Hello, 

A short entry from me this week because I do not want to take the limelight away from Year 5 and their amazing performances of Bugsy Malone this week! A few highlights can be found on the school Facebook page here. 

Next week is a big week for Year 6 as it is their residential to Peat Rigg. Don't forget to pack sun cream! Looking at the weather forecast for next week we might need it and we are outdoors all day. 

On Wednesday, please can children arrive at school at the normal time but go straight to the hall (the side doors will be open). Any medication needs to be checked in with myself (both classes) and administering details confirmed. We will bring any in school medication (blue inhalers).   

We aim to leave school by 9:15am and return to school at the end of the school day (traffic permitting) - we will notify school if there is a significant delay.

If there are any queries ahead of Wednesday please do not hesitate to contact either Mrs Trotter or myself on our class email addresses.

A reminder of the kit list is attached.

And finally, a reminder that the Scholastic Book Fair is in school the first week back after the holidays! 

Have a lovely weekend!

Hello! 

UKS2 had an exciting morning on Thursday as they were visited by Maya archaeologist, Dr Diane Davis, who brought along lots of fascinating Maya artefacts and delivered a fantastic assembly all about her work in the rainforest and the areas inhabited by the Maya. We all learnt lots of interesting facts about the Maya and have lots of budding archaeologists now! Dr Diane chose six "Maya experts" from the three classes who really impressed her during her visit and she also gave out some Maya worry dolls to her runners up! You can see some pictures on the school Facebook page here. The link to Dr Diane's website is also below if you would like to learn more and do some research at home. 
In other news, Y5 had a great time on Tuesday morning visiting Benton Park to watch the dress rehearsal of "We Will Rock You". This was great in advance of our performances of Bugsy Malone next week and gave the children lots of performance tips. We are all super excited about Bugsy next week! If your child has not yet brought in their costume please make sure this is in by Monday in time for the dress rehearsal. For any information regarding tickets please contact the office. 
The Y6 residential to Peat Rigg is also drawing closer so if you have any questions about this please get in touch ASAP. Please also make sure your child has been practising making their own bed as this is their first challenge on arrival! 
Have a lovely weekend.

Hello, 

We have had another really busy week in UKS2. 

In English we have been writing balanced arguments, in maths we have been learning about decimals, fractions and angles, in science we have been learning how to classify animals into groups based on their characteristics and in topic we learnt about the different terrain in Mesoamerica and goods the Maya people had to trade because of this. 

Some children also went out on a cinema trip, Year 5 have been busy rehearsing for Bugsy and next week we have a trip to Benton Park for Year 5 to watch We Will Rock You and some Year 6 children have been invited to a transition basketball event! 

Phew... I think that is everything! 

Have a good weekend!
