• Y3 Have a Fantastic Time At Magna

  Fri 17 Nov 2017 Mr Wallis
  What a brilliant day we had at MAGNA this week. 

  The Fantastic Foxes and Aslans learnt all about how volcanoes are formed; creating their own eruptions with baking soda and vinegar. They looked at different metals, what happens to metal when it gets hot and they got a little wet when experimenting with water in the water room!

  Thanks for such an exciting, informative and enlightening day.

• What A Fantastic Day Out At Warwick Castle For Y4

  Sun 05 Nov 2017 Mr Wallis

  We were treated to a fantastic day out yesterday at Warwick Castle with the fabulous Year 4s. Setting off from school with an early start of 8.30am the children chatted and played Top Trumps (Monarchy Version) on the coach on the way to the castle. We arrived just after 10.30am and headed for the imposing castle entrance. we walked, via the main courtyard, to the bank opposite the magnificent Warwick Castle Trebuchet and watched the Trebuchet Show whilst having lunch. Then we set off for the King Maker and Time Tower Attractions before watching the first of two Bird of Prey Displays. This was particularly exciting, as powerful yet agile predators flew within inches of our heads, in a show of menacingly beautiful falconry.

  The trip wouldn’t have been complete without a walk along the castle ramparts and up high into Guy’s Tower where we could view the castle from up high and see the snaking proximity of the Avon river.

  The children had a brilliant time and even though the journey home was unexpectedly long and frustrating, the children remained upbeat having had a day to remember.

  Well done to the staff on the trip and all the staff in school who along with our patient Year 4 parents ensured the children will have memories to cherish forever.

  

• Spend a Penny, Spend £304.35

  Sun 05 Nov 2017 Mr Wallis

  Thank you all so much for your fundraising efforts this week. On Wednesday we had our Harvest Assembly and all children and staff were invited to wear blue for the day (not necessarily school uniform)!

  https://www.toilettwinning.org

  This fantastic charity helps those in desperate poverty to have access to a proper latrine, clean water and the information they need to be healthy. Our donation of £304.35 enables us to be twinned with some toilets that have been built in an area of poverty to improve the life of all those living there.

  For just a £60 donation we can twin our loo with an impoverished family’s household latrine. For a £240 donation, we will be able to twin with a school block or a block of toilets in a displacement camp. A donation of over £300 means we can now make a real difference to the lives of whole communities.

  Congratulations and thanks for your generosity and support.
