SJB Primary School

Year 4 had great fun on Friday 10th November, making and packing boxes full of Christmas gifts for underprivileged people in Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, Bosnia and Georgia. Thank you so much to all parents, carers and friends of the school who generously contributed to this annual appeal. We are sure that the recipients will be so pleased with the gifts they receive and feel the thoughtfulness and kindness within each item.

Year 4 learnt all about how to make paper from first principles and used their newly-newly-aquired technological knowledge to make commemorative poppies for this year’s season of remembrance.

Congratulations to all Year 4 children (and parents/carers for helping too) for making such a super collection of models for our Anglo-Saxon village. It all looks very snug, doesn’t it? (Apparently they liked small and cosy dwellings rather than great stone halls.)

Year 4 really enjoyed professional potter, Mr Hill’s visit today. We made some super Anglo-Saxon masks like the one found at Sutton Hoo.

This half term Year 2 are focusing our learning on the Great Fire of London. Last half- term we learned about how the fire spread in History and made Lego houses to show how close the houses and streets were to each other. We have been writing in the past tense to describe the fire in English, begun emulating the fire through dance in PE and have started making a collage to show how London burned. Look at our fabulous work so far…

We had a fantastic afternoon listening to poetry performances and seeing the amazing creative writing of our children.

Thank you again to Mr Richardson’s family.
