KS2 Sports Day
Well done to all the children who made yesterday’s sports day such a success. The children showed great resilience and support for their class mates.
A huge thank you to parents for cheering on all the children.
Finally, year 6 children deserve our praise for organising and running the event.
Living and Learning – Being Healthy!
Wednesday 4 July
Today, our Y3/4 children researched, designed and created a healthy snack as part of our Being Healthy week. They tasted a selection of salad vegetables and put them into a wholemeal pitta pocket-yummy!
Keepy Uppy production
Today, we enjoyed a performance of Keep Uppy, presented by Tutti Frutti productions. The play told the story of a boy, Joey, who worshipped football. He dreamed about it, talked about it and played it whenever he could. The show ignited children imaginations with the use of music, dance and visual effects. It made children think about their own passions and ambitions.
Celebration assembly!
Congratulations to the children whose effort and achievements have stood out this week. It’s been particularly impressive to maintain such focus on their learning in such high temperatures! In addition, we celebrated the Y5, who triumphed in the Brownlee Triathlon hosted by John Smeaton School. Well done everyone!
Living and Learning – Being different!
In Living and Learning this week, we have been looking at ways to identify positive things about ourselves and to challenge stereotyping.
We discussed the meaning of the word ‘stereotyping’ (A fixed idea about a group of people that says that everyone who is part of that group is the same. A stereotype is an idea that limits what people can do, be or experience. Stereotypes don’t celebrate difference.
Stereotypes upset people by telling them that they can’t be who they are.)
Interestingly, the children were asked to draw pictures of a scientist, a doctor and a ballet dancer – with some surprising results.
The focus of the discussion ended on the issues of gender by inviting the class to consider whether girls and boys are good at the same things.
Sensational Sobek!
Friday 22 June 2018
Egyptian Gods and Goddesses.
In Year 3/4 reading this week, one task was to read a description of the god, Sobek, find facts from the text and draw a picture of what he looked like.
They had lots of fun comparing their work with the real thing.
Here are some children’s work, which show detail and careful retrieval of facts. The actual picture was similar to the children’s drawings. They were really surprised how accurate their pictures were.

Living and Learning – Relationships
15 June 2018
In Living and Learning this week, Year 3/4 have been looking at ‘Who’s in our family?’ Children have been learning about the way they grow and change throughout the human life cycle.
We discussed the ages of our own family members and at what stages of the life cycles they were.
