Year 6 Music
6JJ have prepared, practised and perfected our performance of ‘stomp’ and we have performed to a live audience – the rest of the school! We hope our parents enjoyed the performance at our work sharing.
Year 5 Raps
Thank you to all those who came out in the pouring rain to hear our class raps.
Whenever you have time, please help us make sure all Year 5 children can read a clock to the minute, understand am and pm and the 24 hour clock.
Happy Christmas and see you rested and ready in the New Year.

Year 6 Science Trip
Year 6 had a wonderful fun filled, science experience at Winchester Science Centre. We explored many areas of the hands on science exhibits before taking a trip around space in the planetarium. Next, we headed to the Computer lab where we proved our fantastic coding skills to code our festive robots. Finally, more time was spent exploring the space section on the centre and discovering yet more science facts. A great learning opportunity for us, all which really brought our science learning alive!
Year 3 Fraction Work
We played a fraction game in groups to show what fractions are and that the whole number is split into equal parts. This helped us to understand the numerator and denominator of fractions.
Year 5 – lovely leaves!
Looking for something beautiful to brighten up a wall?
Look no further than our delicate, dynamic tropical leaves.
We have used pencil sketching skills, chalk pastel blending and colour mixing skills to produce these tropical treasures.
Who would have thought we only had white, black, yellow and blue pastels?
Hot tip: make room for our next project – space themed art showing off toning skills!
Safety Day 2018
On Friday 28th September we held our annual Safety Day in school. The children enjoyed the activities designed to raise their awareness of ways they can keep themselves safe. All the year groups discussed what to do in and emergency, how to call for help and stranger danger. Then Year 3 learned about Road Safety, Year 4 looked at how they can stay safe at the beach, Year 5 learned about Fire Safety and actions to take in the case of a fire and Year 6 talked about Fireworks and how to make sure the Firework code is followed.
Year 5 Tag Rugby
A huge thank you to new sports coach, Mr Williams, for making our rugby sessions fast, furious and fun-filled.
We have learned how to avoid being tagged and how to hunt down those tags that enter our zone.
Year 4 – Story Writing Success
One of our year 4 boys enjoyed a star-studded day out in London last week, as a finalist in the BBC Radio 2 500 words competition.
Hector reached the top 50 of the short story competition out of a record 135,000 entries.
His story – Bob and the Plastic Pirates – was recorded by the BBC Radio Drama Company and can be heard/read here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/cfWqGbXF0GN8c1R77mpdYm/bob-and-the-plastic-pirates
The final was held at Hampton Court Palace during the recording of the Chris Evans Breakfast Show, with the Duchess of Cornwall – the competition’s honorary judge – in attendance.
Hector’s friends in year 4 were able to listen in!
On the day he was lucky enough to meet celebrities including David Walliams, Jim Broadbent, Alexandra Burke and Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter films).
Hector also chatted with children’s author Malorie Blackman who, when she knew 4HL had read her book, Operation Gadgetman, asked Hector to say hello to the class from her.
