We are so proud of our dancing superstar!

20th February 2024Mrs Haycock

Well done to this incredibly talented young lady. What a half term you had! Having moved up a section to dance against the ā€˜Juniorsā€™, Mia was one of the youngest of roughly 20 children who competed against each other all week in solo routines. She came home with 12 individual medals: 2 gold medals; 5 silver; 3 bronze; and 2, 4th place medals – as well as others for group routines! See, I told you she was talented! I canā€™t wait to come and watch you and your friends perform again.

Look out Londonā€™s West Endā€¦Mia is gonna take you by storm one day!

ā€˜Motivate Meā€™ Crew Challenges

20th February 2024Mrs Haycock

In our crews, we have had to think really carefully about how we can achieve a team aim. It was much harder than we first thought it would be to lower the counting stick to the ground without anyoneā€™s fingers becoming detached from the stick. It was amazing how much better we did when we actually communicated with each other!

Well done teams.

Dance in Y4!

20th February 2024Lucy Wood

The children are focusing on Dance this half term and have had such a great time practicing the Haka. They learned a bit about its history and where it originated from. Then they put on their most intimidating faces to learn the first few steps.

We can collaborate!

4H have worked in small production teams to research the geographical and human features of Svalbard – an archipelago of islands at the heart of our current expedition. They will use this information to write a comparison between Svalbard and South Yorkshire.

Fabulous teamwork today folks, well done!

I am taking over my teacherā€™s job!

8th February 2024Mrs Haycock

I think I need to watch my back! The confidence growth in this young man has been phenomenal over the last few weeksā€¦To stand in front of 30 children and explain your thinking out loud is really tricky but you handled it like a pro, Roscoe! Both myself and Mrs Pass are incredibly proud of you; and we hope you are also proud of yourself!

Faith Day Year 4

8th February 2024Mrs Haycock

4H have worked really hard today to build their understanding of the Muslim Holy Book: The Qurā€™an. They collated information from our Gallery Walk and transformed it into some beautiful posters to be proud of! Well done everyone; you have gained a wealth of knowledge in a polite and respectful way, and really taken pride in the work you have produced.

5L Athletics

5L had a really fun morning building up a sweat. This weekā€™s athletics activities consisted of long jump, target throw and speed bounce. The children always have such a great time practicing their skills and learning how to be resilient.

We have met a real-life polar bear expert!

31st January 2024Mrs Haycock

We have been in awe this afternoon when we visited Svalbard via GoogleMeet! Joanna (our expert speaker) works as a biologist for an amazing organisation called Polar Bears International. She told us so much about polar bears and their habitat – helping us to build real-life background knowledge. She is currently working on a really important project about polar bear and human cohabitation. We aim to help her organisation towards the end of our expedition by making a monetary donation. You can find out more about them on their website: https://polarbearsinternational.org/

It was one of my favourite moments so far this school year when children started getting out of their seats and as close to the screen and Joanna as they could. Everyone started the session sat at a table then slowly but surely, more and more crept closer and closer to her. They were enraptured!

Thank you, Joanna!

3F PE

31st January 2024Lucy Wood

Year 3 had so much fun in PE today. They perfected the skills of balancing, jumping and landing on one foot and creating their own challenges in groups. They came up with some brilliant athletics challenges and it was so lovely to see them use their imagination when doing this. Keep it up 3F!
