Year six have been working with the Warner Textile Archive to find out about different sewing techniques, decoration and embroidery. The children made their artwork based on Pandora's box which we have been studying in English and across other curriculum subjects.
On Thursday 10th June, Rowans class took part in a Middle School Sports Day. All of the children enjoyed their day and had lots of fun. They were all extremely encouraging and supportive to everyone in their team. Despite a huge team effort, Rowans came 3rd out of the year 3 classes. We were incredibly proud of their resilience and sportsmanship on the day!
Watch Poplars sports day here.
Maples had a great week learning about Healthy Bodies and Healthy Minds. We learned a lot about mental health and explored different ways we can help manage our emotions and feel positive. We looked at healthy foods and tried lots of unusual fruit and vegetables that are healthy snacks. We were very surprised at the sugar content of some of our favourite drinks. We did lots of fitness and physical activity all week, culminating in our Sports Morning on Friday. The children all worked very hard and encouraged each other to be the best they could be...it was fantastic that the class had the most points of the Year 6 classes and that Courtney and Orlaith won the individual prizes for Year 6.
Pines enjoyed their sports morning, even though parents couldn’t attend, the children gave the best they could and they helped one another. Well done Pines – lots of you achieving your best scores.
Hawthorns took part in the year six sports day - they all had great fun and worked hard to improve on their scores.
For Comic Relief, Year 5 did a Superhero Car Wash to raise money. Everybody in Year 5 dressed up as any superhero and had their own sections of staff cars to clean. In those groups we were put into groups of 3 to wash our assigned cars. We then gave out donation cards for the staff to complete on how well a job we did. In total, we raised an amazing £324.90 for charity.
A huge well done to all of Year 5 and a special thanks for the kind donations from the staff members too.
Year six have recently made pillows in design and technology: they had to come up with a design to do with World War 2. The children decided to either complete 2, 4 or 6 boxes on their material. When they had their design they transferred it onto their pillows and then used back and running stitch to sew around the pictures, words and letters they had drawn. Once they had completed the sewing they were able to colour in their designs with fabric crayons and pens. Finally, they stuffed the pillows and sealed them up using blanket stitch.
Elms had a great time at their xmas party today - they loved all the party games!
On Tuesday 17th December 2019 we had the annual JBP curling competition.
Year 6 recently went to Fairplay House for their residential. The children tried all the different activities: archery, caving, big swing and woodland games. We also completed a night walk which was rather scary! The children had great fun and really enjoyed their time their. Here are some photos and videos.
