Year 5 & 6 nativity costumes

6th December 2024Miss Blackham

We do not want parents to have to buy anything new for the nativity.

We are asking pupils to wear the following (if possible).

Pupils who have a part as Mary to wear a plain dress.

Pupils who are playing Joseph to wear their school uniform and to bring in a tea towel.

Pupils in sparkle and shine to wear party wear.

Pupils in the boyband to wear a tracksuit and hat.

The angel to wear a dress.

The remaining children to wear christmas jumpers.

Please do not worry if you feel what you have does not fit the above criteria, we will be flexible with the costumes as the most important thing is your children having fun and making memories!

Please can we ask costumes are in school no later than Tuesday.

5S Cam Toys

6th December 2024Mr Schofield

Over the past few expedition lessons, 5S have been demonstrating their knowledge of mechanisms by producing a cam toy which causes a planet to rotate.

They had to carefully build a box which symbolised the blackness of space, paint a ball to a planet of their choice, then assemble an intricate cam and follower mechanism inside which converts the motion into a rotation of the planet.

Well done, the finished products look brilliant!

The Christmas Story

3rd December 2024Mr Schofield

Today, Years 5 and 6 welcomed a visitor who helped us to consider the true meaning of Christmas, encouraging children to be thoughtful about the important things during the festive period.

Well done for your amazing engagement and to those who shared their thoughts and opinions – it was really encouraging to hear your ideas.

Our school nativity will be held on the 12th December at 2pm… we have decided to put our performance on the same day as the school fayre to avoid parents having to book two dates off work.

If you would like tickets, please email [email protected] with the amount you would like. We only have 120 tickets available 🙂

5S developing their netball skills

28th November 2024Mr Schofield

5S have enjoyed their focus on netball over the past few weeks, working on the skills required to win the game. Today, they worked on developing decision making, passing and receiving skills, and explored the importance of communication.

It was great to see the full class in attendance and participating fully, well done!

5S Analyse Setting Descriptions

27th November 2024Mr Schofield

5S are preparing for writing their own setting descriptions by analysing and critiquing a piece of similar text.

I was impressed to see them working collaboratively to identify the features then discuss their reasoning with the class.

I can’t wait to see you applying all of these in your own work!

5S are parliamentarians

25th November 2024Mr Schofield

As part of parliament week, crews around school engaged in learning about parliament and its processes in our country. This helps us to understand the British values of democracy and law.

Crew Schofield enjoyed engaging in their own parliamentary style debates on issues affecting our school, learning how they link to the manner in which bigger decisions are made for our country. They also enjoyed learning about the process of a general election and how that determines our representation in parliament.

In our photos, members of our ‘house’ were voting on a bill that proposed the banning of football at lunchtimes!
