Year 5 River Trip

Posted on by

What a perfect day for splashing about in a river!
We found rapids by the water meadows and water alive with invertebrates at Parsonage Park.
Ask us about our mayfly larvae.  We had a visitor in from the chalk stream association.
Hopefully we will have some hatchlings to release back into the environment one day after school – watch this post for details.
Thank you to Mrs Sayers-Carter, Mrs Godden, Miss Keitley and all school staff who have helped make this an exciting and useful local trip.

Year 6 Greek food tasting

Posted on by

When you need to design and make your own Greek Salad what better way to research then to visit the ‘Greek Market’ and do some food tasting! That’s what Year 6 did this week and were surprised to find some new foods they like including olives and feta cheese. We are looking forward to our master chef experience of making our Greek salads over the next few weeks!

Choir at Fordingbridge Culture Week

Posted on by

Last Friday after a wet and rainy morning, the choir walked to St Mary’s Church to perform to a packed audience.

FJS choir started the performance by singing four of their favourite songs including Make Your Own Kind of Music and How far I go, followed by the FIS choir.  The choirs then came together as a joint choir to sing five songs including A Million Dreams, Believe and Mamma Mia as their finale.

Both choirs sang beautifully and with such confidence.  It was a fantastic performance and a real pleasure to see them perform.  Well done.

Year 3 Teamwork

Posted on by

Children in Year 3 have been focusing on teamwork this week and working really well together.

In Science they’ve been learning about three different types of rocks – sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous – and having a go at recognising them. Then in English, they’ve been looking at catchy and exciting headlines in newspaper articles and picking out their best, ready to write their own article.
