Well done to everyone who entered the British Science Week poster competition about connections.

I met with Mrs Blomeley and the Pupil Leaders this week to choose our school winners which was a very difficult decision.

Our KS1 winner is Nora!

Our KS2 winners are Matilda in Y5 and Sam G, Harriet, Thomas O and Boyd in Y6.

Well done to you all :)

Miss Harvey

Well done to our Stars this week Jack and Henry. 

Jack is really working hard on improving his writing and I am really impressed with his informal letter from a migrant this week.

Henry has contributed so well to our P4C sessions and I love how confidently he puts across his viewpoints. Keep this up.

Our Good to be Green winners are Daniel and Lexi for being outstanding role models! 

This week year 6 have enjoyed trialling some activities which we may use in our Science Fair which is on Monday 27th March- it is lovely to listen to them consolidate their previous learning by setting up activities linked to scientific knowledge they have built up at school.

We can't wait until Monday to do the real thing!

Year 6 are really enjoying their P4C sessions on extremism. This week we have looked at our own identity and what it is to be a human. I have been impressed with their sensible approach to these sessions and how they discuss and listen to each other's viewpoints. 

Fantastic work this week from all our award winners. Congratulations Year 4. 

Year 3 enjoyed a science lesson with a difference- they actually had a lesson on magnets and magnetic forces at Rayner Stephens High School.

Children enjoyed using magnets, iron fillings and compasses.

Excellent behaviour and skills shown today.

Year 3 children learnt what STEM stands for and spent their workshop time improving their skills.

Children used engineering skills to build a robotic machine out of Lego. They then used iPads to write algorithms to programme and control their robotic model.

A fantastic day, lots of learning in an enjoyable way.

Some Year 5 and 6 pupils took part in a basketball competition tonight and they were amazing and have qualified for the finals next week! They showed great teamwork, encouraging and supporting one another, and were determined throughout. They beat Micklehurst B team 6-0, Greswell A team 4-0, Manchester Road A team 6-0 and Arlies B team 2-0. 

Amazing job everyone - bring on the finals next week!

Year 6 have been enjoying their dodgeball sessions in PE this half term. Yesterday we played some 'Character Dodgeball'. Different children adopted different characters to use to their advantage in the game such as Dr Dodgeball who can resuscitate members who are out and the Golden baller who knocks out the whole team if they hit one person. 

Great skills year 6!

The Eco Leaders have done a fantastic job this afternoon trimming the overgrown plants, weeding and litter picking. We also made friends with some very cute baby snails!  Well done everyone!
