This year, the British Science Week theme was connections! To celebrate this, and to give our creative, imaginative and incredible children a challenge, we ran a Marble Run competition. True to form, they didn’t disappoint!
Everyone has really enjoyed all the photos and videos that have been emailed in. We have been wowed with all the amazing creations – not to mention your filming skills!
Thank you for all the stupendous entries. Our winner was Alexander, who managed the longest entry at well over 4 metres (so many twists and turns it could be double that!) Congratulations to all, you should feel very proud!
Year 5 have been busy finishing their learning about North America in Geography.
We explored time zones and begun to understand why these were needed. We learnt that because the Earth spins on it’s axis (24hours), some of the world would be dark and the other side would be light! Therefore, on the dark side it needs to be a time when people are sleeping and on the light side, it needs to be daytime. Year 5 have given some reasons for this and worked out different time zones around the world. Have a look!
Then we compared the American state of New York to Nottingham. We watched a video showing us the human and physical features of New York and created a Venn-diagram to see the similarities and differences between NYC and Nottingham.
Take a look at what we found…
The children have had a fantastic morning in the woods. They have been using natural objects to create dinosaurs inspired by Andy Goldsworthy. We had, a triceratops, a T-Rex, a diplodocus and even a pterodactyl!
Year 1 and 2 enjoyed a visit to Rushcliffe Country Park in the Spring Term. They had a wonderful day filled with adventure, exploring, lots of walking and some fun in the playground!
The children were given lots of challenges throughout the day. They looked for signs of spring, tried hard to find and identify sculptures, used their senses in the woodland area and climbed, jumped and balanced on the park.
Take a look at what we got up to one our adventure…
Year 3 welcomed everyone back this week with a beautiful Liturgy. They retold the story of The Resurrection Story with drama, song and and prayerful reflection. It was joyful!
This week, Year 3 showcased their work in Dance. This dance was a samba-style dance to celebrate their Geography work on South America and all their learning linked with Paddington. They were ‘Fab-u-lous!’
Last term, Year 3 had the fantastic opportuntiy to play an instrument in a class orchestra. They made excellent progress and you can look forward to a live performance during our upcoming Music Evening on the 4th May!
On the last day of term, Year Six performed a powerful and emotive presentation of ‘The Crucifixion’.
Retelling the most important story in the world, they used song, prayer and dance to lead us through the final stages of Jesus’s life.
Year Six, we are so proud of your hard-work. Your performance will be one to remember for a long time to come…
Welcome back!
Over the Easter holidays, we celebrated the most important celebration within our faith, the resurrection of Jesus! We celebrate the season of Easter by using a word we don’t use during Lent – Alleluia! The word simply means ‘praise the lord’ and it’s a reminder that at this time of year we should be rejoicing and celebrating that Jesus is risen. This week, think about what makes you want to celebrate and think about how you can show the world the joy of the resurrection.
A warm welcome back to our pupils and families at the start of the Summer Term!
We began our Summer Term with our Spring Achiever of the Term celebration assembly. We were so busy with a memorable Holy Week that we ran out of time to celebrate at the end olast term.
Congratulations to our more-than-deserving Achievers. Your adults can see some common qualities among you: hard-work, smiles, resilience and a thirst for knowledge. Keep up the good work!
In addition, we had several pupils who earned their 100% attendance pencil and sweets for being in school for 100% of the Spring Term! What a feat!
