Squirrels Heath Primary School

 This week we have been busy! On Monday we took part in odd socks day to show that we are all different and that is ok. We also completed our sponsored skip. The children tried very hard.

 This week we have been exploring the Shang Dynasty even more.  In our lessons, we have been finding out about Oracle bones and their use.  We worked in teams to carry out and present our research. The excitment carried on with Science too and learning about the Earth and how it rotates around the sun.  We made our own models too.  Well done everyone! 

Last Friday we invited parents and carers into school to join in with our learning and explore our environment. The afternoon was very well attended, and many children enjoyed welcoming a relative to come and spend some time playing with them and showing their classrooms. This week, the children have been learning about Remembrance and spent some time saying thank you to the soldiers for helping to keep us all safe. They were very sensible and reflective during the silence at 11am on Tuesday.

 This week in year 5 & 6, we marked Remembrance day with an assembly with Father Hingley and a song we learned to remember those that have given their lives in the aim for peace and unity. We had the honour of listening to the Last Post live, as one of our pupil's from Birch class played the military signal song on his cornet. 

 This week in year 6, we have been getting sponsorship ready as we practised our skipping for our activity next week. We aim to skip our way to success as we work hard to raise money for our amazing school. There's still time to sponser us! Every little helps!
