Year 5/6 Harry Potter Day

Year 5/6 have had an awesome day today!  They started the day selecting their house team from the sorting hat before attending Hogwarts for the day.  They attended a potions class, a transfiguration lesson, played Quidditch, made magic and battled their fears in a defence against the dark arts class!  I can’t wait to see the wonderful videos Mr Taylor and Miss Knowles are putting together……watch this space!

Marshmallow Challenge

This afternoon in Crew Ambler, we have had great fun seeing which team can build the tallest tower out of spaghetti, string, tape and a marshmallow. Everyone showed great team work and our worthy winners were; Damion, Macie, Ashton and Seb. Well done!

Running with Ray!

Y5/6 had the pleasure of meeting Ray today and learning about his inspirational story! Ray is almost 80 and has raised an incredible amount of money for a range of charities  through his love of running! In the past, Ray ran 75 marathons in 75 days and even ran 150 miles without stopping! Wow!

We are going to support Ray on his upcoming 80th birthday by taking part in his next challenge – for 80 schools to run 80 miles! We’re very excited to get involved in running a mile but might need to put a bit of training first!
