Year 2 - Parts of the body

 

Year 2 have been learning about the human body during their Science lessons. The children got to compare a healthy and unhealthy x-ray and identified the parts of their bodies. They have looked at different skeletons and discussed the importance of keeping their bodies healthy.

Bannockburn Netball Team

Just before the Easter holiday a team of eight players from Years 5 & 6 participated in a local inter-school netball competition against some other primary schools in the local area. 

The children tried really hard and managed to reach the finals for the Netball Plate Trophy. After some very tense games the Bannockburn team managed to get to the finals and Ben scored a goal that meant we won the final 1-0. Bannockburn won the silver plate! 

Another player, Kenny, was awarded the Sportsperson trophy for the entire competition. 

Well done to all the players and to Miss Dadds in Nursery who acted as their coach.

Year 6 sunshine revision session

Year 6 are working extra-hard after the holiday because we have our SATs tests coming up next month. Today, we have been enjoying soaking up the sunshine while we practised some maths skills. We were making sure that we could multiply a number with one decimal place by an integer e.g. 4.8 x 97. Do you know how to do this calculation?

Try these to test your own skills:

3.4 x 76 =

8.3 x 59 =

6.8 x 37 =

Book Quiz - Summer Term 2018

The Book Quiz will be taking place straight after school across both sites, depending on the age of your child. 

Children will be encouraged to work in small teams to answer a selection of questions based around the two selected books. 

For children in Key Stage 1 (Year 1 & Year 2) your books are:

For children in Year 3 & Year 4 your chosen books are:

For children in Year 5 & Year 6 your two books are:

These books are available from most good bookshops, online at Amazon or to borrow from your local library. More information will follow shortly via a letter from Mr Williams.

Good luck and happy reading!
