The children in Year 5 are going to be making their own volcanoes this term in their art lessons. This ties in with their geography lessons of the power of the planet. We are going to need lots of newspapers to make papier mache to complete this and would be very grateful if any people could send in newspapers to the school. Once they are finished we are going to get them to erupt!!!.
Many thanks.

Thank you so much to the families who sent a gift for the Cliffdale residents who don’t have any family. We walked down there today and gifted them to five residents. The residents were so grateful. I think we all felt emotional when we heard how they put all the residents gifts under the tree on Christmas Eve and then hand them out on Christmas Day most residents have lots of gifts but some don’t have any, this year however that will be different thanks to you!
Today, all the children took place in our end-of-term quiz. Teams of 4 were selected to represent each class and answer questions based on what they have been learning this term. Everyone really enjoyed themselves and it also gave us a chance to further embed knowledge and our retrieval practice.
I would just like to say another huge well done to the children for making the nativity such a success this year! They all worked incredibly hard to learn their lines and songs. A special thank you to everyone at home who helped with learning their parts and sorting costumes.
We had an amazing Christmas party this afternoon! They danced their socks off… as did I!
Finally, I would like to thank you for all the Christmas wishes, cards and gifts. It is extremely kind.
I wish you all a merry Christmas and happy new year!
