A big Year 3 thank you goes out today to the 5 members of Year 6 that have been our helpers this week. From being classroom TAs to playing dodgeball, we have absolutely loved having them in our classes. The children have loved having them in class and they were amazing models to the younger children.
Today they teamed up with a few year 3 children to create a fabulous pairing to celebrate the Platinum’ Jubilee
This week, year 5 were lucky enough to receive a visit from an expert who spoke knowledgeably about the circulatory system and taught the children the importance of keeping their hearts healthy through a balanced diet, exercise and plenty of sleep! The pupils also had the opportunity to use a stethoscope for some hands on learning! What a treat!
To celebrate the Platinum Jubilee 3LG have been working really hard to learn March of the Golden Guards on the recorder. 3LG have worked really hard since February half term in their weekly recorder lesson, learning lots of new notes, discovering how to read music, practicing different songs and finding out about rhythm and beat.
Last week 3LG went on our fieldwork to Brodsworth Hall. We spent the day exploring the gardens, following the statue trail and viewing the house. The children asked lots of amazing questions about Brodsworth Hall and Peter Thellusson and as a result found out lots of exciting facts.
3LG were a credit to the school and numerous members of the public approached myself and Mrs Gracey to tell us how well behaved and polite the children were. They were a great representation of our school and all did themselves proud.
At the start of this week, 4TE took a trip down to Brodsworth Hall to explore more details about our expedition, ‘Why is Sugar Not So Sweet’. We all had a brilliant time exploring the hall and gardens and speaking to some experts about this fantastic building steeped in history! Above is a video of some of the pictures from our trip, and below are the photos used in the video, plus a few extra ones, 4TE hope you enjoy!
On Tuesday, year 3 were lucky enough to visit the beautiful Brodsworth Hall exploring the history of the house and it’s links to the transatlantic slave trade. The grounds are absolutely stunning and the children enjoyed looking at all the original pieces of furniture and artefacts inside.
A massive well done to everybody that took part in the Y3 Chance to Dance Easter School. The performance you put on was absolutely amazing.
We are so happy and excited to announce that the winners have been selected and will be starting their tuition at Hazelbiz Performers Academy in September. Well done girls, we can’t wait to see how you get on as your dance journey continues.
Today, 4TE have become news reporters! Recently, we have been learning about the tarnished history of sugar and its links to slavery. We have specifically been looking at the life and times of Mary Prince – a famous abolishionist. Below is a compilation of various parts of our individual news reports blended into one. The children wrote their own scripts and researched all of the information themselves. This has hopefully culminated in a very professional and informative report!
Today, 3HJ took on the role of news readers, presenting their research about the Triangular Slave trade and the lives of Equiano and Mary Prince. Each group worked well together to plan and write their scripts which were carefully practised and performed to the whole class. Future journalists in the making!
Today the children pretended to be news readers and presented their research from yesterday about Mary Prince. They pretended they were the first people to report on Mary Prince, telling the class everything about her, from her time as a slave to the part she played in the abolition of slavery.
