Today we took part in this year’s ‘Jeans for Genes’ Day on Friday 22nd September.

1 in 25 children has a genetic disorder that makes their life very difficult. That’s one in every class. Simply by wearing our jeans and donating, we will change the lives of these children. All children and staff were invited to wear their jeans on Friday for national ’Jeans for Genes’ Day and it was great to here the inspiring stories of some of our staff and children who have genetic disorders.

Thank you for your all support, we have raised £

Today we celebrated Bastille Day, as part of our Arts Culture Day. All of the children looked fantastic in their red, white and blue clothes and have had a lovely day, taking part in different celebrations in their classes. Each class created their own piece of artwork to take home and we had the pleasure of watching a live band perform. We have had an excellent day with lots of celebrations.

Today we took part in TT Rockstar Day, to celebrate all of the hard work the children have put in, in numeracy across the year. The children have had a fun filled day, taking part in a range of activities. We have had our very own disco, completed fun tasks on TT Rockstars and practised some conceptual problems in class. Some children also had the opportunity to go on the Boom Bus, for their effort on TT Rockstars throughout the year.  All of the children and staff looked fantastic and made a brilliant effort as always!

This half term we have chosen an artist who was very inspired by Kandinsky and his work. He worked so hard to create this piece of artwork independently and kept on producing different pieces of artwork!

Our Artist of the Half Term goes to Jay. Well done Jay!

Today we had a fantastic afternoon, taking part in a science experiment, investigation or activity. Each class had a teacher from another class teaching a fun activity, all to do with ‘connections’.

 

Class 1

Class 1 became Nature Detectives with Miss Grimes and had to find lots of different mini beasts. We named as many different bugs as we could, before going outside and seeing which ones we could find on the school grounds. We all described one of the bugs and discussed the similarities and differences between them. We loved using different equipment to explore various habitats.

 

Class 2

Class 2 set up and performed a Super Science Experiment! It was fascinating to learn about materials that absorbed things and to watch the colour changing kitchen roll make a rainbow was a WOW moment for all 🙂

 

 

Class 4

We all looked at a variety of variables and how to maintain a fair test to design and construct an investigation to build the strongest bridge. We had some lovely designs and were able to draw conclusions. Rights Respecting Gold ethos demonstrated by all.

 

Class 5

Class 5 showed off their amazing Scientific knowledge and impressed Mrs Aspinall with all they know about plants and the importance of soil. They understood why it is important to humans. We then set up an investigation … plant your pants. We planted two pairs of identical cotton pants in different locations on our school field. We then predicted what they will look like in 8 weeks time. We cant wait to go back and see if our predictions are correct.

This morning we have celebrated everyone’s fantastic effort with their attendance.

Well done to everyone who has received an award for having 96% or more!

A fantastic effort from all of the children who have 100% attendance since September!

 

 

This half term we chose Jake as our artist of the half term. This half term Picasso was our artist and Jake was very inspired by this and created some super artwork.

Well done Jake!

Class 2 and 3 have had a lovely afternoon, celebrating their effort to read at home. Both classes have managed to fill their reading rewards and therefore have had a chocolate fountain and film afternoon. We have had lots of well deserved treats and the children loved it!

Well done class 2 and 3, have a lovely half term!

‘Fairtrade everyday to show our solidarity’

 

The Rights Respecting Council planted ‘Fairtrade’ seed pods packed with British wildflower seeds to enhance local biodiversity, to show solidarity with communities taking on the worst effects of climate change.

 

We had a fantastic time today taking part in the golf festival, led by the fantastic sports leaders and Mr Beverage. We learnt some new skills and had lots of fun trying all of the activities. Every child tried their best and showed some super skills.
