Fantastic Pharaoh’s
Base 10 pupils enjoyed creating a collage of Tutankhamun with gold paint and tissue paper to consolidate their learning within the class. Tutankhamun is ancient Egypt’s most famous pharaoh!
Dance, Dance, Dance!
Miss Taylor led dance classes for our pupils during our Right’s Respecting Festival.
We have the right to play
Article 31
You have the right to play and relax by doing things like sport, music and drama.
Article 31 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child says that children and young people have the right to have fun in the way they want to, whether by playing sports, watching films, or something else entirely. They have the right to rest, too. Children and young people should be able to take part freely in cultural activities, just like adults.
Right’s Respecting Festival
As part of our Right’s Respecting Festival, pupils had the opportunity to discover the art of Brazilian percussion grooves with the carnival duo from Beats of Brazil. We certainly had an energetic time, learning various Brazilian rhythms and techniques allowing us to perform as part of a team.
Eco Council bird feeding experiment
Our Eco Council pupils had a great time filling up our bird feeders and bird house with extra tasty snacks during the RSPB’s Big School Bird Watch. We will keep a close watch to see which food the birds prefer to eat.

A Snake of Bubbles with Base 2!
Base 2 enjoyed a science workshop about solids, liquids and gases. They learned how to identify each of them and then conducted some experiments with liquids to make a fizz. Then they added a solid to the liquids to look for fizz. Finally Matthew and Linda, the lovely scientists, did a whopper of an experiment which produced a ‘snake of bubbles’! We had a great time on Tuesday morning.
Fizz, Boom, Bang!
The pupils had the challenge to use an indicator to identify whether liquids were neutral, acid or alkaline and then use these in experiments to create the coolest chemical reaction. We learned about what happens during a chemical reaction and created some amazing chemical reactions like colour change, bubbles, heat and light in our experiments.
