Raising money for Children In Need.

Launching our new topic 'Memory Box'. Mrs Ridgway came to tell us what life was like when she was a little girl. No television, computers or mobile phones but lots of fun skipping and playing with her teddy and dolls.

National Poetry Day - Performing our animal-themed poem

Autumn 1

Paws, Claws and Whiskers.

Soft fur, sharp claws, twitching whiskers - the children will be finding out what their favourite animal is. Is it one that meows? One that barks? maybe one that scurries or slithers?

From pets at home to animals in the zoo, they will discover what animals like to eat and where they like to sleep. Do they know how to look after a rabbit? A cat? Or even a snake?

They might find out how the elephant got his trunk and how the rhinoceros got his leathery skin or maybe how the dog got his waggy tail! They will learn how to create a food chain to show who eats who. Which animals are herbivores and which are carnivores?

They will learn how to take care of pets - how to feed them, clean them and look after their daily needs.

Olympic Day

Dominic Cunningham spent the day last week sharing his love of sport. Dominic has represented Great Britain at many levels in gymnastics and is in training to join the gymnastics team for the Olympics in 2010.

Dominic led led the whole school in circuit training and then wowed the children with his gymnastic abilities, doing back flips, cartwheels and head stands to great applause!

Today, Google Expeditions came into school to show off their new education app 'Expedition.' By using virtual reality technology, pupils were transported to various places around the world including underwater reefs, the Galápagos Islands, and even some volcanoes. All of this through a simple free app from the App Store and the play Store. Year One had a fantastic time landing on the mon, searching for moon buggies and exploring craters.

Autumn 2 2016

On Friday, the whole school took part in raising money for Children in Need. All the children - and staff - came dressed up in spotty clothes or as Pudsey Bear.

The children also thought about what it means to be a great friend. They all made a link that became part of a whole school paper chain, each one sharing a message of friendship.

Rio Week

The whole school will be celebrating the Rio Olympics this week. They will be baking, competing in various Olympic games and sports, completing maths and English themed challenges and celebrating in style with a mini carnival. The week started off with the whole school beginning to learn a salsa dance. The children have already started their sponsored walk to raise money for a climbing wall and netball posts.

We spent Monday afternoon learning new sports that athletes compete in during the Paralympics. We learnt lots of new skills. We learnt how it might feel not to be able to see by wearing blindfolds.
