The Gift of Giving

After selling academic calendars from our previous expedition, Fight For Your Rights, and hosting a bake sale, Year 5 & 6 students raised over £600 to support not one, but two local food bank charities!

A huge thank you to all the parents, students, and everyone involved for making this happen. Your hard work and generosity are helping provide food for families in need within our community.

Snowy fun!

The snow brought pure joy to the playground yesterday. Laughter filled the air as the children played in the fresh snow, making the most of every frosty moment.

It was the perfect day for outdoor fun and a reminder of how exciting nature can be! Let’s hope there’s more snow to come!

Masters of Short Multiplication!

5HJ have been diving into the short multiplication and it’s been fantastic to see their progress! With a bit of practice and plenty of focus, they’ve been mastering how to multiply larger numbers step by step. The children have really embraced the challenge showing a lot of determination and teamwork as they solve problems. Not only are they sharpening their multiplication skills but they’re also building confidence. It’s exciting to watch them grow in their understanding and enjoy the process of problem-solving!

Reptile Rendezvous

Our class had a fantastic visit from an animal expert who introduced us to some incredible creatures — including a snake, tarantula, skunk and meerkat! The pupils loved getting up close to the animals, learning about their unique habitats and discovering what they like to eat.

It was an unforgettable hands-on learning experience!

Rainforest Survival Guides

This week, Year 5 have been putting their creativity and research skills to the test by planning and writing their very own Amazon Rainforest Survival Guides.

From deadly predators to poisonous fruits, the children explored the challenges of surviving in one of the world’s most extreme environments. They thought carefully about the skills, equipment and knowledge needed to stay safe, and presented their ideas through engaging writing filled with detail and imagination.

Y5/6 Mixed Cricket @ Askern CC

More success today as the Y5/6 mixed cricket team secured silver medals. Unfortunately, the final did not go their way but there were stellar performances all around. A shout out to one of our youngest team members for her incredible performances over the last two days (girls and mixed cricket tournaments): Eleanora!

Well done to both the girls and the boys teams for all their practice during lunchtimes and break times. Onto the Y3/4 cricket tournaments in a couple of weeks time!
