The smiles say it all!

A huge well done to the boys who completed all of the cross country stages. Their determination and teamwork earned them a well deserved trophy.

We A massive well done to all of the children (and staff!!) for making such an effort during poetry week. We had a great time during our celebration assembly last Friday, sharing all of the amazing learning that had been going on across the school. There were some lovely caterpillars made by reception, some fab innovated poetry by Year 1 and Falcons did an amazing job of reciting and acting out some poetry with a real comical twist! The older children also shared poems that they had been reading about the rainforest and Year 6 shared their very own published poetry. Well done Iron Acton!

Health Week Highlights!

It has been a fantastic Health Week this year and we have really enjoyed the opportunity to sample a wide-range of exciting activities, including: Cycling Proficiency, Frisbee, Tennis and Tae Kwon Do! We have also taken part in daily activities such as ‘Wake and Shake’ to get us going in the mornings and the Daily Mile, where we have all pushed ourselves to go further the following day. We’ve also learnt more about sugar, eating a healthy diet and the importance of hydration. Thank you to all the instructors, teachers and helpers who have helped to organise and run these events – as you can see, we have thoroughly enjoyed taking part and certainly feel a lot fitter from doing so.

A delicious start to Health Week!

To kick off Health Week this year, we had a tasty look at world foods with thanks to the lovely chefs at The Travelling Kitchen. Together we helped to make a scrumptious Caribbean-style black bean and sweet potato curry as well as Greek filo parcels filled with feta, dill and spinach. The children loved getting stuck in and cooked up a storm in the kitchen so much so there were tears – only through cutting onions mind. At the end of the day we all shared our creations with parents and the rest of the school, which proved to be very popular! IMG_0133

Super Science Week

We were very lucky to have a visit from the Explorer Dome earlier this year to celebrate Science Week! Each class really enjoyed taking part in the fantastic science shows that were based on the topics they have been learning about in class last term. Kestrels enjoyed learning about the environment, Falcons discovered more about forces and Eagles loved learning more about habitats and adaptation. There was plenty of excitement and lively discussions, as well as hands-on experiments and demonstrations during the shows that caused quite a stir as you can see from the pictures below!

Year 1 Football Festival

Last weekend, Year 1 children (and Louis!) represented the school at the Bradley Stoke Year 1 Football Festival. We had to play four matches against lots of different schools and our team were fantastic! The children played with real skill and enthusiasm and showed great sportsmanship towards the other teams. Mrs Page was extremely proud of our performance and we won an enormous trophy to put on display in the school hall. We all got presented with a medal and a goody bag at the end of the day and we got to have our photo taken with our trophy…

Minibeast projects

Wow!! Kestrel class have certainly outdone themselves this term… We were so impressed by the incredible efforts every single child went to, to complete their home learning task this term. A massive thank you to all of the parents, grandparents and other supporting adults for helping the children get really stuck into this project – we really hope it has been as much fun to complete as it has been for us to discuss the work with the children! The results of all of the children’s time, imagination and hard work are plain to see in the pictures below:

Post-SATs fun in the sun!

As a treat for working so hard and acing their SATs, the Year 6’s went to the park in Iron Acton to enjoy the summer sunshine and have a break from work and play rehearsals! The sun was shining and there was not a cloud in sight so we all enjoyed a lovely picnic and ran off any post-SAT stresses! Thank you to Mrs Wilding for the ice lollies, Mrs Pilgrim for joining us and Mrs Webster and Izzy for coming down to provide the class with additional refreshments!

Nativity!!

Kestrel Class put on an amazing show of ‘Shine Star Shine!’ at Christmas, to tell the Nativity story. We rehearsed for weeks and weeks, learning our lines and practicing the songs and all of the hard work paid off… We performed at our local village church and shared some of our delicious homemade mince pies with the audience – yum yum! Didn’t we look great in our costumes?
