With a basket from Jarius but soon we conceded 3 baskets which made the end score 3:1 to St Helens. Next we had a break to watch Westfield B play after we played against Ramsey A. We started of great with a basket from Ahmad. We played strong for the rest of the game without conceding which made the end score 1:0 to Westfield.

After that we had another break soon after that we played Holywell A with Jarius scoring early. They came with a surprise which the they scored 2 baskets but in the last minute Ahmad scored to make a draw witch ended up 2:2.

Eco Report (Trisha Tyagi)

Good Morning

This week at Eco Club we have been learning about Pollution 

Pollution is the introduction of harmful contaminates entering the environment, This is caused by more industries and increase in global population. Pollution can also cause health effects like heart and lung disease or trouble breathing.

One of the most simple ways to reduce pollution is to grow plants so Mrs Carder gave us some Spider Plants for our hard work this year. We started with planting them outside and hopefully they will grow into large plants if they are taken care of properly.

Thank you for listening!

Coding to make computer games! (Mr Wilkinson Computing Teacher)

Posted Wednesday 27th March 2024

In Year 6 we have been using variables in our computer coding to create computer games. Variables can be used to control many different things in a game, such as a score, a time limit, a number of lives, a difficulty level or even the player's name. A variable is a bit like a box that contains a specific piece of information, and that information can change for a specific reason, such as a goal being scored or a unit of time passing. 
Why not try playing Don't Catch The Crab and see how you do! One variable adds up your score as you play and another variable counts down the time left. Just be sure not to catch the crab! You can explore all the coding for the game, and edit and change it yourself here on the scratch website.

World Book Day 2024 (Mr Fryer-Bovair Deputy Head)

Wow, what a day! This video is the result of our whole-school James and The Giant Peach project. Can you spot your child's picture?

Every child in school had a line from James and The Giant Peach to illustrate, and the result was a gallery almost 60 metres long that snaked its way around the school hall. We were bowled over by the effor the children put into their illustrations and by the enormous variety of creative ways in which they chose to illustrate their line. 

Parents and carers came in to see the results at the end of the day, and our brilliant WSA organised a cake sale to raise funds to continue to develop and enrich opportunities for all the children. 

A few photos from the day: 

Eco Report 4th March 2024 (Trisha Tyagi)

Good Morning,

This week at Eco Club club we have been learning about the big plastic count 

It was first held in 2022 by Greenpeace and Everyday Plastic. They took a national survey to work out what plastics people were throwing away. Almost a quarter of a million people took part and it was discovered that almost two billion pieces of plastic packaging are being thrown away every week! The results of the survey were given to the government.

HOWEVER, billions of pieces of plastic are still being produced and thrown away everyday. This year's Big Plastic Count wants to see if we are throwing away more or less than we were in 2022. 

We would like you to monitor the amount of plastic you throw away everyday from Monday the 11th to Sunday the 17th. Today we will be sending home the survey and could you please, please, please,please fill it in as best as you can and bring it back on Monday the 18th so we can collate the results and upload it onto the Big Plastic Count website.

Thank you very much for listening.

West Stow (Miss Smith 5NS)

On Tuesday, Year Five braved the cold and wet for their trip to West Stow. The morning consisted of an artefact handling activity and an exploration of the museum. There were many interesting items on show, particularly a replica of the helmet discovered in the Sutton Hoo burial. In the afternoon, we visited several reconstructions of Anglo-Saxon homes, which have been built based on evidence found by archaeologists. The children immersed themselves in the role of historians and discussed their findings with the adults, asking excellent questions to the resident expert, Stephanie. Despite the drizzly weather, the children thoroughly enjoyed investigating Anglo-Saxon life. A fantastic day!
