by Year Five teacher on July 5, 2010

Due to most of Year 6 being otherwise engaged, Year 5 will be swimming next Monday. The swimming instructors will be doing life saving sessions with the children. Could you please make sure that your child has the following with them next Monday:

  • Full swimming kit
  • Old pyjamas that they don’t mind getting wet
  • £2.00 to cover the cost of the coach

Thank you!

Miss Winton and Miss Blake

Extreme trampolining!

by Year Five teacher on December 2, 2009

Last Tuesday we went extreme trampolining as part of our ‘extreme factor’ topic. We had great fun and were all very brave including Miss Blake and Miss Winton!

We recorded our pulse rates over the day, before and after the trampolining to see how they would vary. We will be creating graphs in ICT to show and discuss these results. We also took lots of photos over the course of the day and will be using some of these fantastic action photos in our artwork.

Below are some of the photos of Miss Blake’s class trampolining – Miss Winton’s class will be up soon!

Most of the photos have been taken by Keeley who did a fantastic job of recording our day. Enjoy!
