Easter Service

On 20th March an Easter Service was held in school. All the children enjoyed joining in the singing. Some children recited Easter poems, Y6 portrayed the Easter story using drama. Y2 read a lovely Easter prayer. We learned about the origin of hot cross buns from Y4! The children enjoyed the raffle where the lucky numbers won Easter eggs.

Book Week

The children in the MSB thoroughly enjoyed the activities in Book Week. They had a fantastic time on the fun day and were dressed up in costumes related to a sea theme. There were some very interesting characters! In literacy they composed poems about the beach and in numeracy enjoyed making bar charts about favourite activities at the beach. All the children took part in the sponsored word search about sea creatures.

What's My Line

The children in Y5 enjoyed joining in with their partnership class for "What's my Line" in February. A group of professionals came into school and described their jobs in the style of the TV game show. They gave the children clues about what they did. The children had to ask relevant questions to try to find out what their line of work was. The children joined in well and enjoyed it.

Roman Lady Visit

The children in the Mainstream Support Base enjoyed a visit from a Roman lady.

On Monday 15th October the children enjoyed a visit from a Roman lady. She talked to the children about life in Roman times and dressed up two of the children in Roman costume. One of the children dressed up as a Roman soldier but the armour was very heavy. She demonstrated weaving and they enjoyed having a go! The children thoroughly enjoyed it and were very interested in the artifacts which they touched and handled.

Visit to Hill Top School

On Monday 30th April a group of children enjoyed visiting Hill Top School. They joined in team games with Colegate and Hill Top schools. The four activities were kurling, golf kurling, table cricket and boules. The children thoroughly enjoyed playing the games and learning new skills. The children at Hill Top helped to organise the morning and were extremely helpful. At the end the children were presented with a certificate. We hope to continue to build the links between the two schools.
