Seaside Holidays in the Past

Class 1 have been learning about seaside holidays during the Victorian times. We have made a black and white film to show activities that people might have taken part in at the beach.

Sewing fish puppets

Class 1 have been making fish puppets. We first learnt to sew using a piece of felt before joining two pieces of felt together. Then we completed our fish puppets using our skills.

Uniform

A reminder that full uniform is expected at all times. Even though we are approaching the end of term, that shouldn’t mean that we let pride in our uniform standards slip.  We wear our Hodnet blue, to show that we are part of our school team, we are smart, proud and ready to learn. We are also adhering to our school rules and values by wearing the correct uniform, as it is a school policy to wear it.

Uniform is a fundamental part of most schools and other organisations procedures, ensuring communities are unified. Our children will find high expectations of uniform standards right through their educational career, so we aim high from the beginning.

We also recognise that our children require parental support to ensure they are adhering to our uniform policy. Thank you to parents and families for your cooperation with this. 

Uniform Policy 2024 26

We have lots of uniform free to families due to the high number of good quality donations that we receive. Please pop into the lobby to take a look of you would like some.

Class 1 find a note from a pirate!

Class 1 returned from assembly to find a note from Captain Blackbeard. He had lost his treasure! We went on a hunt following the clues to find the missing treasure. We then made our own treasure maps.

Class 1 visit to the Blue Planet Aquarium

Class 1 had a fantastic day at the Blue Planet aquarium in Chester. We learnt about a variety of creatures that live in the sea and along the coastlines.

Science Week – A fantastic science school by Xplore Science

KS1 thoroughly enjoyed the science show delivered by Xplore Science. We saw rockets fly across the hall, created a whoosh bottle with flames and saw heat through a thermal imaging camera. We learnt about how the structure of a bridge makes it strong, that two forces work in an opposite direction and Mrs Freeman even sat on a seat of nails!
