Y5 have loved their text this half term, Beowulf.
On Wednesday, we acted out the epic poem by taking on a role. They were King Hrothgar, Brave Beowulf, Fiendish Grendel and an unfortunate guard. This will help us to write our narrative retelling next week.
Can you tell who is acting out which role?
Year 1 had a great time taking Paddington (and Tiny) to see the windmill in Marsden. We even made Paddington’s favourite marmalade sandwiches when we got back to school and they were delicious
Today, Y5 carried out an experiment to explore the process of filtration to try and separate an insoluble material (tea leaves) from a solvent (water). The children had a variety of different materials to use as filters and we discovered that some were more successful than others. Material with very small holes such as woven fabric acted as a good filter and resulted in very few leaves getting through the material. We called what was left in the material the residue.
Congratulations to our winners this week!
Over the last couple of weeks, Year 3 have been working hard in our English lessons to write our first piece of writing of the year. We all wrote a character description about the boy who had lost his black hat. Last week, we were finally at the stage where we could publish our writing in order to showcase the fantastic vocabulary we included and the edits we made.
Thank you to Lydia who came to our assembly this morning to talk about Green Careers.
We talked about lots of jobs which help the environment and ways we can help out.
Year 6 and Reception had an afternoon at Laura’s Park – everyone had a great time – special friendships are starting to form.
The school council were put straight to the test today by hosting our first event- the MacMillan cake fundraiser.
They did a brilliant job making sure everyone could enjoy the delicious cakes and as a school we raised £180.86!
A huge thank you to the lovely Janice from our kitchen who baked all our tasty treats!
Congratulations to our new school council! This is a wonderful achievement, and it shows that your classmates trust you to speak up for them and help make your school an even better place. You should feel very proud of yourselves for taking on this important role. We’re excited to see the great ideas you will bring and the positive changes you’ll help make. Well done!
Congratulations to our winners!
