Today, Year 1 enjoyed taking part in a variety of games and races. They were put into their house teams and were able to practise the skills needed for javelin, as well as competing against each other in an obstacle course, relay race and an egg and spoon race.
This term Year 4 have been using their French topic of Food and Healthy Eating to explore language used in a famous children's story by Eric Carle - The Very Hungry Caterpillar, which in French is actually titled La chenille qui fait des trous.
The children used the story to revise days of the week, practise some of the fruits they have been learning and look at more vocabulary linked to food and discuss the gender of nouns.
You can listen and read along to the story here:
Last week our Year 5 had a jam-packed week of fun learning projects, which included them learning a French pop song.

As part of the plans to create our school mural, the Manor Way Values Team met with Mrs Seaton recently to feedback from classes and debate which values should feature on the design and why they were the most important values to our school and wider local community. There were lots of different opinions amongst the group so we had to listen to each other and respect each other's opinions, even if we didn't agree.
High Street Values Team children also met with the High Street Junior Leadership team members to share their feedback on how everyone in the Bannockburn community shows our school values and to discuss how we might want this represented in the mural design.
Here are some photos and videos links from the Platinum Jubilee celebrations that took place at each site.
All classes, from Nursery right up to Year 6, took part in various activities both in class and at breaks and lunches, to mark the occasion: crown-making, a special assembly, maypole dancing, flag-making, quizzes, British Values mindfulness activities to name but a few! Lunchtime became an outdoor picnic experience with our talented cooks creating some delicious and healthy traditional sandwiches and snacks.
The children looked fantastic in their Red White and Blue colours and they performed their songs and dances like true superstars! Plus there were some very surprised faces when our special guest arrived to dance with them!
