On Wednesday 21st June, a group of children represented our school in the netball county final. They played really well demonstrating good team spirit and skill. Thank you to Mrs Wyncoll and Mrs Allum for coaching and accompanying them to the tournaments.
In Science we dissected a heart. The children had been learning about the heart in previous lessons so this really helped embed the learning. Some of them were really brave and used scalpels to cut into the chambers!
The children in Years 5 & 6 had the opportunity to take part in some Bikeability sessions. These sessions, which were delivered by John and Penny, taught the children some skills so they know how to keep themselves safe whilst out on their bikes on the road. All the children did extremely well. Thanks John & […]
The Swans have been learning about ‘The Stolen Generation’. They wrote an explanation text about this; and one child was asked to read her work to the class. The standard of their writing has been exceptional. The children have learnt about the effects of colonisation on the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children who were […]
In the recent after school science club, the children experimented with different material to see which was the most effective to make ‘skittles’. Great fun was had by all.
The Swans visited the Genome research campus in Cambridge today and learnt about DNA and sequencing. This was an amazing opportunity to visit a world famous research lab and discuss the scientific research that goes on there. Hopefully it has inspired some of them to become Scientists in their future years!
The Swans enjoyed their ‘Immersion Day’ learning about aboriginal art. They created dot paintings to decorate the class in preparation for their new Geography topic on Australia.

These have included U11 netball – where the team came second; U7 dodgeball; skiing competition and a virtual gymnastics tournament where our u11 team came first; our U9 A came first and our U9 team came second and our U7 team who […]
The Swans have been learning about identity fraud. They took part in a workshop run by ‘Natwest’ Bank and learnt about the ways in which criminals try and claim your identity so that they can then apply for bank loans or mortgages. Hopefully they are all now more aware of how to protect their identity.
The children have been learning how to place a casualty into the recovery position and how to perform CPR and use defibrillators – using resuscitation dummies. They were also shown what to do in the event of a choking incident as part of their PSHE unit on managing risks and safety. The children posed some […]
In History, we have been learning about why the British invaded Benin. We had to create a fortune graph and place the different events on a graph according to whether they were good or bad for the kingdom,. We then had to consider 3 key turning points in Benin’s history and articulate our views to […]
