Over the past two days, Year 4 have been busy creating their bridges and have enjoyed using the saws and hand drills. They worked well in their teams and didn’t give up even when things weren’t going as planned.

A huge well done to our amazing Year 6 children who have completed their SATs tests this week. The children have approached them with a mature and positive attitude and we are all incredibly proud of them. The children are enjoying a well deserved afternoon of rounders in the glorious sunshine and are all excited […]

We have been thinking about all of the fun things we can do at the seaside – building sandcastles, jumping over waves, rock pooling and having picnics! Yesterday we all had a go at making our own sandwiches and eating them as a picnic with our friends – we did a very good job and […]

This week nursery have been practicing adding two numbers together. The children have used the Numicon to make number sentences and have been using the words ‘add’ and ‘equals’ to say their sentence! Fantastic work Nursery – Well done!

The children in Reception have had a lovely time exploring in the woods. We built dens, hunted for the Gruffalo and found lots of spring Bluebells as you can see here.

This afternoon the Year 4 children have learnt how to use saws carefully to cut pieces of wood. Miss Nelson and Mrs Ward have been very impressed. The children are looking forward to using these skills when building bridges.

Our after school Forest Schooling Club had a fantastic session yesterday. We have been minibeast hunting, and found many different ones under stones, in rotting wood and in the leaf litter. We identified the types of minibeasts found and then made them a shelter out of natural resources.  

Hillside Science Ambassadors have been busy again working on the KS1 playground. They have been demonstrating how we can generate static electricity using a balloon, and showing how it can then pick up tissue paper people. I wonder how many little people they managed to pick up?  

Year 4 children have enjoyed taking part in a tri golf competition, competing against schools across the city. They took part in a range of challenges focused on different aspects of golf. We look forward to finding out the results later this week.

Congratulations to the children who have been recognised for their excellent work last week and shared it in celebration assembly this morning. Keep it up!
