4 of our fabulous mathematicians gave up their Sataurday morning to attend a Maths Conundrum at Westbourne School. The children completed against other Y5 and Y6 pupils from across Sheffield. Team work was essential, inaddition to a fluid and deep understanding of maths. The team were great ambassadors of Dore Primary School.
As part of our “Y4 Go Wild!” learning journey, Y4 were inspired by the idea of creating ‘flying cars’, like in this picture. In science, we found out how to create electrical circuits, and how to represent these circuits on paper using the correct symbols. We did this using battery packs, crocodile clips and lightbulbs, […]
We had 3 teams from Dore run at this event, along with one Y6 girl who competed in team made up of competitiors from more than one school and finished third overall. Every child ran their heart out and gave their best performance of the season. The weather was awful too! Wet and windy. The […]

It was fantastic to see the development during the morning – both in terms of confidence and […]
Y4 had a great time on World Book Day creating characters from our favourite books. This activity allowed us to have conversations about the characters we recreated, letting the rest of the class pick up some great book recommendations in the process.
In the final events of the individual and team season (relays still to come) our Y3/4 boys finished 4th team overall just a few points behind Dobcroft ‘B’ team. The Y5/6 boys finished 2nd overall, with one of our athletes getting yet another top 10 finish. Despite not having the members needed for the team […]
To support our understanding of the Ancient Greek world, we learned about why loose-fitting garments like ‘chitons’ would be comfortable in the Greek climate. To create our own chiton (for a teddy), we used some scraps of material to practice running stitch, which we had learned in Y3. We then learned how to do backstitch, […]
