Year 6 - Primary Proms Trip

Book Quiz - Y3 & Y4

After school on Tuesday Miss Hartley led the popular Bannockburn Book Quiz at Manor Way. For this latest quiz the children in Y3 & Y4 were asked to read the books, Betsey Biggalow and Tom's Midnight Garden. Miss Hartley acted as the quiz master and the children worked collaboratively in small groups to answer a selection of questions about both books. It was great to see so many of the children participate in this educational yet fun event. The winning team will be announced soon.

Y5 Rowan Class - Titanic Homework

As part of the Year 5 topic, Titanic, one of the pupils from Rowan Class created a fantastic model of the famous unsinkable ship. She made the model at home as one of the suggested activities from the Y5 homework list. Using papier-mâché and Plaster of Paris, she carefully moulded the bow of the Titanic. I think it is fair to say that the result looks absolutely brilliant!

Nursery Celebrations - Acorn Class

 In Acorn class we having been learning about different festivals which take place at this time of year. This week we explored Diwali and Bonfire night.

Miss Dadds read the story of Rama and Sita and told us how the Festival of Light is celebrated.

We have decorated paper hands with henna and made our own diva lamps using clay.

Later in the week we built our own bonfire in the Forest School in preparation for Bonfire Night.  

We collected leaves and twigs and placed them in a pile. We rubbed our twigs together to start the bonfire and pretended to toast marshmallows.
