• Tom Palmer visits school

  Thu 21 Nov 2019
  We had a visit from an author, Tom Palmer on Tuesday 19th November. We started with an assembly and then he visited each of the classes in turn to talk about how he writes books. He has to do loads of research and he talks to many different people about the subject. He makes a scrap book about the characters and the plan for the story. It was really interesting and we all want to read some of his books!

  Y5 girls competed in a Netball Festival at Sheffield Girls' on Tuesday 19th November.  They  played against 5 other teams, played fantastic netball, and came first in the competition.  

   

  They won every game, and didn't concede a single goal in the entire competition.  

   

  Well done girls.  You are all amazing!

• D and T Day - Tuesday 22nd October

  Thu 07 Nov 2019

  A great day was had by all, as the children headed for the jungle on their D and T day!

   

  For the day, the whole school worked together on a broad range of designing and making activities which involved a variety of techniques including designing, drawing, assembling and making. The day encouraged children to learn to think  creatively to solve problems both as individuals and as members of a team.  

  In each year group the children worked through five stages in varying degrees of detail. They were:

  Background Research –Exploring context and existing products

  Design–Understanding their intended users and their own product

  Planning – Communicating ideas and creating prototypes for product

  Making – Selecting the tools and applying the practical skills and techniques

  Evaluation – Referring to planning and initial ideas in evaluating their product.

   

  The children had some amazing end products, including: Outdoor shelters, leaver and pulley systems to climb jungle vines, jungle shelters and bridges through the jungle canopy.

   

  Well done to everyone!

• Can you help one of our lovely children ?

  Sun 29 Sep 2019

  Amy has grown and then cut her hair to donate it to the Princess Trust. She has done this because she learnt at Brownies that some children can’t grow their hair and she would like another child to have hair and feel beautiful.

   

  The Little Princess Trust make amazing high-quality real hair wigs. From receiving hair donations at their office, through to fitting and styling a bespoke wig, it costs the charity from £550 to provide a real-hair wig free-of-charge, at a time when families really need their help.

   

  They currently supply over 100 wigs every month. The Little Princess Trust needs financial donations as well as hair donations, in order to fund the actual manufacturing of the wigs and wig-fitting service. In addition to the free wig provision they fund research into finding better treatments for childhood cancers Every penny that you can spare really does count. 

   

  Please take a moment to consider donating to Amy’s Just Giving page in support of her big hair cut day and any money raised will go straight to the Princess Trust.

   

  Thank you
