This week saw the whole of Y3/4 visit XP School in order to record NJS’s part of the single made as per our current expedition. A few things of note, the children represented our school superbly. During recording, they sang superbly. During a tour of a reording studio, they listened superbly and throughout the whole trip, they behaved superbly. Superb! It’s only a matter of time now before our single is released. Watch this space…
Maths lessons are far more enjoyable when they include a murder mystery! This week, y5 put their investigative skills to the test to solve the mystery of who murdered the young millionaire, Henry Baskerville, following a dinner party at Baskerville Hall. Our young detectives had to calculate the perimeter of all the rooms in the hall in order to generate an 8-digit code, which opened the padlocked journal of the murderer. Who needs Sherlock Holmes with y5 on the case!
This morning 5EG chose to have an extended break time for their Flexible Friday Crew. It was so great to see the children having fun with their friends in the sunshine and playing some fab playground games.
Y5/6 Dodgeball Tournament @ Campsmount
On Wednesday 16th March, two teams made the trip up to Campsmount for the upper key stage 2 dodgeball tournament, neither disappointed! Demonstrating sportsmanship, teamwork and excellent communication, both teams reached the latter stages of the tournament with team A being awarded third overall.
Stories of the tournament’s final have been heard in every corner of school since Wednesday afternoon, with hero, Harry from 6CC, clinching victory from the jaws of defeat as we heroically landed a decisive shot during a one on one duel with his opponent from a rival school. We are pleased to say that even in victory, the children celebrated the effort of the opposing teams and thoroughly enjoyed the competition. Well done year 5&6!
Year 6 PE: Football ⚽️
This week in Year 6 PE, 6SO and 6CC enjoyed developing their passing skills in a mixture of skill activities and five-a-side games. Well done to all!
This week, Years 3 and 4 finally embarked down to XP in Doncaster to record our part of the song ‘Dear World’ which has been written by all of the different schools across the trust. Everyone got the chance to experience what it takes to record a real song and got a behind the scenes look into a recording studio to see the magic that goes into creating our favourite hits. For our future smash hit, we pushed ourselves and now our hard work is done, we shall be able to revel in the fruits of our labour in the future when the song is fully produced and ready to be released. Until then, we shall wait with great anticipation!
Yesterday, LKS2 visited XP to record our verses of our beautiful and thought provoking charity single. As well as smashing the vocals we also had a tour of a professional recording studio. We had chance to look at the equipment needed to produce a song and even tried out some of the musical instruments too! Safe to say we need a little more practice before creating our own music!
Yesterday LKS2 headed to XP to record our section of Dear World. We worked really hard, sang our hearts out and it paid off with the final recording sounding superb. We also got a tour of a professional recording studio, and had a talk all about the equiptment and work that goes into making the music we hear on the radio. To finish the day we even got to try out some of the instruments in the studio, and had particular fun with the drum set!
