Happy Easter

March 28, 2024UncategorizedS Connell

Happy Easter from all at Sorn Primary School.
Have a lovely holiday and I hope you all enjoy the chocolate filled break.

Science Morning

Thank you to Mrs Smith and Mrs Sewell for visiting us today and providing us with some amazing and exciting science activities.
We got to count how many drops of water we could fit on coins, make a clamp stand following the instructions and sort beads and pom poms by colour and shape.
We learned how to use different apparatus like magnifying glasses, the clamp stand, stopwatches, droppers, thermometers, measuring cylinders and tweezers.

Easter Fayre 🐣

What an afternoon we had at our Easter Fayre!
The school was packed with visitors to have a go at each of our stalls. Even the rain didn’t stop our Beat the Goalie or the popular Sponge the Teacher activities.
A huge well done to the children for organising the event and massive thank you to our families for coming along and supporting our fundraising efforts. Our grand total will be announced soon so keep your eyes peeled.

Cross the Line

Today we took to the playground for a health and wellbeing task. Mrs Connell asked us a series of questions and if we agreed or experienced it, we crossed the line. Some questions asked about hair colour, or talents and interests… others were a bit harder, such as if we had been bullied or experienced the death of a pet. We learned a lot about each other and said that when more people crossed the line together, we felt supported.

Money, money, money 💰

Today Mrs Connell asked us what we needed money for. We made a list of all the different ways we use money. We also talked about help available to support people too. Identifying coins, working out change and total costs are just some of the activities we’ve been up to.

RRSA Activities

Today our Rights Respecting School Committee got the whole school thinking about rights. They challenged everyone to look at all the articles and choose the 9 they thought was most important. This prompted lots of discussion and there were only a few groups who picked the same one. Then they had to choose their favourite right, explain why they chose it and draw a matching picture.

Well done RRSA Team!

We kicked started our 500 miles challenge today as the whole school and some of our families joined us on the Four Farms Walk! We walked a whopping 4 miles each. With 33 people take part, we’ve already walked 132 miles!
What a fabulous start to our fundraising. Thank you to our young people and families who joined us.

Cash for Kids

We had two very special visitors today from Cash for Kids and West FM. They answered lots of our questions and were interested in how we are fundraising. We are even going to get a special mention on West FM tomorrow at 8:30am… keep your ears peeled.
