• Y1 "Hot Seating" in RE for the story of the Good Samaritan

  Thu 13 Feb 2020 Mrs B. Fletcher
  The Y1 children have been learning all about the story of The Good Samaritan in R.E. This afternoon they had a go at "Hot Seating", which was lots of fun! Some children had a turn to sit at the front and pretend to be the injured man, the priest, the Levite, the robbers, the inn keeper, the Samaritan and even his donkey! The person in the hot seat was interviewed by the rest of the children and asked questions such as, "Why were you walking down that dangerous road?" and "Why didn't you stop to help?" The children thought of some interesting questions to ask each character and the characters came up with some fantastic replies. 

  

• An afternoon at the Sands Centre football tournament

  Sat 08 Feb 2020 Mrs B Fletcher
  Six Y6 boys represented the school at the annual Sands Centre football tournament this afternoon. They played really well against some tough competition and made it through to the quarter finals. Unfortunately they then lost to a school from Crosby on Eden, but left with their heads held high and extremely rosy cheeks! Well done boys, you were all fantastic. 

  

• Painting with natural ingrediants!

• Year 4 STEM learning - Marble Run!

  Fri 07 Feb 2020 Mrs Herbert
  Year 4 were challenged with building their own marble run from junk materials. The criteria for the winning team was for the marble to take the longest time to reach the floor starting at 1m height. Corners proved to be problem but with perseverance the children solved this by cutting diagonal lines! Well done Year 4. Here is the winning team. Please see P3 class page for other photographs.
