Jake and Jackson’s Post

The ceilidh was super fun we were having the best night of our lives.

In maths we have been learning more addition strategies and some subtraction strategies.

We were learning fact triangles.

In literacy we have been learning new phonemes and also some descriptive character writing about the Night Zoo. We had to write our own character description. We used core targets, similes, adjectives, adverbs and paragraphs.

Yesterday we went on a fun trip to the Titanic Exhibition. We met members of the crew and saw the hull, the funnel and the pulley from the ship. One woman was playing cards when disaster struck and the cards were on display. Women and children got on the lifeboats first. When it was sinking the weight of the water in the ship broke it in half. We had an excellent day and learned lots of facts about the Titanic.

Sorn Castle Visit 🏰

Today we visited the amazingly beautiful Sorn Castle. We enjoyed exploring some of the rooms including the drawing room, the bedroom of the late owner and the dining room.
Mrs Connell’s favourite room was where they hold the weddings. She was keen to get a shot of the huge pipe organ.
We had a look around the grounds where we got to see how the electricity is generated by hydropower.

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.

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!

Walk 500 Miles 👣

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.
