Year 5 & 6 writing project

Over the past few weeks Year 5 and 6 have been studying 'The Wolves in the Walls' by Neil Gaiman about a family who are chased from their home by wolves that live in the walls! They have produced some fantastic writing based on this story, including a retelling from the point of view of the wolves. They had the opportunity to share and enjoy their hard work.

STAR Project in Year 6

Year 6 have been visited by a group called the 'STAR Project' (Southampton Talking About Relationships). Through these fun sessions the children explore issues such as self-esteem, friendship and transition to secondary school. It is a great opportunity to share worries and concerns.

Year 1 investigate...

This week, year 1 have been investigating which material would be best to make some clothes for Barnaby Bear. He needed some clothes that would keep him nice and dry in the wet weather that we have been experiencing recently! We used paper towels to help us measure and record which materials were the most waterproof.

Guildhall Choir meeting

This year's Guildhall Christmas Choir have been busy rehearsing in preparation for next week's concert, joined by other school choirs across the city.

If any parents of choir members have queries about the evening performance, you are invited to a short briefing meeting at 3:30pm in Year 4 this Friday 30th November.

For those that have been involved before, there are no changes. Do hope you enjoy the performance!

City Mission

Years 5 and 6 enjoyed a fantastic R.E. day with members of the Southampton City Mission. Through games and team activities the children explored the themes of 'Belonging' and 'Rites of Passage'. In the afternoon they worked in groups to create some amazing collages showing the story of the baptism of Jesus.

Going Pyjamas for Children In Need!

Today we went 'Pyjamas' for BBC's Children In Need! We also held our own 'Scootathon' - each class scooting a number of laps round our playground - in pyjamas, of course. This was great fun! Thanks to all of you who supported the event with donations - we've raised over £170 so far - well done!

Year 6 survive on a desert island!

As part of Science Day, Year 6 were investigating how to survive if they were stranded on a desert island! With only dirty water to drink, they would not last long. So how could they make the water clean again? Using various equipment they explored ways of filtering, boiling and then condensing. Eventually they were able to collect clean water!
