We had a very special visitor last week – Katie from Science Buddies.  She brought with her some lambs’ hearts for us to dissect.  It was a really exciting workshop and we absolutely loved it.  It really helped us with our knowledge of the function of the heart as part of the circulatory system.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The SSOC Launch Day Event presented the students with the valuable opportunity to fully familiarise themselves with the aims, expectations and requirements of this year’s programme. They undertook a number of practical and theoretical based team building activities and challenges, whilst also having the fantastic experience to interact with Sports Leaders from all 8 local secondary Schools. Students were also presented with their unique SSOC leadership incentive packs including a fantastic T shirt. 

Well done to our team who got off to a flying start yesterday, winning one of their matches and securing a draw in their second. We are very proud!

Year 5 and 6 had an amazing time learning about Indian culture when they took part in a Bollywood dance workshop. The children learnt about the traditional dress and learnt 4 dances. A massive thanks to Sunita for so much fun!

PC Adam and PC Paul have been to visit Class 10 and 11 to talk about their role within our community and how they help us. They told us what it was like to be a police officer and talked about the different jobs they do. They showed us their uniform and the special equipment needed to do their job.

Another huge thank you to all the grown ups who attended Class 4’s ‘Meet the Teacher’ reading breakfast this morning.

Class 7 had an amazing morning with their grown ups at our first ‘Meet the Teacher’ reading breakfast. Thank you to everyone who took part and we look forward to welcoming grown ups from other classes very soon!

“It was lovely to meet the teacher before the usual time of parents evening. Nice to see which books they are reading so we can get the same books at home. The children really enjoyed their grownups being here. It was well structured and there was plenty of time to enjoy the book and the snacks were nice.”

Another comment was:

” I had a really lovely morning. It was great to be included in reading with our children and I look forward to many more sessions throughout the year”.

Class 6 have designed and constructed their very own mini greenhouses. Using their unique designs and a variety of materials. Their enthusiasm and teamwork shine through in every step of the process, from initial sketches to the final touches on their greenhouse projects.
