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.
Another busy week!
This week 5EG have been scientists, historians, and presenters! During our expedition lessons they have been studying the heart, how it works, why we need it and what it looks like. Each child was given the opportunity to study a lambs heart, and find all the key features. We also finally managed our walk to Campsall Church, to learn more about how the Plague affected our local area, while also learning about Campsall Hall.
The children were especially pleased to show off their amazing final product from our last expedition ‘Why should we help our planet survive?’. A big thank you to the parents that were able to make it, and I hope you are as proud of their work as they are.
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.

Automaticity…
Posh word isn’t it? Basically meaning performing a task almost unconsciously. This is the state we wish our pupils to be in when recalling their times tables, especially by the end of year 4. From time to time however, we witness the unique. Watch and behold.
Torres, take a bow son!
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!
Newsround Presenters
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!
Mary Prince Presentations
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.
