SJB Primary School

We’ve had a very busy week in year 5. In English we have been writing a balanced argument based on our story book ‘The Midnight Fox’. The children have worked very hard finding points for both sides of the argument and writing formal paragraphs.

In Science we have looked at the entomologist Maria Sibylla Merian. She studied the life cycle of insects in the late 1600s. We found her story fascinating as her job was very dangerous back then as she could have been accused of being a witch!

In History we have carried on with our Mayan topic. This week we compared the Mayan civilisation to the Anglo Saxons in our books. On craft Friday we made Mayan masks, Mayan ojos de dios and Anglo Saxon brooches.

We visited the mill and learned about the hard work and long hours that young children had to do. There were lots of hands on activities.

Our first visit of the day was to Manchester Central Mosque. The Imam talked to us about the Mosque and Islam and then we had a tour of the building.

Brilliant running tonight SJB.

3 wins and some fantastic all round running and results!

Well done and thank you to everyone who joined the clean up today. Our local streets are definitely looking a bit smarter after all the hard work.

Year 1 tomorrow.

Well done to our Year 3 boys who all earned medals last Sunday.

We love rugby at SJB and it’s great to see a group playing outside of school too.

Congratulations to Noah who ran 5km in sub 20 minutes yesterday.

That is an outstanding time for anybody let alone someone in primary school.

You should be proud of yourself Noah.

The SJB community thoroughly enjoyed being part of this local event again this year. Thank you to our team of pupils past and present, families and staff for joining us on a memorable journey through the jam packed streets of Ulverston! Huge thanks to Mrs O’Connor and Mrs Barker for their hard work constructing our ‘bowler hat’ lantern to represent local legend Stan Laurel as our contribution to the ‘On the Screen’ theme.
