Energy Busters
12th November, 2009
Year Six enjoyed their second week of Energy Busters. Last week we found out about sustainable sources of energy, and this week the children carried out a survey of our school site, looking out for places where we could make a few changes. You might have seen them checking out your room before playtime.
With Mr Medland's help, we'll be thinking hard about what our school can do to make a difference - you can look forward to our special Energy Busters assembly on the 3rd of December.
Art Afternoon
8th November, 2009
Lisa from the Clay Barn came into our school to teach Mr Fisher's class about clay work, including glazing and firing the clay in a kiln. We played some fun running games in teams whilst learning facts about clay work. The children had the chance to use various tools and techniques and glaze clay tiles. When these tiles have been in the kiln they will be returned to our school for the children to keep. A big thank you to Lisa for coming to our school!
Wells Primary Football Champions
6th November, 2009
Our school football team played Blenheim Park Primary School on Friday at Wells. Our team won 6-0, with five fantastic goals scored by Lloyd and one by Connor. Team members Kayleigh, Mark, Matthew, Scott, Abbie, George, Lloyd and Connor all played an excellent game with lots of team spirit. Well done to all players; you played really well! A big thank you to Miss Vincent for organising the event, as well!
Working Together
23rd October, 2009
Well done Year Six, who were very helpful when working with the Year 1 and 2 children in the ICT room. They were exceptionally good at rephrasing the questions to make the School Travel Plan Survey easy for the younger children, and even had time to help them with some writing and some Maths games.

Crucial Crew
23rd October, 2009
Years Five and Six had a great time at Holt where they attended 'Crucial Crew'. Crucial Crew is a joint effort between all sorts of public services including the Coastguard, Fire Service, Police etc.
We found out about Internet Safety, including being very careful how much of your personal information you put online. The potential dangers of the farmyard were covered in a fun quiz with a serious meaning, and we also played a game to help us understand how our journey home from school can be made as safe as possible.
Trading Standards explained about their role and how we can make sure the toys and games we choose are safe to use. We practised what to do if we come across a person who has collapsed, and the Fire Service gave us a very realistic experience of what it would be like to be caught in a bedroom fire. We found out about the dangers of electricity substations, and why we should stay away from power lines, and an actual crashed car helped us to think about the effects of joyriding.
There was a serious message, but the whole afternoon was a lot of fun!

May I just remind everybody - that is Mums and Dads,

Well done, everybody!
