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!

Brockadale Nature Reserve

On Thursday, Yr 5 & 6 were given the challenge to complete a 12 km walk to Brockadale Nature Reserve and back. 5HJ supported each other along way and showed huge levels of determination and stamina. The sun was shining and we all had a fabulous time. I can’t wait for the fantastic year ahead! 

Primary School Christmas Musical

A massive well done to the fabulous children who took part in the Christmas musical last night. They put on a super performance, sang their hearts out and delivered their lines like oscar worthy actors. Their hard work, giving up their lunch times, staying after school and being pulled out of classes paid off, with them giving a performance of a lifetime. Well done to everybody who took part, we are incredibly proud of you!
