Nursery are thoroughly enjoying our helicopter stories. The children are thinking of their own imaginative stories, having them scribed by an adult, then bringing them to life by acting them out on our ‘stage’! Well done Nursery, you’ve all shown so much confidence, it’s lovely to see!
Year Four have been observing the processes of melting and evaporation this afternoon, as they watched solids (ice cubes) change to a liquid, and then heated it to change it to water vapour. We then linked our observations to the processes of the water cycle.
Today, the children were put into teams and given a number of words based on our text Goldilocks and the Three Bears and an amount of money. Their aim was to collect as much high-level vocabulary as possible. They wrote the word down on their group collection sheet and once they had finished with it,…
Today, we were lucky enough to have Griff King from Stoke City come in to talk to the children about match day at the Bet365 Stadium. He explained all about the experience and gave a letter to each child offering them discounted tickets. These letters will be sent out this week.

Seven members of our school football team represented Hillside in a Futsal competition at Fenton Manor. The boys battled through some tough games and gave it their all. A special mention goes to Cole who put in a Man of the Match performance. Well done!
