SJB Primary School

Today we have found out that animals that eat plants are herbivores. Animals that eat meat are carnivores and animals that eat both are omnivores! We designed a meal on paper plates for a carnivore, omnivore and herbivore. 🍃🌺🍗🦔🐇🐕‍🦺

A little peek of some Year 2 writing this week describing the journey in the book Lost and Found. Once Year 2 have finished we will post some more!

In Year 5 we have had a brilliant time learning about the Ancient Greeks and reading Who let the gods out by Max Evans.
To celebrate the end of the topic we had an Ancient Greek themed day. We all dressed up in robes, we had a feast trying Greek food ( we were not too keen on olives as you’ll see by the photos!), painted vases and competed in the Olympics for our city-states.
In the Olympics we took part in the traditional sports of foot races, javelin, discus and long jump. Delphi was our winning city-state!

In Nursery, we have been looking at how materials change so today we melted marshmallows and then added washing up liquid. The result? A sticky mess but lots of fun! It got so sticky, it even glued the spoon to Mathilda’s hand. 😀

The teams are back and working hard. We have a meeting with our Royal Navy mentors tomorrow.

Year 2 have been looking at ‘Our Local Area’ in History over the last two weeks. We have been studying Sir John Barrow, The Sir John Barrow monument and today we looked at the history of Sir John Barrow School. The children were very keen to know if any of their parents had come to SJB (or Lightburn School as it was called in the past). Our next lesson is on Stan Laurel who was born on the same street as SJB School.

The teams are getting to grips with the workload.

Today the children are applying for jobs on our campaign team.

Now we are making circuits using Circuit Scribe. It’s harder than it looks but Year 6 don’t give up easily!

Success!
