4TE’s Trip to Brodsworth Hall!

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!

HOWZAT!

For P.E this week, 6CC received some cricket training ahead of the second summer term. The warm up focused on heightening their alertness and reaction times ahead of a smaller game; we certainly have a high number of competitive individuals in Year 6!

Looking at developing their bowling and batting skills, the children moved onto a small, four-sided game, where all had a chance to show their stuff with a cricket ball and bat; following this, the class was then split into two teams for a class quick cricket match in the sun.

6CC’s visit to the Thackray Museum!

On Tuesday, 6CC and 6SO visited the Thackray Museum in Leeds to gain an insight into the history of healthcare in Britain. The children began their journey at ‘Disease Street’: a Victorian street showcasing the horrifically unhygienic conditions and how medical emergencies were conducted at the time – without anaesthetic and any care for cleanliness. Further into the museum, the children learned about the stories behind some of the most prolific medical inventions and discoveries from the 1800s, such as Semelweiss and Lister. Watch our video to take a trip with us!

2022 Chance to Dance Champions

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.

Plenty s’more where that came from!

To celebrate completing this years SATs, 6CC took to the woodland area this morning to enjoy a very different treat. Following a safety briefing from our own outdoors expert, Mrs Blunt, each child roasted their own marshmallow under her guidance to make their very own s’more. It is no surprise the s’mores did not last long and the treat went down very well amongst the class.

Breaking News! 4TE are first on the scene!

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!
