On Thursday, Year 5 went on their trip to the Potteries Museum. They explored the Staffordshire Hoard and made Anglo-Saxon Pots. They also went to have a look at the spitfire in preparation for studying WW2!

Year 4 are having a very busy afternoon as animators. They are working in groups to create a stop motion animation using an APP on the iPads. I’m sure the finished animations will be very impressive!!

Thank you so much to all of the parents, grandparents and other family members that came to share our EYFS and KS1 teddy bear’s picnic. The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves- we hope that you did too!

Well done to the children who took part in the Sound Foundations Firework Concert at the Mitchell Arts Centre last night. You were all amazing! The choir sang fantastically, Hillside Rock were fab, Jack was a superb presenter and the comedy sketch was hilarious! Thank you for representing a Hillside so well.  

Our Science Ambassadors have been making and testing paper aeroplanes on the KS1 yard today at lunchtime. The most successful was made by Jack in Reception whose plane travelled nine steps!

Year 4 are enjoying their virtual reality workshop addressing different bullying issues.

Year 6 are currently learning about bullying through use of Virtual Reality headsets this morning. We will be discussing what bullying looks like and how we can prevent it.

A great first session with Go Wild Forest School yesterday afternoon. The children have played games, 1,2,3 where are you, hide & seek, bat & moth and palm tag. We’ve made pom-poms, made some clay woodland animals, did some charcoal drawings, had adventures & used an African drum!
