Swans
The children had an amazing evacuee lunch at The Shed in Sproughton. Berty was impressed with all their knowledge about WW2 and they learnt a lot more from the artefacts which he shared – including the air raid siren!
In Science The Swans have been learning about specular and diffuse reflection. They were able to draw scientific diagrams to show how light is absorbed more by some materials than others. They then had some fun trying to reflect light beams to hit a target and using multiple mirrors to guide cars around a road with […]
In art we have begun looking at the artist Henry Moore. We explored mixing colours and different drawing media to create the different colours and effects he uses in his ‘Shelter paintings’.
In July 2023, Yer 5 & 6 visited Plas y Brenin in Snowdonia for their residential trip. They were involved in many, many activities which included gorge scrambling, canoeing and mountain walking. The scenery was stunning and very different from Suffolk. The instructors were amazing and the children’s behaviour, confidence and willingness to try new […]
On Wednesday 19th July, the Owls and Swans performed the musical ‘Annie’ to family, friends and staff and children in the school. The children acted and sung beautifully and confidently and wowed the audiences with their various talents, including those who helped with props and music. Of course, this performance would not have happened without […]
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 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.
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 […]
