Year 5 champions went to the Openzone to compete in the Spelling Bee final.
They all tried really hard and Marsden came fourth.
Well done to Lucy, Issac, Ben and Abigail
Here are some touching thoughts on why the children believe their Mam is the best!
Warning! Watching these videos will make you cry!
Well Friday saw many of our Year 6 Mams shed a tear as their children shared poems and newspaper articles explaining why their Mam was the most special one. I was so proud every single child and I know this will be a memory that will stay with everyone for a long time.
Here is the powerpoint we used tonight so that you can check back before we start our exciting adventure.
After tonight very successful meeting tonight, here is the powerpoint for you to read at your leisure!
Well, we knew that Marsden got through to the Spelling finals, but we have just had confirmation of just how good they were….. FIRST PLACE!!
We were excited…..but now are so excited.
Come on team – let’s see how the final goes – fingers crossed for Tuesday… Watch this space.
On Thursday afternoon, pupils from Year 5 took part in a spelling bee. They were part of a video conference with other schools in the authority.
We are very proud to announce that they sailed through to the next round!
They children were cool under the pressure and competed in different rounds to show their spelling skills.
The children that took part were Abigail, Ben, Isaac and Lucy. Now let’s support them in the final, we know you can do it!
Year 5 have been debating the topic of deforestation in the Amazon Rainforest.
We thought about reasons why the rainforest should be saved and also why we need its resources.
Mrs Watson gave us a role to take on the debate. We were either: Jaguars, tribespeople, conservationists, oil workers or owners of logging companies.
Some of us had to argue for something we didn’t agree with!
After our debate we write persuasive speeches in role.
Our children in Year 5 were set a mathematical challenge by Mrs Watson. They were given the numbers 1-30 and asked to make each number using only the digits 1,2,3,4 and any multiplication method. This challenge had caused many teachers a headache, especially when asked to make the number 29, and we heard that only one Year 6 boy at Harton Primary had managed it.
However, our very own Alfie Dewing, rose to the challenge and managed to calculate how to make every single number!! I think we may have a young Einstein in the making!!
As part of our science and design technology topics around healthy eating, Year 3 designed, made and evaluated their own healthy sandwiches. We looked at the components of a sandwich and how to optimise the healthiness of our sandwiches. The children gained valuable kitchen skills and prepared their sandwiches under the guidance of Mrs Potter, Miss Jordan and Miss Slater.
Once the children had finished making their sandwiches they reached the best part, eating them! The children had a great time and enjoyed their healthy snack despite their being no chocolate spread in sight!
