This morning, we attended a tag rugby festival at Bradley Pitches training centre.  We, along with several other schools, completed various training drills before playing a short game.  Well done to everyone who took part.

As part of our geography topic, we visited Tealby to compare it with our local area.  In the run up to our visit, we have been learning to use Ordnance Survey maps and we put this use around Tealby in our pairs.  Take a look at the photos from our visit.

As part of our topic on Olympics, we have created pictogram tiles, in the style of those used at the Athens games in 2004, using clay.  The children also used ancient Greek pottery as inspiration.  

The Y5 and Y3 children were lucky enough to work with a play director in conjunction with Hull Truck Theatre and the Royal Shakespeare Company.  We workshopped sections from Much Ado About Nothing - one of Shakespeare's plays - and came up with scenesin groups.  We teamed up with Y3 and showcased…
