The Year 6 netball team played their final league match of the season last week against St Peter's.

It was a confident performance with the team winning 9-1. For a change, Liza received the Most Valuable Player vote from our opponents for her work at Goal Attack.

With a few more matches in Division 1 still to be concluded, the team will need to wait to see if they finished in second or third place. League winners are likely to be Wheatfields, the only team we lost to in the division.

It was great to receive entries from across the school for the WOW badge design competition. The 'Walk the Senses' theme saw lots of wildlife and weather related entries as pupils thought about what their senses experienced on their walk to school.

There was much discussion amongst the Sports Ambassadors as to which three entries we would send off to the competition organisers but they finally settled on the following three:

Amara, Year 1, whose entry featured her pet dog, Willow, and the bike she sometimes rides to school.
Zara, Year 5, who drew a bee on a flower.
Katie, Year 5, who was inspired by the river, trees and flowers she passes on her journey to school.

Well done to everyone who took part. We will need to wait to find out if any of our final three designs are selected to be made into badges.

We have really enjoyed SCIENCE WEEK; all year groups from EYFS to Year 6 have worked with a fiction book that both tells a story and examines a science concept. The titles our pupils used were:

EYFS: One year with Kipper - considering seasonal change

Year 1: Handa's Surprise - to learn about the needs of living things, specifically diet.

Year 2: The Gruffalo - to identify and name a variety of common animals including fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals as represented by prominent characters such as the snake, owl and fox.

Year 3: Winter Sleep - to learn about different kinds of hibernation.

Year 4: Moth - to learn about adaptation

Year 5: Stone Girl Bone Girl - story of Mary Anning (fossils)

Year 6: Seeds of Change: Wangari's Gift to the World - considering the benefits of replanting on the environment.

Each class has created resources based on their book which they then used to re-tell their story to another year group; Year 6 and Year 1 have shared their stories with each other, Year 5 with Year 3, Year 4 with Year 2, Reception with Nursery.

In addition to this, the older children have decided what question they would like to know the answer to, based on their book. For example, in Year 4, based on the book Moth which explores adaptation, some children wanted to know about different species of moths, or what the similarities and differences between moths and butterflies were. Some wanted to explore other animals and how they have adapted to their environment such as the arctic and desert fox.

Younger year groups have carried out a related science activity to the theme of their book.

Thank you to Mrs Lodge for planning an exciting week, and to Ms Forest Bendien, a parent volunteer, who came in to do some further work with Year 6 to extract DNA from strawberries!
