Squirrels Heath Junior School

Well done to our children who took part in bike ability training this week. The instructors were so impressed with their attitudes and skills shown in the session.  Our children did so well that they even went out cycling on the roads too. Great job to everyone involved.

 Year 5 have been looking at land art this week! Next week we will make our own land art 😀 We analysed some work created by artists and then had a go at sketching some of their work.  Have a look over the weekend at what natural resources you could use to make land art at home!

 Well done to our team from Years 5 and 6 who competed in the Rugby tournament this week.  You represented the school beautifully and did an amazing job in your matches.  Go Squirrels!!! 

 This year marks 40 years of raising money for Red Nose Day. To mark the occasion, we dressed up in outfits from the last 4 decades! 

Year 5 were developing their batting and bowling skills this week. They were working on their accuracy by bowling to a specific target. They were also working on directing a bowled ball with their bats.

 We have been making repeating patterns in the style of William Morris in DT - this week we printed onto fabric, and next week we will sew our hems and embellishments!

 We had a lot of fun dressing up today for Comic Relief 40! Thank you to all the children for bringing in donations and taking part in today's activities!

Year 3 and 4 had a wonderful assembly this morning with a visit from ‘Performance in Education’. We learned lots about how to keep ourselves safe around roads. 🚧

  Science week Year 3! This week we have been celebrating science across 5 days of fun activities both big and small. A special thanks to all those parents who came in to help us with our open lessons. And a massive well done to the children and parents who submitted some AMAZING science projects.  This week, across the year group, we: played a science quiz; watched some adorable chicks hatch; did a science Kahoot, made and raced some balloon cars and read about some famous scientist and their achievements.  We hope you all enjoyed yourselves. 

  Year 5 had a fantastic Science week! Our main activity was creating paper airplanes.  We had to think carefully about how we could adapt out plane to make it fly the furthest!  A HUGE thank you to all the grown ups who were able to come in and help us with the challenge.
