Reception  have been learning about the Little Red Hen story. We decided that we wanted to make our own bread. Here we are mixing up the dough. We are sorry that we are so messy but we have had such good fun.  

Hillside’s Science Ambassadors have been out this lunchtime on the KS1 playground, where they have been demonstrating their density tower. It generated lots of questions and ‘wonders’ from the children as they watched different objects floating at different points within the tower. They can’t wait for the next visit from our Science Ambassadors!  

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

Well done to the children who have been recognised for displaying one of our school values and were awarded with a Headteacher’s certificate in celebration assembly.

The book bench has had its first base coat of white paint today. Over the next week, Mrs Green, Miss Pinnington, Mr Frost and the children are hoping to complete the painting of the back and the sides of the bench. We will be using lots of the children’s handprints to cover the back to […]

To end a lovely week celebrating Chinese New Year, Reception performed the Dragon Dance. They were amazing and learned the technique of moving together quickly. They also did a lovely ribbon dance with lots of exciting movements.

Yesterday the children had a very exciting delivery from Oliver and his Gran, it was a bag of vegetables with a recipe to make some soup. Throughout the morning we chopped the vegetables, boiled the soup and smelt it cooking! After lunch we all had a taste of the soup – delicious!!  

Thank you to Jude’s Grandad who came in yesterday to read The Magic Treacle Jug by Enid Blyton, the children loved listening to the story.  

This afternoon the Year 4 children practised speaking in French. They were practising asking how much something is and the numbers up to 30. It was very tricky but the children enjoyed it.
