On Sunday 1^st July 6 girls from years 4, 3 and 2 played at Asfordby Amateurs Football Club in the under 9’s competition.

There were 4 other teams taking part, Gaddesby, Harby, Brownlow and Swallowdale.

The team won five games and drew one, conceding only one goal in the whole tournament.

The girls played fantastically on what was an extremely hot day, showing great courage and team spirit.

The finals went to penalties, with the result of 2 penalties out of five to each team, and then onto sudden death penalties, which resulted in the Asfordby team winning a further 2 penalties to the one scored by Brownlow.

Well done all!

All about this week;  a Robin’s account by Hallie and Scarlett.

This week has been fun filled, enjoyable and at times difficult.

On Monday morning we had sports day, it was enjoyable for everyone that took part and it was nice to see everyone having fun.

We have been doing tests this week, which have been tricky but everyone worked hard, didn’t strop and we should all be very proud of what we have achieved this week.

On Wednesday we got to spend the morning with Steve Skidmore our reading patron, we learnt about how to plan and construct an interesting and creative story about superheroes. He also gave us a little insight into his imagination and how he comes up with his ideas.

In the afternoon we conducted our science experiment. We made homemade lava lamps, we were looking at the density of water and oil and how when a fizzy tablet is put in the water and oil react.

On Thursday we showed our experiment to the rest of the school – The Great Science Share. Everyone liked it and were impressed with our experiment.

We liked the Year 6 experiment where they were trying to investigate which can contained beans and which cans contained other things, all by shaking, rolling and feeling the weight of the cans.

Today we have finished our tests and this afternoon we have been predicting and measuring the capacity of different objects from around the school.

We have enjoyed this week very much, we hope you have a lovely weekend with your lovely but noisy children – good luck.

Yesterday Robins and Chaffinches enjoyed a much deserved trip out to Yorkshire Wildlife Park!

We absolutely loved exploring all the different animals and their habitats.

We saw everything from Lions to Polar Bears! It was such a fantastic and informative day out!

Big thankyou to all the volunteers and staff that helped make it such a fantastic day!

I honestly could have stayed there for years!!

   

What a brilliant end to a fabulous half term!

So proud of you all Robins! Keep it up for the last half term before summer!

Enjoy the week off!

This week we have been creating a Scientific reading corner based on our science topic of light and dark.

Thankyou to Mrs Oram for helping us start this off!

Pictures taken by our lovely camera people Anna and Owen.

We are going to be adding to this display as the topic goes along.

We will keep you updated.

 

Now time for our fascinating fractions. Today we were learning how to share equal parts of one whole.

We used: Playdough 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We used Angel cake: 

 

And we used Victoria sponge: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

”We made sure that we measured it with a ruler and cut it into equal parts.” – Hallie

” It was a fun and also tasty way to learn fractions.”

We look forward to seeing the creative fraction sentences that we will come up with over the weekend…we may need your help!?

Wow! What a fantastic first week back, and a super sporty one for us!

We had cricket on Tuesday which we all thought was fantastic!

Here is a great action shot!!

We then have been hard at work practicing our dance for the dance competition today!

I am so so proud of Year 3 for their hard work and perseverance at this dance, it certainly paid off today!

 

It was the best that we have ever performed this dance and I was so impressed at the mature attitude of the class. I know that the whole class enjoyed it and had the best time!

We got comments about how polite we were and how well behaved which is excellent!

In between all this we have also been working super hard!

AWESOME week Robins! Proud of you all! Have a good and well deserved weekend!

What a week we had last week!

It was Shakespeare week and we spent some time looking at The Tempest.

We looked at piece of the text that was describing a storm. To start with we found the language a little confusing but the more we unpicked and explored the text the more we began to understand.

We painted some pictures of storms, worked collaboratively to produce a small piece of drama and wrote some phrases of our own from pictures of storms we had.

 

Here is our working wall with what we have so far.

This is a copy of the text we were working with, is there anything you can spot that could help us unpick the text further?

We very much enjoyed learning about The Tempest and we have realised that Shakespeare isn’t that scary at all! In fact it can be lots of fun! What do you think?

We had a great first week back after a lovely half term.

We started to look at Roman Mosaics to turn our  reading area – cave into a lovely Mosaic wall.

We also looked at fractions in Maths, where we found out how awesome we were at finding equivalent fractions and adding together! This week is more adding and subtracting fractions!

Some of us were also part of the Work it Weekly club on Friday after school . This is a sports club that is a bit of a secret because we don’t know what sport it is going to be until the time!

Last week was kickboxing, the group of year 3 and 4 that took part said it was brilliant! They learnt lots of new skills and look forward to what is to come in the following weeks!!

Stay warm this week its is going to be a cold one!!!

Robins

Well it’s the end to another busy but fantastic week!!

Can you believe that it is nearly February?!

This week we have had parents evenings, and it was so lovely to see and talk to all your families and tell them how proud I am of all of the Robins!!

I took some children to Brooksby for a Multi – sport event!

We had so much fun and we were all very enthusiastic! Mrs Yates and I also joined in! (although I paid the price by falling over quite spectacularly)!

The children put all their effort into the afternoon and their manners were impeccable! A great afternoon had by all! Well done! 

  

We have also been working hard on our dance for the Dance off at Demonfort Hall, we are dancing to Can’t stop the feeling by Justin Timberlake! Have a look for yourselves see if you can follow along!!

Have a great weekend!

This week has been a very busy but also very fun and exciting week!!

We have been learning about the Romans and we have particularly enjoyed learning about how Roman roads were made. So we decided to make our own!

With one little difference – ours were going to edible!!

We planned how we were going to make them in our English lessons and then with a lot of thanks to Mrs Yates we got making on Wednesday afternoon!

We started with different layers –

 

     

 

Until eventually we ended up with these beautiful pieces!! 

What do you think of them?  We think they were fantastic!!

Welcome back Robins and Happy New Year!! What a fantastic week it has been!

This half term we are learning about the Romans – This afternoon we have been writing blogs in pairs. Our Blogs are about What the Romans did for us?

Here are our 3 favourite ones:

”This week we have be learning about The Romans, our favourite part so far has been learning about how they built houses and created money which they used to buy and sell things when doing trade with other countries.We are excited to learn more about how they became the Romans.” – Owen and Harry

”The Romans gave us writing, it is good that the Romans invented writing because they use it in lots of schools and it is important. The Romans taught everyone how to read and write, everyone was being taught to read and write, creating some geniuses! – We can’t wait to learn more about the Romans!!!” – Scarlett and Hallie.

 

” In year 3 we have been learning about Roman walls. Hadrian and Antonine built two seperate walls. Hadrians wall was forgotten about when Antonine built his, but Hadrians wall proved more popular when Antonine was no longer in power. Hadrian’s wall stopped the Scottish troops from taking over their part of the UK from the romans. We are looking forward to finding out more!!” – George and Elliot.

 

What do you know about the Romans?

Can you surprise us with some facts?
