In school this week, we have been celebrating Shakespeare Week. The children in Team DB have worked increduously hard at creating their own Shakespeare Poem, based upon the Witches' Spell, from Macbeth. The children unpicked the poem looking for specific detail that would help them when it came to writing their own poems. They then planned their poem, thinking about the most hideous things that they could, and then wrote it out neatly, using their best handwriting.
In reading, the children read an extract from Macbeth, in particular the three witches' scene, and used their retrieval skills to scan and skim for information, locating specific points to answer questions about the text. Take a look at their hard work below.

At Park Street today, the children throuhout school have been celebrating Red Nose Day. The children were invited to wear red for the day and our choice of activity from the School Council, was to decorate biscuits during our Incredible Us! session in the afternoon. Mis Baxter went shopping last night and came back armed with biscuits, icing, red food clouring and sprinkles! The children have enjoyed decorating, and the eating, their own Red Nose Day biscuits. O This week in Science, the children in Team DB have been investigating how the digestive system works by experimenting how the body makes poo! The children could easily describe how the process of digestion begins in the mouth, continuing all way through the digestive system until it comes out of the anus, at the other end! We all had great fun using everyday objects to act as each function of the digestive system, even to Mrs Bamforth having to use her biscuits! Look at the photos below of the how the human body successfully makes poo by digesting the food that we eat. Today, Years 4 and 5 were very lucky to have a visitor in school, to teach us about science. The scientist that came taught the children about different aspects of science, but mainly forces. Some children were lucky to be chosen to addidtant scientists and to help out with the various experiments and investigations. She reminded the children how we needed to stay safe when completing scientific investigations, but above all, how science learning can be fun. Both year groups enjoyed the experience and were very enthusiastic to each of the investigations presented to them, especially when mintoes were added to fizzy pop! KABOOM! During our Incredible Us! session this week, the children have been learning how to make their own corner book marks. With the guidance of Mrs Akyel, Team DB have learned how to create their own origami, corner book mark. The children enjoyed making them, that they didn't stop at one, and started to create more to share with friends and adults throughout school.
Throughout school today, we have seen Albert Einstein, Anne Frank, Emmeline Pankhurst, Julius Caeser, even Bobby Charlton, just to name but a few of the inspirational historical figures walking through Park Street. The children looked amazing dressed up as historical inspirational figures that have made an impact on the modern world, from fashion desingers to astronauts, from World War soldiers to suffragettes. In Team DB, the children brought along a short biography of the person they decided to be, telling others why their person was such an important figure in history. Take a look at their awesome outfits!
The Park Street Eco Warriors recently went out and about Wombwell participating in a Litter Pick. The children were quite surprised at the amount of litter they saw, and collected, on their travels in the local area. As a result, the Eco Warriors suggested that the children of Park Street made their own sculptures using a collection of recyclable materials brought from home. The theme was to be animals. In Team DB, the children worked in teams to desing, build and create their own animal sculpture, only using recyclable materials. The children were amazing. They discussed ideas, worked together, overcame any problems together. They worked superbly together in their teams. The children presented their sculptures to the rest of the class, discussing the animal that they had chosen and why. Here are their final sculptures. Today in Team DB, the children celebrated NSPCC Numbers Day, by wearing a number for the day. The children brought loose change to school so that they could build the tallest money tower! Throughout the day, Team DB celebrated NSPCC Number Day, by taking part in many different fun mathematical activities. It was wonderful to see the children being a number, and the many creative outfits they came wearing to school.
