French Day at Hillside has once again been a success! All children visited year 5’s French Market and used their best French to ask for lots of different items of foods. They then enjoyed some French baguette and went back to class to complete some further work on France. Well done to everyone for their […]

Year 5 got stuck straight in to hard science work in their new classroom with their ‘new’ teacher. Miss McCann was particularly impressed with how hard the children worked during the week and how much more mature they seemed. She is looking forward teaching them as real Year 5’s in September.

Years 4, 5 and 6 represented ‘Hanley Town’ at the City Finals.  All of the children performed to their highest ability and experienced a highly competitive finals competition.

To promote language learning at Hillside, the children will be taking part in a range of French activities. The Year 5 children have been busy preparing for their French market and they can’t wait for the other classes to visit.  

The new Year 6’s have settled in well to their class. They have been rollercoaster tycoons and created a themepark by using maths in real contexts and they have also written a recount from the perspective of one of the animals from last week’s visit by the Unconventional Menagerie.
