Year 3 were very lucky to have Gordon help out on our KS2 Sports Day. We had great fun and enjoyed the sunshine. Thank you to Mrs Bolger for adding to our photos of a lovely afternoon. Can you spot our future Olympians?
Congratulations to all the children (and parents!) who took part in the Foundation Stage Sports’ Day. There was a lovely, fun and supportive atmosphere as the children made their way along obstacle courses, balanced beanbags and took part in welly wanging.
The children in the Foundation Stage were really happy to meet Barney the Parrot. Jodie kindly brought him in to enhance our Pirate topic, although I don’t think Barney has ever sat on a pirate’s shoulder!
We found out that he is an African Grey Parrot, loves playing with his toys and has sunflower seeds for a treat. He also showed off his acrobatic skills.
Thank you for visiting us Barney.
Year 3 have been asking the Key Question ‘Should Emperor Claudius Invade Britain?’ We looked at all the reasons For and Against leaving sunny Italy to come to Britain. The children acted as Advisors to Claudius. Finally, we had a Conscience Alley to make our final statements.
They had to break this code…
If WCI is Why Claudius Invaded, what does this mean?
WCI = L+ S + C + M+ F+ ? (Hint: L = Land)
Can you remember or work out the rest?
Here are the songs for the 2025 Musical!
Well done to the Year 2 Celebration of the Word team and the two team guests from Foundation Stage One – they spoke clearly and proudly to guide us through our understanding of the word ‘Vocations’. One child explaining:
‘Vocation is God’s plan for you’
We all had a fun time enjoying The Croods, eating popcorn and sweets and drinking squash. It proved to be very popular and raised lots of money for our new music area. This area will start to take shape soon and the children will be able to enjoy exploring sounds.
Thank you for supporting us whilst we create this new learning zone and a particular thank you to Conor – Mrs Hudson’s brother for creating the Music Wall.
Year 3 had a lovely time with the ducklings this week. We practised our skills as scientists and artists by making observational sketches. Looking closely at their markings, their webbed feet and eyes. This led to a great discussion about adaptations in animals. A really fun afternoon with some great work produced.
The children (and staff!) loved watching the ducklings – although we did get a bit wet as they liked splashing, swimming and jumping around.
Mrs Maylard-Mason treated the Jubilee Room to a visit from BRW’s ducklings! The children watched the ducklings swim and got to hold them. The children worked hard on their listening skills and followed careful instructions, to keep themselves safe and the ducklings safe.
