Sports Relief walk!

The entire school decided to take the Sports Relief challenge today; the school’s ‘Children’s Voice’ decided that they too would like to face a challenge, walking 1.75 miles from school to Maiden Castle and back. Despite it being rather chilly and a Friday afternoon, the children did this in super spirits and attitude. We were also pleased to see the Yr 4 children clearly supporting their buddies from Reception class to complete the walk.

We would like to thank the super turn out of parents today, enabling the children to complete this walk. The children have raised over £150 today and should be extremely proud of their efforts and awareness of supporting such a worthy charity.

Fixing a Puncture - Year 3

Our Thanks to Jonathan Dixon from Sustrans who popped into Year 3 after our "Bike-It Breakfast" on Tuesday and showed the children how to fix a puncture on a bicycle.
All of the children had the chance to fix a punctured inner-tube.

Year 3 finding out about Anglo-Saxons

We will be finding out more about life in the past in the local area.
Our particular focus is the Ridgeway area around 1000 years ago.
This BBC website would be a useful one to take a look at to gather some general information about life in Anglo-Saxon Britain:

Torches for our Science lesson on Wednesday please

Dear Parents,
I'd be very grateful if the children could bring a torch to school for our Science lesson on Wednesday.
(Don't worry if you don't have one. - We'll need 8 or so, and I'm sure we can share.)
We are exploring whether materials are transparent, translucent or opaque.
Please pop your name on any torches brought in.
Thank you
Mr. MacBean
