The Y6 girls’ took part in the U11 EFL cup at the Nest. They played some great football and scored a lot of amazing goals. After winning their group and going through to the semi final, they got through to the final having not conceded a goal throughout the five games. The girls’ were showed grit, determination and teamwork all day but narrowly lost in the final to finished second – what an achievement overall.
We had a fantastic time at Bookbugs and Dragon Tales bookshop this week, where some of our children in Reception and Year 2 got the opportunity to meet the author and illustrator of ‘Out of the Blue’ and do some fun activities. They also got to take part in a question and answer session and asked some brilliant questions. We all had a great time visiting this amazing bookshop!
Year 6 created wonderful Mayan prints this week in Art. Inspired by the geometric shapes and repeating patterns used by the Maya people, children first made cardboard tiles and glued on their designs using string. They then painted the string on the tile and pressed down onto their piece of paper using a variety of colours. They all used their creativity and concentration crowns during this process!
This week, we have been exploring playdough inside and outside. We have been inspired by St Valentine’s Day and created hearts and cakes.
Year 4 applied their knowledge of electrical circuits to create their own Ted Hughes style ‘Iron Man’. The children created a simple series circuit for each LED to light up. Many children then decided to add a switch into their circuits so that they could turn the Iron Man’s eyes on and off!
Les Herissons (and all of Year 3) have loved learning about the Ancient Egyptians.
Look at these amazing non-chronological reports they have produced in writing!
They have so much knowledge and we are all so proud of them.
Yesterday we welcomed visitors from a range of companies to help host our annual careers fair. Year 6 pupils got to find out about careers in technology, engineering, environmental sciences, media, firefighting and town planning. Thank you so much to everyone who gave up their time to help our pupils find out more about future career options.
Year 2 finished their textiles artwork this week by using their handmade relief blocks to print repeating patterns on to their dip dyed fabric. They used their concentration skills and created some fantastic final pieces.
What an amazing turn out for our workshare this afternoon! Thank you to everyone for coming and helping to celebrate the children’s learning across the school. 🎖️
The upper KS2 performance club treated staff and parents to a live performance after school today.
They showcased their hard work from this half term, presenting the song ‘a little circus’.
Their singing and choreography was amazing! We are very proud of their efforts.
Thank you to Miss Graham for using her talents to inspire our mini actors/actresses!
