  • Waste Free Picnic

    Fri 14 Mar 2014
    During the month of March the Eco-Warriors raised our awareness of waste. The main focus was to reduce the amount of plastic waste we needed to dispose of. As part of this all the children took part in Bling a Bottle, where they recycled a plastic bottle and made it into something creative. Mrs Saunders’ class made the amazing Jellyfish that is hanging up in our school entrance.

    In addition on Friday 14th March we held a Waste Free Picnic on the field. The weather was very kind to us and we managed to hold the entire event outside. Thank you very much to our kitchen staff for providing the children with a waste free picnic. The children also made pledges to help reduce waste in our school.

    Thank you very much to the Eco-Warriors and Mrs Taylor for all her work in helping to make our school more Eco-friendly.

  • Key Strings

    Mon 10 Mar 2014
    On Monday 10th March we were visited by the group  ‘Key Strings’ - a music workshop we always eagerly look forward to!  This year’s theme, The Beatles, was both entertaining and informative.  Pupils were reminded of technical vocabulary such as timbre, pitch, texture and duration. 

    Some lucky children had the opportunity to play instruments along to tracks such as ‘Love Me Do’ and ‘Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Heart Club Band’.  Our school has some budding rock stars set to revive ‘Beatle Mania’!  A huge thank you to Mrs Wakelin for organising the visit, so that we could ‘Imagine’ ourselves as 1960s musicians!
