Last week, Year 2 attended sports day at the @hubs.
The weather was fantastic so we had to make sure we had lots of sun cream on and drank lots of water.
There were lots of activities that the children were able to try such as football, dodgeball, netball, rounders and a blow up assault cause. The children showed themselves to be very athletic and skilled at many of the sports. They particularly shined in football where we has some World Cup worthy hat tricks along with some fantastic celebrations!
In addition, the children were very supportive of each other and showed great sportsmanship by congratulating all of the winners and taking losing gracefully. Well done Year 2! 
As part of this term’s topic ‘Flow’, Year 3 visited Beacon Park, Lichfield. We had a great day with Ruth the Ranger observing, sampling and measuring Lemonsley Brook. After meeting Ruth, we split into three groups and started our activities. Those of us with wellies on were allowed into the brook to help Miss Greene & Miss Groom measure the width and depth of the brook. We then had to measure the temperature of the water and the last part was the most fun. To measure how fast the brook was flowing we played the traditional game of Pooh Sticks with dog biscuits because they float and are also kind to the environment. Those without wellies timed them to see how fast the dog biscuits took to travel down river. We also measured how clean the water was, as this would tell us how well the plant would grow. The more circles we could see at the bottom of the container, the cleaner the water was.
Next, we went pond dipping with Ruth to take samples of the different creatures living in the brook. We managed to catch and observe a few creatures. This proves how clean the water is in Lemonsley Brook. We dragged a net in the water and then emptied our nets into a tray, we then used an identification chart to help us identify the things we had caught. It was great fun and really interested to see what lives below the surface of the water.
Miss Suwanpatra and her group looked at the trees along the river bank and identified them from our key. There were eight different trees alongside the river. Why not ask Year 3 to see if they can name them?
Friday 29th June 2018 Reception took part in their own sports morning where they took part in a number of races and challenges for their house team. Thank you for all the parents who came to support the children. 
Thank you to all the parents who were able to attend Year 3’s class assembly. We have been learning all about Hinduism in R.E. and shared some of the stories that we have learnt in Hinduism.
We told the Hindu creation story, the story of Holika and Prahlard and shared what we know about mandirs and Hindu Gods and Goddesses.
In Year 1, we have been exploring different materials and their properties. The superheroes needed our help and Year 1 came to the rescue! Superman needed a waterproof cape and Batman needed a new batcave. Year 1 have been scientist predicting, investigating and recording their findings.
This morning Reception had a fantastic time in the MUGA with Mr Burton. They did a running race, egg and spoon race, throwing and catching and an obstacle course. They had so much fun and all received a gold medal for taking part. Thank you to parents and carers for being a great audience, it really meant a lot to the children. And a big thank you to Mr Burton for organising!
Well done Reception!
