Drama in Year 4!

The Year 4s have been working with Mr Clay from the Superstars Drama Company. The theme for their work has been "A Healthy Lifestyle". Can you guess what element of a healthy lifestyle each of these groups of children are portraying?

Year 5 trip to the Black Country Museum

Year 5 had a fantastic day on Friday when we went to the Black Country Museum. We were taken back in time to the Victorians and learnt so much. We went into a house and were told that this would have been where a family of 13 would have lived, it was TINY! We experienced what it would have been like to work in a coalmine and were even taught by a Victorian teacher. We travelled on a tram, bought traditional sweets and shopped in the Hardware Store. A great day was had by all.

European Languages Day 26th September

European Languages Day.

Y6 worked together this afternoon. First they had to 'spot the celebrity' and then find the country they came from on a map of the world. Next the children sang a song to the tune of 'Is this the way to Amarillo' with colours in Spanish as the words. After this they looked at the work of Joan Miro, a Spanish artist and created work in his style using pencils, paint, chalk or collage. A fun afternoon was had by all.

In the Woods

Year 3 have had lots of fun walking through the woods to test their senses in order to inspire their Literacy work. We have been squelching through the mud (parents too!!), listening to the sounds and sights all around us. We had a fantastic time!

Comenius Project

As part of the Comenius project Year 3 have been learning all about what makes a healthy mind and body. We drew around ourselves on to giant pieces of paper and then added all our ideas about what we believe keeps us healthy. Don't they look great?

YEAR 4 TRIP

16th September

What a great day Year 4 children had at The Cotswold Wildlife Park! Although the weather forecast was not good, the rain held off until the very end of the day and so we all stayed dry.

We saw so many different animals we almost lost count and learned so much about the animals from Africa.The talks by the Park Rangers were fascinating and gave us a lot to think about and look for as we made our way around the enclosures. Did you know that giraffe have black tongues? It helps to stop them getting sunburnt when they are eating.

As usual, the Meerkats were sooooooooooo popular - they didn't speak to us though! We all came away wishing we could have the next trip to the Masai Mara......what do you think Mrs. White?

Despite a few hiccupups on the way home (which involved the use of many plastic bags!) everyone agreed it had been an informative and magical day.

Thanks to Mrs. Martin for her hard work in organising it all and to all parents who accompanied us.

Making Cakes

Year 3 have been out in the woods collecting blackberries and baking delicious cakes for their parents to enjoy during Parent's afternoon at school. We hope they enjoy them. They look wonderful!
