First on the scene

25th April 2025Mr Schofield

In English, we looked at the descriptive language used in a Pathe news report of the horrific 1966 Aberfan mining disaster. After, children were challenged to act as journalists and report from the scene. It was great to hear your news reports come to life! Well done.

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!

Tennis in 5S

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!
