What a great start to our final week before Easter. 

The children couldn't believe their eyes when they saw the dinosaur on the playground this morning!

Some in Year 4 were a little scared and didn't really want to stroke him, but he was very friendly.

We all had fun when a dinosaur came to Gillibrand today!

The children in year 4 have started their new science topic on solids, liquids and gases. 

As a class we spoke about different types of solids, liquids and gases and grouped them in a table. 

The children also got to try out slippery slime. All of the children thoroughly enjoyed this. They…

Today Year Two went out into the community to pick up litter.

All the children and their parents worked hard to tidy up the surrounding area.

Some of the dads did become just a little competitive with their litter picking but it was all in a good cause!

Thank you to all the parents who…

As part of our 'Civic Pride' work we went litter picking in our community.  Even though the weather took a turn for the worse part way through our litter picking, we did not let it beat us!  Here are some photographs of our hard work.

A special 'thank you' also goes to the parents who were able…

Today is Red Nose Day.  To help support this fundrising event the children have been buying red noses.  Today they came in their own clothes and gave a small donation.

This afternoon we looked at how the money that is raised is spent.  It made the children realise just how lucky they all are.…

Today in Year 3 we have been learning about forces in Science. We have been talking about ‘push’ and ‘pull’ forces. We went outside and freeze-framed different actions. Can you recognise the different push and pull actions?  

We had a lovely time at the last meeting of Gardening Club this week.

We had a party!

There were tasty sandwiches, crisps, cakes and chocolate eggs.

After that we played Charades.

Thank you to the children and Mrs Houghton for the beautiful gift of a rose.    

I shall plant it in my…

Rehearsals are going well, especially now we have the wireless microphones!

Tickets for the show are available from the school office.

The children are all looking forward to performing for you. 

On Monday Mr McNulty (a parent governor) came in to school to speak to the class about his job in the police force.  This linked in to our current topic on crime and punishment.

He spoke to the children about why he joined the police force and the different roles he has had.  He discussed how…

Don't forget the  'Eddie the Penguin Saves the World' performance is only a few weeks away! Tickets can be purchased from the school office. 

There were several postive comments at Parents Evening last night and I was really pleased to see so many parents - 86%. 

The children do love their parents to look at the work they are so proud of.
