During African Day, each class took part in composing, performing and recording an African drum pattern. The children used iPads which allowed them to play authentic sounding African drums by tapping pads to compose and record their pattern.

The children throughout the school enjoyed African Day last week. The children came to school dressed in brightly coloured clothes and took part in a range of fun activities.
The morning began with an assembly led by Mrs Innerdale. She told us about her son who is working out in a school in Botswana in Africa at the moment. We are trying to help them fund raise some money to buy football kits, guitars and sports equipment for the children in his school.
The children took part in numerous fundraising activities throughout the day;
As well as some language activities in class with Mrs Innerdale.
The children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 all had great fun during sports day, despite the very hot weather. The children all worked very hard, tried their best and above all had lots of fun! Well done to everyone!
Year Six and Reception had a great time together during the Holy Island week. It was great for Year Six to show them around the Island and spend time together on the beach.
Reception were so excited about the Royal Wedding that we thought we would continue to celebrate it with a Royal Street Party. We made hats to wear and decorated them with red, white and blue. Some of us even painted the Union Jack on them too. We made our own sandwiches and used our maths skills to cut them in half then had some fruit cocktails for dessert. We had lots of fun celebrating!
