Swans
This week was rather busy for our sports teams. On Tuesday, 8 Owls class children took part in a handball tournament at Inspire Ipswich. We didn’t win the tournament, but all the children showed great skill, team work and determination. On Friday 8 children represented our school in the High 5 competition at East Bergholt High […]
On Friday 15th April, it was the Swans Class Assembly. The children read some of the newspaper reports they had been writing, and reported on recent class events, such as biscuit making, Bikeability and the basketball tournament. The highlight was the investigative work that the children had produced for World Maths Day last term. All […]
Just look at how far the children have come on with their skiing. After only two half terms of lessons they have the confidence to ski from the top of the big slope. As you can see have so much fun doing it.
We finished the end of term with an Easter Assembly. Parents, grandparents and friends of the school joined us for songs, poems and readings. Swans retold the Easter story, Owls read some of their own poems, including an Easter rap; Woodpeckers told the story of ‘We’re going on an Easter Egg hunt’ and re-told the […]
Over 20 children took to the slopes for another series of ski lessons. Lots of the children were skiing from the top, some were flying over the ‘moguls’ (bumps), but most importantly all the children learnt new skills and had a fantastic time – and can’t wait for the next set of lessons !
As part of our DT work, the Swans designed and made dairy and nut free ginger biscuits. We based our designs around Easter. We also brought in our Maths work on ratio, as we had to double the quantities given in the recipe. The results were delicious!
7 children from the Swans class were recently involved in a 2-day Bikeability course. They learnt some basic manoeuvres and also how to ride their bike safely on the road, showed an awareness of potential hazards and also demonstrated a basic understanding of the Highway Code. All children passed their Level 2 award. Well done children!
Today children and mums (and grandmums) enjoyed a belated Mother’s Day lunch. Rachel, the cook, prepared a roast chicken dinner followed by sticky toffee pudding and custard. There were lots of empty plates and very full tummies! It was lovely seeing so many of you join us for this special lunch.
Today the children and staff celebrated World Book Day by coming to school dressed as their favourite book character. The day started with a parade in the playground, looking at the different costumes and characters. The children then took part in different activities in their house groups. Miss Jones provided an activity based on Maths […]
On Wednesday the children and staff celebrated World Maths Day. The children had lots of fun using their mathematical knowledge to problem solve and investigate. Kingfisher Class had lots of Maths challenges which involved counting, patterns and shapes. Woodpeckers and Owls Class took part in a Murder Mystery afternoon solving problems and finding clues. Swans class […]
The JRSO’s carried out a road safety check. They wanted to see if children and parents were travelling to school safely. They looked for parents parking correctly, children walking and crossing the road correctly, children riding their scooters or bicycles safely and wearing a cycle helmet. The JRSO’s were pleased with what they saw but have […]
The JRSO’s joined the Community Speed Awareness Team for a speed check outside the Black Horse Public House. The JRSO’s watched how the camera was used and were told what information was needed like the car registration number and make of car. The JRSO’s watched the cars and noted down any information they could, they had […]
