The children are having an awesome time at their camp! They’ve just finished burgers and hotdogs and are now singing round the campfire! The children have been super and even survived the rain!
Year 5 camp 2024
Class 8 – Green Top Camp
Today, the children also took part in XP outdoors activities, which we all loved! We crafted some dream catchers using branches and string, read stories in the camping tents and even toasted marshmallows or biscuits! We even finished with singing a camp song around the fire! Today was a brilliant day and we have had none stop fun…see you all tomorrow! Mrs Shaw
Class 8 – giving back to the community!
Class 8 have had a fabulous afternoon of giving back to the community. The children yesterday designed their own keyring and today we handed them out to adults, just to make them smile! They had quotes on, such as ‘be happy’ and ‘you are amazing’ and the children were so happy to be doing something to make others happy. On the way back from our walk, we stopped at Peel Hill and completed some litter picking! What a great afternoon!
Afternoon fun with Class 6 in our XP Outdoors area
Unfortunately, Mr Kershaw was unexpectedly called away this afternoon so we were unable to take part in the exciting activity he had planned for us. Despite this we still enjoyed our afternoon playing on the trim-trail and the astro-turf, taking part in running games and listening to a story in the camp tents…plus Mr Kershaw has promised us another outdoor session next week to make up for today!
Thanks Mr Kershaw. We’re already looking forward to it.
Class 7s first two days!
Well, Class 7 have had two busy days back as they start their adventure into Year 2. We have been designing key rings and then making them!
Today, we have had fun in Mr Kershaw’s camp. We started reading in the tents, then roasted marshmallows by the fire and finished off by making some dream catchers!
We then started making some cards for our visit out tomorrow!
First week back in Reception
We have had a fabulous first few days in Crew Wallace.
We have been exploring our environment and learning our norms and routines. I have been so impressed with all of the children’s attitude to learning and to our classroom.
Well done everyone!

Y3/4 Expedition field work
On Monday 2nd September, we will be taking year 3 and 4 children on an evacuation trip to our local Methodist Church as part of our new expedition. There is no expectation for children to dress up, however if they wish to they may. We will all be making a gas mask box, an identity label and a luggage label to take too.
The aim of the field work is for the children to experience something similar to what the children in WW2 did during their evacuation. We will leave school at 1pm with a return in time for 3pm pick up. We are hoping this work will engage the children into their new learning.
Here are some ideas for inspiration but please don’t feel you have to buy an outfit – see what you have in the trusty wardrobe!

Year 5 Acts of Service!
Year 5 spent this morning out and about in the community, litter picking and delivering ‘Thank you’ notes to people who help us! Some of us were extremely lucky to be invited into the Fire Station for a look around! This ties in perfectly with our Transition guiding question “How can our Crew be strengthened by acts of service to others?“…bring on our Campout to end a perfect day!
KS1 Dress Up Day
To hook our children into our new expedition we will be having a Medieval dress up day Friday 6th September. We invite children to dress up for a special day of medieval fun! If your child does not have an outfit please do not worry! They can wear their own party clothes and we will ensure they make some accessories to compliment their outfit (crowns fit for a king/queen/prince/princess etc).
We can’t wait to see you all dressed up!
Example costumes – King, Queen, Prince, Princess, Knight, Dragon
