Miners Dress Up in 5S

16th April 2025Mr Schofield

As part of our hook week into ‘At the Coalface’, Year 5 today came to school dressed as coal miners. We participated in some immersive P.E. which encouraged us to imagine the life of children – many of whom were our age – expressing their feelings, emotions and actions through the medium of dance.

5S are artists!

16th April 2025Mr Schofield

As part of our hook week for our new expedition ‘At the Coalface’, we have used a linked medium (charcoal) to develop our skills in art. We used techniques of blending, smudging, cross-hatching and stippling to affect areas of light, shade and texture. I was so impressed with your focus and resilience when it came to improving your abilities – well done!

19th March 2025Mr Schofield

5S spent this afternoon building on last week’s skills by introducing forehand and backhand techniques using rackets, playing small rallies to work on their ball control. Well done!

9th March 2025Mrs Haycock

The whole school enjoyed time with author and illustrator, Phil Sheppard as part of their World Book Day! Listening to him tell his stories live was a magical experience for many!

There’s nothing better than a good story being brought to life!

Year 5/6’s celebration of learning!

4th March 2025Miss Blackham

We would like to thank everyone for the amazing turn out for our celebration of learning. Our Year 5&6’s have worked so hard this term. Our guiding question was ‘how can one moment influence our future’. We linked this to character traits and how just one moment of couarge can have such a big impact.

They then looked at a range of significant people and how they have used course to change: Rosa Parks, Emmeline Pankhurst and Martin Luther King all whom have had a significant impact on today’s society. 
Our 5/6’s have also been inspired by Ben Parkinson and the courage he shows daily which is why our final product is dedicated to Ben. 
We cannot wait to display our beautiful work in our local community. 
Will you have courage to stand up for change? Capture your pledges to change on our Padlet here!
