The new Year 5 children had a great time down at the latest Beach School lesson. They made sand sculptures, created moats and munched on some delicious smores! Even the teachers managed to sneak a tasty smore.
The new Year 5 children have had a very busy transition full of getting to know each other activities, Beach School and of course fun!
Yesterday we started our day off by playing a game of guess who by using clues about each other and creating a sneaker all about themselves. After break, we put our writing skills to the test by writing letters to each other before having a brain break using Just Dance.
Some of the children remember using the parachute to improve gross motor skills in Nursery and were very eager to try it out again. Of course we put a Year 5 spin on the game and the children had to dive under the parachute to find a number. They then needed to give a multiplication fact to match their number.
After lunch the children completed their self-portraits in the style of the illustrator Rob Biddulph before completing a team work task. The children were provided with a range of materials and challenged to build the tallest structure which could hold an apple for 10 seconds.
Hopefully the children had as much fun as I did and are excited for the year ahead!
Congratulations to our winners!

This morning, Nursery invited the children’s families along to participate in a morning of fun sporting activities! The children loved exploring all the equipment and were very active. Huge thank you to all the adults who were “encouraged” to join in the parents race. Such a shame there are no photos of the teachers taking part in their sack race! 😀
Y6 had a fab time at Nissan today! We were able to design our own cars, practise working on an Assembly line, use power tools and enjoy cookies!
This afternoon, our Key Stage Two children had the opportunity to showcase their outstanding athletic abilities. Well done to Red Team who won the overall afternoon and thank you to all of the grown-ups for the support and participation too.
