Today, we went on a nature walk to Gorse Hall as part of our topic 'Can you survive in the woods?' We explored the outdoors, listened to the animals, we met Mrs Hallam friendly dog and explored the different plants and habitats. We enjoyed being outdoors too! 

As part of outdoor classroom day Year 3 children played traditional games that would have been played during WW2.

What games do you recognise?

Which games do children still play today?

Year 4 set off today on our geography field trip to Portland Basin to discover the waterways. The children explored the differences between the River Tame and the Ashton canal and were fascinated to learn about the use of the canal and spot the differences between the two.  In the afternoon, the class took on a group challenge to design and make a waterwheel. These were amazing, The children were exceptionally well behaved and learnt so much; they made me very proud. 

The rain did not dampen the spirits of the children in Year 1.  They have been making super fairy and pixie houses, looking after blue Alder Beetles and balancing on the slack line.  They also enjoyed playing 123 Where are you?.  I was really impressed by their teamworking skills.

Today we celebrated our Arts Award achievement. Our year 6 pupils received their Arts Award certificate linked to working with an artist in school around the topic of ‘Keen to be Green’. Where we had a focus on our environment and clean air.

Year 4 had the privilege to attend the Year 6 Art's Award celebration assembly today. It was lovely to see them get their awards. Madam Mayor then took a look around school and we were able to ask her some questions. Did you know that her favourite colour is yellow and her chain of office is valued at £100,000?

Well done to all of Year 5 award winners last week who received their certificates in our Merit Assembly!  You are all amazing!  Mrs Blomeley

Year 5 enjoyed their session with Freddy Fit last week!  The class showed amazing stamina and resilience when they engaged in all of the activities!  These included hand to eye coordination games, hoola hooping, skipping and, most importantly, team work!  They were amazing!  Well done Year 5!  Mrs Blomeley

Year 6 you have worked incredibly hard this week and we are all so proud of you.

Well done this this weeks award winners! Keep up the hard work everybody!
