• 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.

  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.

  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.

• P1 found out about "The Tower of Babel" during collective worship today

  Wed 05 Feb 2020 Mrs B Fletcher
  Today the children in Primary 1 were excited to have a visitor to lead their class collective worship. Alex Armstrong-Squires came in to tell them the story of "The Tower of Babel". She spoke about persistence, perseverance and not giving up. The children then had a go at building their own towers using different resources. Some of them kept falling down, but they kept on trying until they were happy with their end results. 

  

• Primary 2 - Striving to beat their personal bests in PE.....

There were lots of raised heart rates and rosy cheeks, as well as lots of personal bests being beaten!
