Year 4’s Rocking Assembly

15th February 2023L Davison

This morning, Year 4 took to the stage to show off all that they have learned about rocks and fossils during their ‘Rocky the Findasaur’ theme. They learned about different types of rocks and soils and how they make up the layers of the Earth. They also learned about the pioneer, Mary Anning and her incredible discovery of the ichthyosaur fossil. She led the way not just for paleontologists but for the recognition of women as scientists too.

Well done Year 4 you did a fantastic job!

1 Red are making music

Unity In The Community is a lovely theme which teaches us all about our surrounding areas and to look at them in different ways.  We have been looking at not taking our lovely area for granted and to think about it with positivity.  We had a look at some very boring signs that we often see in the area around us and we decided to allocate each sign a sound.  After a while we realised that we had become composers and had created a musical story.  We then used 2Simple to generate our story and listened to our creations.  Look out Top Of The Pops!

Mental Health Week 2023

The theme of this Years Mental Health Week is ‘Let’s Connect’. Connection is vital for our wellbeing.  Let’s Connect is about making meaningful connections and Miss Smith from the Healthy Minds Team came into school to today and delivered and assembly to encourage our children (and staff) to connect with others in healthy, rewarding, and meaningful ways.

To celebrate Mental Health Week in school and to raise awareness of the importance of children’s mental health we have completed lots of different activities in class through out the week.

 

 

School Council and Eco Warriors Bird Feeder Project

7th February 2023K Richardson

Last week the School Council and Eco Warriors worked together on a bird feeder project. We had a visit from Groundworks who talked to the children about visiting the tip, why you would go and what the children had dropped off.  We then discussed how we deal with rubbish and recycling and the importance of 3 R’s –  Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!
We learned the importance of keeping the earth happy and the damage of climate change.  The teams made bird feeders from recyclable material and then we hung them around our gardens!  The two groups worked so well together and were a credit to us all.

 

Year 3- Magnetic Hunt!

6th February 2023ashleigh clark

In our May The Force Be With You theme, Year 3 have been investigating which objects a magnet will attract and repel. We decided the best way to do this was to have a magnetic hunt around school!  We enjoyed visiting the corridors, the sensory area and the library and used our magnets to investigate which objects will be attracted to the magnet and which will repel.

We had lots of fun!
