SJB Primary School

Thank you to Polly, Jack, Luca and Gracie for getting the day off to a great start.

Year 2 loved their first DT lesson on paper structures. All our work in this unit is based around the question “how strong is a piece of paper?” We learned what pillars were used for and investigated which shape of pillar could hold the most weight.

Year 4 had a lovely time packing their ‘shoeboxes of hope’ for some of Europe’ poorest children. Thank you so much to all those who contributed to this appeal, which is very dear to our hearts.

Yet another busy week in Year 5!

We have been working on the properties of 3D shapes in Maths and then building them using nets. It was tricky but the children worked extremely hard!

In English we have been looking at the different poetry tools used in the Highwayman. The children spotted onomatopoeia, metaphors and repetition. They then changed the stanzas in the poem to create their own version of the Highwayman.

Wee had lots of fun acting out the poem Danegeld by Rudyard Kipling in History. We definitely have some very scary vikings!

On Saturday several Year 6 children represented SJB at the Ulverstem event at UVHS. They shared their science knowledge of light. Lots and lots of people visited our table and had fun making shadow puppets.

We had many compliments about our lovely pupils. Thank you for giving up your time and doing such a good job.

To our Year 6 librarians. They read stories and run book groups for the younger children.

We had a brilliant but wet time at Brockhole today! We used four figure grid references to navigate the park. The children did a fabulous job and successfully followed the trail using the grid references!
