Middle School (MS)

Middle School have been introduced to the wonderful world of Boccia! We have learnt that it is an inclusive sport, requiring skill, problem-solving and a good aim!

Middle School met The Snarget boys in Stig of the Dump and reinacted the moment they came under attack by Barney as he tried to scare them away to protect Stig and the den. They also made lots of predictions about what they thought might be in the box left by the Snarget boys, and what they…

Middle School absolutely loved getting out the ukuleles. In our first lesson, we learnt the parts of the musical instrument, how to hold it, signals for our music lessons, the string names, how to tune a ukulele and how to strum in rhythm to a song!

Superstars! 

We were so excited to have a visitor to our RE lesson this week. Mrs Hurley’s friend Sarah came into school with her brand new baby, Florence, to talk to Year 3 and 4 about how her life (and the life of the people around her) has changed since her baby was born. 
The children were brilliant at…

This week in English, Middle School have been thinking about the purpose of adverts and how they are successful at grabbing attention. 

In our story - ‘Stig of the Dump’ by Clive King - Barney and Stig are being very resourceful with items and tools…so we worked on creating adverts to sell…

Our learning journey has continued in Science as we explored gases this week. 
 

First of all, the children had to predict which of the bottles of liquid would have the most ‘fizz’. They ordered them from least to most and then listened carefully to detect the differences in ‘fizz’ as the…

This week in Dance, Middle School took inspiration from various pieces of Cave Art to create sequences and stills. To begin with, they used travel, height, shape, speed and movements to represent painting, hunting, being hunted…
