Year 6 undertook their Statutory

Assessment Tests this month. It

was an extremely demanding week

and every single one of our chil-

dren coped extremely well. Mr

Abrahall was so proud of their

hard work and effort that he ar-

ranged for the ice cream van to

come into school and bought eve-

ryone in Year 6 an ice cream of

their choice. It looks like

Mr Abrahall had a long wait to

enjoy his double scoop, two fla-

voured ice cream with a flake!

Letters to the Prime Minister

Year 4 have recently been looking

at writing a balanced argument in

Literacy. To put these skills to

good use we decided as a year

group to write a balanced argu-

ment about the upcoming EU ref-

erendum. We were so impressed

with the children’s work we decid-

Anglo Saxon/Roman Day

Wellgate Farm

Wellgate Community Farm visited

bringing a selection of interesting

farm animals with them for the.

Reception classes to enjoy. The

children were able to pet the ani-

mals and enjoyed hearing the nois-

es and the bad smells they made!

The animals were organised in

pens and the farmers explained

interesting facts such as their

eating habits. The cow loved the

grass on our school field! The

weather was so lovely that the

Reception children took a picnic

out onto the school field which

they ate whilst looking at the ani-

mals grazing.

On Thursday 26th May Year 4 took

part in an Anglo Saxon and Ro-

man Day. The children all looked

fantastic in their costumes and

well done again to our winners-

Iris and Louis. During the day the

children took part in a range of

activities such as Roman dancing,

an army boot camp, archaeology

tasks and writing raps about the

fall of the Roman Empire. It was

lovely to see the children celebrate

their fantastic History knowledge

in a fun and exciting way.

Inflatable Fun Day

Stubbers

We were delighted to hear about

the birth of our second sponsored

Guide Dog. Fudge, who is a cross

between a Labrador and a Golden

Retriever, was born on 16th March

2016 to mum, Holly, and dad,

Just before half term, Year 6 went

on their residential trip to Stub-

bers. The weather was good and

they enjoyed a great week carrying

out various activities. Highlights

of the week included assembling a

raft and rescuing teachers, burrow-

ing down obstacle filled tunnels,

scaring Mr Young with their terri-

fying 4x4 driving and having a

dessert after every dinner!
