Nursery have been up to the woods today for their first forest school session! We explored the forest before listening to a story and drinking our milk in the storytelling area! The children all behaved beautifully and had great fun. Well done Nursery!
Representatives from the 🌻DougieMac🌻 have just left having picked up the money we have collected. They loved our yellow-themed dress down day and said a huge thank you for your kind donations. Thank you from Hillside too!
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!
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 this morning.
Thank you to Mrs Ridyard who came in to read today – we voted for ‘The Day the Crayons Quit!’ and absolutely loved listening to you read the funny story! We particularly loved hearing about poor peach crayon who didn’t have a wrapper and was hiding in the crayon box! Thank you for coming! 🖍…
Thank you Mrs Beckett for coming to read in Year 3. The children enjoyed listening to ‘The Three Little Pigs’. It wasn’t like the story they had heard before because it was a revolting rhyme written by Roald Dahl. The children in Year 3 would definitely recommend it.
We are all excited that we have Key Strings in school this morning. Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and 2 have already had lots of fun listening to various instruments and pieces of music. They have been joining in and learning about how sounds are made and changed. What a lovely morning 🎶.
Year 4 have been investigating ‘how sounds are made, through observing what happens with: drums and rice, tuning forks, cymbals, guitars, slinky’s, elastic bands and triangles. They have observed the vibrations, thought about how they travel and explored how they can stop. Miss McCann has been very impressed with the scientific knowledge, explanations and questions…
All of the amazing science work the children have created is now on display. We think it looks amazing! The adults in Year 3 have been blown away with their children’s understanding of parts of a flower and their functions.
This afternoon the children in Year 3 have been learning about the names and functions of the different parts of a flower. They then worked in groups to make their own flowers. We think they look fantastic and are looking forward to putting them on display.
