EURO 2016, by Mrs Roberts

Date: 17th Jun 2016 @ 12:40pm

We were kindly given the opportunity to join as a school to watch the Euro 2016 England game in the hall on the big screen. What great fun we had!  We had a hall full of banners, flags and lots of children cheering on their Country. What a shame home time came along before the last goal. England 2 Wales 1.
COME ON ENGLAND!

(What a shame for the little crew who obviously didnt get the result they were after as they were Wales supporters.)

Outdoor Maths, by Miss Hope

Date: 16th Jun 2016 @ 6:23am

Q2 have enjoyed an outdoor maths lesson this week. They were learning about capacity and volume. Miss Gray asked them to sort all her containers and bottles into 3 groups. Those that would hold a litre of water, those that would hold more than a litre of water and those that would hold less than a litre. The children worked in pairs with a measuring jug. They had to read the scale on the side of the jug accurately and fill the containers. Well done children - great measuring!

Art homework projects, by Miss Hughes

Date: 15th Jun 2016 @ 2:01pm

In art this year we have been studying Nathan Wyburn. You might remember him from Britain's Got Talent a few years ago. He made a portrait of one of the judges out of toast and marmite. The children had to create a portrait of someone or design something using food in the same way Nathan Wyburn did. The effort the children and parents have put in has been brilliant. We can not thank parents enough for the continued support they have shown. I will be emailing Nathan Wyburn some of your spectacular art work you have made. I know he will be impressed. 

Well done everyone!

Nous aimons le rugby!, by Mrs Taylor

Date: 15th Jun 2016 @ 12:07pm

Today Q4 had some very exciting visitors as part of our international sports project. Saints prop forward Levy Nzoungou came with the Saints development officers to help us to practice our French and rugby skills. The children sang to Levy in French , spoke some sentences so that he could comment on their accents and asked him questions about life in France. We then went onto the field where coaches Gaz and Dan put us through our paces with core rugby skills. A representative from the Rugby League also came for the visit and as a French speaker himself he praised the children's accents, intonation and confidence. Well done Q4!
