RACE NIGHT

The PTA Family Race Night was a huge success on Friday with a full house and lots of families coming out in support of the school and the great efforts of the PTA.   The PTA and school would like to extend a huge thanks to everyone for their support on the night and for their generosity in contributing to PTA funds.  The evening took place in the newly refurbished Church Hall which was a perfect venue.  Our picture gallery gives a flavour of the PTA’s very successful night.  Great work ladies!!

Angle Work with Room 13

Room 13 have just started learning about angles. As an introduction, they created Angle Munchers…strange little beings with rather large mouths. Interestingly, their mouths are a perfect right angle and whilst a right-angled snack is their favourite to munch on, they also enjoy the occasional acute angle treat.
However, as the children found out, an obtuse angled snack is a little too big for even the most hungry Muncher.

The newly painted playground proved to be snacktastic!

Our Playground

Our school playground is becoming a great focus of outdoor play as we continue to invent games using our new playground markings.  They have been a great success at breaktimes and have rwally inspired the children to come up with some very interesting games.  Here are a few pictures of Room 7 pupils during their P.E. lesson.

Room 7

Room 7 are delighted to share with you their learning.  They have planted cress seeds and are recording their daily growth in their cress diaries.  We can look forward to hearing what they have learned from carrying out this investigation.

Science in Room 10

For science this term, Room 10 have been focussing on life cycles as they  prepare for the arrival of their baby chicks in two weeks time. The boys and girls became budding scientists last week as they took part in several egg-cellent egg-xperiments! First, they decided to investigate the strength of an egg shell by carefully balancing books on top of four delicate shells. The children could not believe their eyes as the eggs were strong enough to hold more than twenty, heavy books before cracking! They have also started an experiment which will investigate what happens when a raw egg is left in vinegar over the weekend. Each group has predicted a different result, it will be very interesting to see who is correct!
