Well done Michael.

You are a very polite and well mannered boy and I am very proud of you.

Mrs Smith came to teach us all about making healthy lifestyle choices.

  We looked at food choices in particular and learned that we can eat 19g of sugar per day but that some foods contain almost our whole sugar allowance!

In Year 3, we have been linking science with DT. Currently our Science topic is ‘Light and Shadows’ and we have been learning that a shadow is formed when an object blocks the light. To show our learning, we made shadow puppets of characters from our current class novel - Fantastic Mr Fox. We made…

Meet the School Council for 2017-2018.

The minutes of their meetings can be found in the School Life section of the web site, where you will also find out more information about them and their work in school.

We have had a very active and interesting fortnight exploring the outdoors and learning a great deal along the way.

The children have enjoyed a variety of different hunting activities. First we hunted for minibeasts, then we hunted for bears and yesterday we hunted for numbers!

The class…

We had a fantastic time when Junior Lego STEM visited us.  We each made Lego spinners using our own algorithms.

Please read the comments below received from John Kirk, the storyteller who visited school last week.

I am very proud of all the staff and children.

I visited Gillibrand Primary School on Wednesday 20th September 2017 to present a retelling of Roald Dahl's "The Twits" to the whole…

Year Two had an amazing time on Monday learning how to programme with Lego Robotics. We made Lego models and then programmed them using computer software. Our models could rotate, light up and some of them even sounded like helicopters!

All our children have enjoyed the STEM days and I am so impressed with their knowledge.

I have really enjoyed listening to the children tell me about what they have done and what they have learned.

Nick, from Junior STEM, said how well behaved all our children were and how impressed he was…

Today we have had lots of fun in our Lego Robotics workshop. Nick, from Junior STEM, showed us the Lego we would be using to construct a model and then we applied our knowledge of algorithms and programming to programme, monitor and control our crocodiles. We all learnt a lot and managed to debug…

Sycamore Class have had a great morning with the Junior Stem Robotics workshop.  Initally they built a basic structure and had to program it to move using a simple algorithm.  Once the children had become accustomed to the equipment, they were set a challenge to create a moving monster.  The…

Today year four enjoyed a workshop carried out by Junior STEM Primary Robotics. 

The skills they had to cover were:

• identify lego pieces
• use engineering skills to build a Merry-Go-Round out of Lego.
• use programming skills to write an algorithm to control the Merry-Go-Round
• use…
