Year Three are snuggled down and fast asleep in their beds! Here are some posing pics in their dorms earlier – lots of pink in the girls room and lots of lynx in the boys! 🛏😴👍🏻

Everyone has thoroughly enjoyed beating their drums before bed tonight! We’ve learned call and repeat tunes, played lots of rhythms and learned an African song. We’re now waiting for our hot chocolate before bed, playing hangman and finding our way using our torches! Pretty sure we’ll sleep tonight… 😴

This afternoon we have been designing head dresses, tribal flags and fire lighting! We are working brilliantly in our teams and particularly enjoyed scoffing toasted marshmallows! We have a drumming workshop later too and you’ll be glad to know we’ve all made our beds successfully 🛏  

Year Three have arrived safely in Shugborough! Slight change of plan and we’re now staying in the lovely, snuggly dorms, which I’m sure all of you parents will be pleased about! We’re currently finding out about our activities, plans for the day and food!

Congratulations to the pupils who were recognised for their excellent work last week. Keep it up!

Well done to the pupils who were awarded last week for displaying our school values.

The younger children were challenged to light a bulb using a battery pack and playdoh, whereas the older children were challenged to think about electrical conductors and insulators and how we can make and break circuits. They were also surprised to […]

Hillside’s Science ambassadors did an excellent job today, running an exciting activity, where the children were challenged to fit as many droplets of water as they could onto a 2p coin. They were very surprised at the results, it’s a lot more than you would ever imagine! Thanks to all of the science ambassadors for […]

In the Reception classroom today, the children have been designing and making their own tin foil boats. The challenge was to discover which design would hold the most cubes before sinking. The winning amount was well over 100!
