On Number Day we came into school wearing a number and did LOADS of fun things linked to Maths! Throughout the school, we did activities including solving a theft by solving logic puzzles; graffiti maths where we wrote down everything we knew about maths on large sheets of paper; investigating spirals and how to make different patterns by following an algorithm; playing maths games and puzzles with each other and we did some active maths where we danced around the room solving addition and subtraction problems as well as lots of other activities. We had such good fun and realised that there’s more to maths than just numbers!!
Year 3 children took part in Divali workshop. We found out about how Hindus celebrate Divali and some of us dressed up. We found out about the importance of the goddess Lakshmi for Hindus.
Father Mervyn joined us to celebrate our Harvest Festival at Biddick Hall Junior school. Thanks you to all our parents and carers who donated food items. They were distributed to two local foodbanks. They were very grateful that you shared your harvest gifts with them.
This week in Science Council we all met together and created chemical reactions between bicarbonate of soda and vinegar to create some spooky potions. We also had a special visitor, Mrs Hayward, who came in to meet us and help.
On Tuesday 22nd October, Year 3 were visited by ‘The Stone Age Guy’ and we found out more about life in this period. We handled some artefacts and discussed their uses and we had a try at drawing our own animals using charcoal. We all found the session very interesting.
On 26th September, we celebrated European Day of Languages. We talked about the importance of learning other languages and how we make others feel welcome, even if they speak languages other than English. We then held a poster competition linked to theme of ‘Languages for peace’. Our entries were amazing and it was really hard to select the winners.
Here are the winners from each of our classes . . .

School Council 2024-2025
Meet our School Council members for the academic year 2024-2025.
Science Council have been using dog biscuits to explore vertebrates and recreate skeletons of various animals. It was good fun thinking about bone size and positioning using such a creative resource. Year 5 and 6 even studied x rays and tried some trickier vertebrates like frogs and lizards.
