.

As more resteraunts now open near The Dome, and the development of a new cinema and shopping precinct begins to emerge near the central library, this ex coal mining town is now establishing itself as the place in South Yorkshire to eat, drink, dance and shop!

We will present the children's learning through this website but also create an information board that will show all the great attractions that Doncaster has to offer. With the current situation we find ourselves in, the task of achieving high quality learning and high quality outcomes will be challenging, but we believe in the resilience of our children, our families and our school staff to create extraordinary outcomes in these extraordinary circumstances.

It's certainly been a year to remember but even though we may not have been able to spend as much time as we would have liked together, the memories that we created, the laughter we had and the learning we did together will be cherished.

You have all worked incredibly hard this year and each and every one of you deserve nothing but the best for the rest of your time at Norton Junior School and both myself and Mrs Gracey have thoroughly enjoyed teaching you.
