Donna Fraser

Monday 2nd July was a big day for the school because Donna Fraser(olympic runner)came in and told us about her life and how she stated her career.The school were amazed to hear and learn how she accomplished her dreams. Thanks to her sister, she managed to persuade her mum and dad to allow her to join an athletics club as a child. Now she goes round schools and tells the students about her life being an Olympic runner. She does it because she wants to inspire others.

Fairtrade Trade tuck shop

A couple of weeks ago, we had our first fairtrade tuck shop. It was a great experience for all the fairtrade representitives and we hope to have another tuck shop soon. The year 6 and 5 children decorated the family room with balloons,flags and leaflets. All the children who were selling wore t-shirts to catch attention. We are aiming to become a fair trade school, ensuring as many of the products we buy and use in school as possible are Fair trade, so we are doing our bit to support this campaign. Are you a fair trade supporter?

Year 4 science day.

On the second of July, Year 4 had a very interesting science day. First, year 4 learnt all about habitats and what animals lived in them. Next, everyone made their own animal and wrote what they did and where they lived. Year 4 made a balloon rockets and sent them across the room on a piece of string. In the afternoon everyone made toy cars and when everyone finished they added carbon dioxide to power it. Year 4 raced with the cars and every boy was against a girl and most of the girls won with a special method. Overall, it was a lovely day and we learnt so much more than we knew before.

Rainforest Roadshow

In a couple of weeks, year 6 will be taking part in lots of exciting activities because, some rainforest animals such as; tirantulars ,snakes and monkies will be coming into our school for the year sixes to enjoy. This is a chance to let the year 6 children relax after their SAT's have been completed.The children will be told how to handle certain animals and then they will have a chance to hold the animals themselves.Throuout their school years, the year sixes have been on many trips but, hopfully this will be just as fun eventhough it will take place in school.
