• Class Four Museum

  Fri 31 Mar 2017

  'The children in Class Four have been working hard to make a museum about World War One and World War Two. They have been working in pairs to research a specific area of the war and then present their research in the form of a museum. They also brought in items from home that their families have kept which relate to the wars.

   

  On Thursday the 30th March we set up our museum in the school hall and invited families, friends and the rest of the children in the school to come an have a look at our museum. It was a great success and everyone had a brilliant afternoon. Well done to all the children in Class Four who worked very hard to make some amazing museum stalls.'

  

• Mrs Recycle

  Fri 31 Mar 2017

  We were thrilled to be visited by Mrs Recycle this week.  Mrs Recycle visits school to teach us about how to recycle, and the importance of taking care of the environment around us.   During her visit this year we were all able to find out more about recycling in an assembly, and then the children in Year Three were able to take part in an extra session.

   

  We all had loads of fun meeting Mrs Recycle, and we can't wait to see her again soon!

  

• Easter Egg Hunt

  Mon 27 Mar 2017

  Our fabulous PTA have been very busy again this term, and they helped us break up for the Easter holidays in style!  We were lucky enough to have an Easter Egg Hunt set up for us throughout the school - with children in Key Stage One hunting for letters all across the school, and children from Key Stage Two finding clues and solving riddles.

   

  After decoding some fiendish anagrams everyone found the 'code words' and we were rewarded with a delicious Easter Egg to enjoy during the holidays.    We must say an enormous thank you to everyone on our amazing PTA who spent time hiding clues, helping us to find them again, and delivering the eggs to some very happy children!

  

• Seed Tray Competition

  Fri 24 Mar 2017

  Children across school have been taking part in a seed tray garden challenge. The children have planned and created miniature gardens in groups around a theme of their choice. As you'll see from the photos, we had a variety of different gardens from jungle to pirate themes! The children have all worked extremely hard over the coming weeks to complete their gardens and have worked together very well developing their imaginative ideas. There were two winners on the day, a class prize and a group prize which were judged by our school gardener Richard Hart.

  The class prize went to Year 5 for their fantastically colourful Caribbean gardens!

  The group prize went to the 'Green Garden' in Class 3 for your neat rows of mini carrots!

  Well done to everyone for creating such detailed and creative gardens - they all looked fantastic!

  

• Red Nose Day 2017

  Mon 20 Mar 2017

  We had lots of fun celebrating Red Nose Day this year, with a fantastic cake sale and dance competition in school to raise money for the charity.  Everyone enjoyed wearing their own clothes or fancy dress to school, and the wonderful cakes that were contributed for the cake sale provided welcome refreshments for our hungry dancers.

  As you can see, the dance competition was lots of fun, and everyone enjoyed throwing some shapes (even the teachers!!).

  Thank you to everyone who donated cakes for the cake sale and helped to raise money for such a wonderful cause.

  

• Bradworthy's Strongest Man

  Sun 19 Mar 2017

  At the end of the Spring Term, our Athletics coach Alan Denyer organised a 'Bradworthy's Strongest Man' competition.  We were drawn into teams, and each team had to complete lots of fun challenges.  As these photos show, we all had an amazing time, and worked hard to compete as a team.   The winners even received their very own commemorative 'Atlas Stones' as a trophy!

  

• World Book Day 2017

  Sat 18 Mar 2017

  On Friday March 17th we celebrated World Book Day across the school.  Everyone had great fun getting into wonderful costumes, and we took part in many book and reading themed events during the day.

   

  In the afternoon the whole school gathered in the hall where we were thrilled to award some prizes to the ‘Top Library Borrower’ from each class.  These prizes were awarded to the child in each class who has borrowed the most books from our library so far this year.

   

  Following these prizes our World Book Day Quiz began.   This saw all of the children competing in many different rounds, and having lots of fun along the way.   Congratulations go to all of the children who took part, especially those children from Years Three – Six who represented their teams.   This year the competition was incredibly close, with only four points separating all of the teams at the end of the final round.    This year’s winners were the Herons, with an impressive score of 27 points.

   

  We must thank Mary Weblin, our wonderful School Librarian for all of her hard work in preparing this year’s quiz, along with everyone else who helped and took part.  Thanks must also go to everyone at home who created some amazing costumes!  We hope you all enjoy using your book day tokens towards something new and exciting to read!

  

• Class Two - Kenya

  Fri 17 Mar 2017

  We have been learning about Kenya in Geography this half term. On Friday 10th March, we had a ‘Kenyan Day’ in Year Two. Throughout the day, the children had the opportunity to take part in a range of exciting activities with Mrs Carey and Miss Kempton.

   

  In the morning, the children took part in an African Safari with Miss Kempton and made ‘Mama Panya’s Pancakes’ with Mrs Carey.  As part of our English this week, we have been looking at writing instructions, after the children made and ate their pancake they wrote instructions to explain how we made them. In the afternoon, we made African thumb pots, African masks and colourful Maasai necklaces. We finished the day listening to African music and sharing an African story.

   

  Everyone had a fantastic day and the children have created some lovely pieces of art work which are on display in the classroom.

  

• Class Three at Julians Farm

  Thu 09 Mar 2017

  Class 3 spent the afternoon at Julian's Farm exploring the wildlife, trees and colours around them. We were very lucky with the weather and enjoyed an afternoon of sunshine! The children searched the farm for different colours, bugs and twigs. They also collected things throughout their walk on the farm and added them to their journey stick which we will be using in class for some map work. The children will also be writing some Spring poems using everything they collected with their senses in our afternoon on the farm.

  

• Steel Drums

  Wed 08 Mar 2017

  This term we have hired a set of Steel Drums to use in our music lessons and activities.  The children in Class Five have started to explore the drums with Mrs Turner, and had lots of fun setting them up and putting together our first piece of music.  As you can see from the photographs and the video below, the children were very quick learners, and they are already looking forward to their next challenge.
