As part of our book study into “Alice’s adventures in Wonderland”, Year 3 prepared and took part in our very own Mad Hatter’s Tea Party.
The children followed recipes to bake their own cakes, shortbread biscuits and make some fruit smoothies to enjoy at the party.
The whole class had a great time and have thoroughly enjoyed the timeless classic.
Dear Year 6,
This week you have all completed your SATs for reading, maths, spelling, grammar, and punctuation. We know that you have worked incredibly hard, and we are extremely proud of each and every one of you.
The SATs tell you a measure of your learning within school. They do not, however, tell you all of the things that make you special, unique, and wonderful in your own ways.
Your parents and all of us at Marsden know that you are more than just a test. Some of you play sport, some of you play a musical instrument. We know that some of you some of you can sing and dance, some of you represent a wide range of organisations at a very high level. Some of you even help your families at home with household jobs. These are just a few of the things that make you individual, and that make your parents and all of the staff at Marsden proud of you, not just today or this week, but every day.
So remember that you are amazing, unique, and very special. It has been a privilege to teach you and to watch you grow into the lovely young people we see today.
Remember that there is no way to ‘test’ all the amazing, awesome things that make you YOU!
So we would like to say a very well done to you, not just for working so hard this week, but for everything that you are – keep it up.
With very best wishes,
Mrs Marshall and all of the staff at Marsden Primary School
Year 6 children have worked so hard this week on their SATs but decided today to do a sponsored walk to raise money for their visit to Broomley Grange.
The weather was chilly but dry and after 3 miles they decided to pop into the park to use up any energy they had left!
What an amazing day and fantastic spirit from all of the children.
Year 6 put on a fantastic display with their African drum this evening.
They showed the skills they have been working on all year and were very impressive.
If you missed the show, click on the link below and see how good they were.
Y5 have been making Apple Fritters!
In the novel “Blabbermouth”, the main character, Rowena Batts, enjoys making apple fritters as her father is an apple farmer. We gave it a go and we’re delighted with the results. some staff members were also lucky enough to taste our treats.
Mrs O’Brien said, “The fritters were light and fluffy on the outside with succulent apple inside.”
Year 6 were very excited yesterday on being the FIRST year group at Marsden to be wearing our very smart new hoodies.
With one term to go, we can’t believe how grown up they are all looking.
Red house worked hard all term and were CHAMPIONS in our House competition.
To celebrate they enjoyed an amazing afternoon at the park – behaviour was OUTSTANDING as always and the children showed why they deserved to win.
Well done!
