Black History Month in Reception

Reception have been looking at a South African folk tale as part of black history month. It is called Abiyoyo and we have watched and listened to the story and also made puppets so we could retell the story. 

We then learnt about Pharrell Williams who is a singer that has won lots of awards. We danced to his song 'Happy' which made us reflect on what makes us happy. Look at the happy faces we made to use in our dance routine!

Black History month

"Year 6 has been learning about Nelson Mandela's life this month, because it's Black History Month.

The whole school has been doing it.  In Year 6 we have been writing a biography about Nelson Mandela and his life in Africa and we made a comic life showing his life in chronological order."

Governors at The Harvest Festival

I enjoyed attending the recent Harvest Assemblies where the Rev Debbie had the children tasting fruit from gardens mentioned in the Bible, I was one of those who enjoyed a slice of green apple- but missed out on the olives! Some great singing from the children – who obviously enjoyed the “Harvest Rock & Roll.” Chris Thomas

World Maths Day in Year 6

The Year 6 children were very lucky to have some guests from Winchester University to help them with a project they were undertaking. They were looking at the book 'If The World Was A Village' and decided to make their own version about the Shirley Warren community. They made an e-book using the iPads, and this is a video of the book.......can you spot the dog food we mentioned previously on the blog? Please click here and find 'If Shirley Warren and The World were villages.'

No Pens Wednesday in Year 4!

Today is No Pens Wednesday so in maths we decided to investigate different things we could do in one minute. For example: How many skips in one minute?

Recycling pens

We're having no pen day today and also we are putting pens that don't work in a box and we will send them to a charity who recycle them and raise money for Naomi House children's hospice.

Please bring in any pens that don't work from home so we can collect lots and raise lots of money for charity.

We are collecting up to December.
