Happy World Book Day

We have started World Book Day with a very cool assembly today. Year 6 shared a performance poem which could be read both ways called a palindrome. This had a strong message about refugees. Then Mrs Lewis shared her favourite story 'The wonky donkey' rapped by MC Grammar. We really enjoyed this so if you want to learn any more songs being sang by MC Grammar have a look on the internet. Then Miss Lewis shared a poem she has created all about our fabulous school.

Ash Randall visit

Today, we were lucky enough to have a visit from freestyle footballer Ash Randall. He showed us lots of his amazing skills and we couldn't wait to have a go at break and lunch time ourselves. We were impressed to find out that Ash has 25 world records for his freestyle football skills and also has an award for having over 100,000 subscribers on YouTube. He said the main things for becoming a great freestyle footballer are determination, perseverance, passion and honesty - some of our sporting values!


Making Tudor pottage

Year 4 had lots of fun designing and making Tudor pottage in groups. They picked which vegetables and stock they wanted to add. Then, they used fantastic peeling, slicing, dicing and blending skills to make it. We hope you enjoyed tasting it when they brought it home!

A huge congratulations to Team Emerald, who have won the House Cup and will receive non-uniform day on Friday 14th February. They won with 1,233 points - Well done!

Tudor life

Today, Year 4 learnt all about how the rich and poor people lived during Tudor times. We learnt about the type of food they would have eaten, their housing and their clothing. We even got to go on a virtual tour of Hampton Court Palace and try on some Tudor clothing.
