‘The Magic’s In Me’ Combined Schools Dance Project Our Year 5 children worked alongside dance tutor, Sam Moss, over a seven week period. Sam also worked with three other schools and then brought all four schools together at the Dance House in Ipswich where the children rehearsed throughout the afternoon, bringing their four dances together, and then performed to parents in the evening. The dance was based on the story of ‘The Secret Garden’ by Frances Hodgson-Burnett. Our children also produced art work that formed a backdrop to their dance. Easter Church Visits
Poetry Week
There were some fantastic class poems and stand out individual performances too. We have definitely got some budding poets and performers in the school!
Bombs and Blackberries
Thank you to Mrs Seabrook, Mrs Clayton and Mrs Doyle for helping the children put on such a lovely performance. The biggest well-done of all goes to the children for all their hard work!
Alfie Strange As well as the historical themes, the story concluded with Fred and Fred being desperate to borrow Alfie’s history book – sending the message to the children that non-fiction books can be really entertaining. The children learnt lots of history and had a chance to talk
to the actors afterwards to delve deeper into the historical aspects of the story. It was a wonderful performance and we were all thoroughly entertained.
On 4th March, class 4 visited Sizewell Power station near Leiston. We learnt about different ways that power can be generated; made electric circuits and found out about how the power stationed works.
There were all sorts of models and machines that we could have a go on – on one of them we each had to turn a handle as fast as we could to see how much electricity we could generate and another one had a Geiger counter so we could see how radioactive different materials were. We also did a science experiment about friction where we had to transfer jelly cubes from one dish to another with chop sticks. We really enjoyed our trip.
Fairtrade Breakfast All of our volunteers were fantastic and everybody had a good breakfast. There was lots on offer and many many Fair-trade products such as Banana pancakes, toast, orange juice and hot chocolate. The reps had also made Banana and Chocolate Muffins for the Fair-trade Breakfast which were delicious. We made a fantastic £79.54 which we will be using to purchase more Fair-trade products and the School Council reps will decide how they would like to spend their money. Thank you to everyone that came along. Tractors in School
There were lots of different activities such as using space hoppers, balancing bean bags on heads and aiming at targets. There was something for everyone and all of the children had smiles on their faces all afternoon!
Well done Class 1! Basketball Tournament
Our first game was against St Mary’s and they won 4-2 but we still played very well and kept our heads up for the next game. The next game was against Kyson B and we WON! 10-8! We were so pleased with ourselves and kept that attitude for the rest of the tournament. In the next game we played Sandlings and we drew 4-4. We were still enjoying ourselves! After that we played Hollesley. We thrashed them and won 6-2! Then we got into the third/fourth place final. We were playing for third place but were beaten by Bawdsey. Their height was incredibly tall! And they could jump and touch the net! They were a great team and won 10-2. Our team was a bit disappointed but still happy to take fourth place in the tournament. The whole school had a go at Archery. Miss Oakley had given the Year 6s three choices and they thought the whole school would like Archery. A great choice Year 6 because they did! Everybody loved having trying to hit the target. I think there may be some budding archers amongst you! You are very lucky children because I know the teachers were itching to have a go!
