• Year 5 Assembly

  Wed 24 Jan 2024 Zara and Adam

  Year 5 put on an amazing performance to showcase all that they have found out about The Early Islamic civilisation. They performed in the round to all the children in school and their parents - it was a fabulous turnout!

  Zara - It was really hard to fit everything in only a few days, especially as we were forgetting our lines. But in the end we managed to do it! I feel that we were very confident!

  Adam - We only had one week to rehearse and it was really hard. Some of us were shy to say their words, but we stood out of our comfort zone. We had to try really hard. In the end we did it! Adam

• Young Voices

  Mon 08 Jan 2024 Fatimah Y5

  What a start to 2024! Our first day back at school was also the Young Voices Concert! After an early lunch, we put on our young voices T shirts and got onto the minibus. Ms Towers and Mrs Hirst made the journey enjoyable by talking to us all of the way. It was a fun journey. 

  When we got there, Mrs Hirst led us to our seats on Block 115. The conductor came on stage and helped us to practise our songs. We knew most of them. It was so much fun dancing to the songs. 

  Soon it was teatime and we were so hungry after all of that singing!

  Later on, the parents started to arrive. The lights went off and the stadium went dark then funky lights in different colours lit up the whole arena!

  MC Grammar and a dance squad called Urban Strides performed on stage - amazing moves! A special moment was when a young drummer, Nandi Bushell (only 13 years old), performed and was brilliant. 

  Sparkling fireworks made it even more magnificent! We did lots of singing throughout the whole concert. We got back to school just after 10pm. What an eventful day! I will definitely go again next year!

• Raising money for Syria and Turkey

  Tue 18 Apr 2023

  Having seen the devastation following the earthquake in Syria and Turkey, some of our Year 5 children felt they had to do something about it. They began making and selling loom band bracelets and charms. They designed posters and worked out prices by themselves - so far they have raised over £30!
