Mrs Watts’ Flint-Knapping Visit

Mrs Watts and James came in to show us all of their stone age and iron age artefacts. They also showed us how the Stone Age people knapped flint. They used large pieces of flint and  deer antlers to chip parts off to make tools such as hide scrapers, arrowheads and axes.

Dr Rogers’ visit – Rock and Fossils

Dr Steve Rogers came in to show us the amazing fossils he studies and talk to us about what and how we can learn from them. We loved looking at the ammonites and trilobites especially. He also showed us different rock samples and we asked questions from our Rocks science unit.

Investigating What Plants Need to Live

We learned about what plants needed to live and what happens to plants if they don’t get those conditions. We worked in groups to design a fai test. Each plant was the same to start with then one was given no light, one was given no water, one was given no air and the other was given the wrong temperature (cold). We also had a control that had all of those conditions. We observed the plants over the following week.

318 Belonging Framework reminder

There is now just a week to go until the official launch of The 3-18 Education Trust’s Belonging Framework! Watch the launch video here.

The Belonging Framework is designed to guide and support staff, parents/carers and external agencies to offer appropriate knowledge and tools which help students in our schools to feel valued and understood. This is something that school and Trust staff have been working on throughout this academic year, led by Sadie Howson our Trust Director of Safeguarding and SEND.

To celebrate the Belonging Framework the Trust has launched a Trust-wide competition to encourage our students to start thinking about what belonging means in their school.

Students from all schools have been invited to submit a creative response to the brief, with house points for all participants and an Amazon voucher for each school’s winning entry.

The deadline for entries is Friday 23rd May.

In our school we have shared the launch video in classes and started to think about what belonging means to us as classes and as a school. Children are encouraged to participate in the competition to share what belonging means to them, this could be in a variety of ways – a picture, words, poem, dance or a piece of art work. Get creative! We look forward to seeing your entries. 

We will be selecting a Belonging Ambassador for our school based on the competition entries. All schools will have Belonging Ambassadors, who will work as a team to support the essential sense of belonging within their schools.

Amazing Aladdin!

Huge well done to our class 3, 4 and 5 children who were simply outstanding in their panto production this week. Their singing, acting, humour and teamwork was exceptional – well done everyone, we are so proud of you! You all remembered your lines adn delivered them clearly and confidently and you sang the many songs beautifully. A shout out to the many soloists who bravely sang their parts with confidence and clarity.

A massive thank you to our staff who enabled this production, making props, organising the logistics, teaching the staging and acting – a huge task, but very well done. Each class presented one scene, with class 4 going first, class 3 in the middle and class 5 at the end. Each class had a full list of parts to fill and all classes learned the songs.

Thank you to all the parents and family members who came to watch, and helped their children with costumes and learning lines at home – your support is greatly appreciated.

 

Number Games

We have been enjoying activities around number and here we were playing a memory game where we had to match 3-digit numbers in numerals and words. It became very competitive!
