This afternoon we had fun competing a variety of races at our sports day. Luckily we managed to complete nearly all of them before rain halted proceedings!
Thank you for braving the wind to come and cheer your children on.

Dysart Park Family Fun Day
Sunday, the school’s PTFA enjoyed meeting with people in the community at the Dysart Park Family Fun Day. There was fierce competition in the ‘Shoot the Hoop’ challenge as well as the ‘Golf Challenge’, with people popping back to improve their score to win a meal for two at Prezzo. ‘Guess the marbles in the jar’ also proved popular as there was a £40 meal voucher for Katana restaurant to be won.
Thank you everyone for your support.
Past Pupil – Kate Hindley
How lucky are we! Recently, a past pupil now working in illustration, has kindly used her connections to acquire a selection of new picture books for the school. These all had personal messages and drawings on the inside cover from the illustrator Kate Hindley.
Design Technology – Class 3
Today the class made air powered vehicles using their DT skills.
Class 1 – Bird’s nest
Mrs Gentry kindly brought in a bird’s nest to share with the children. The children were amazed by it and decided to have a go at making their own using the hay we had in the classroom.
Class 4 Music- Sky Arts
Class 4 accessed the music materials created by Sky Arts. They investigated our instruments in school then created musical score cards playing their pieces based on a character from these.
Sky Arts – KS2
Last week, KS2 looked at the artist Nathan Wyburn, who uses different materials to create portraits rather than paint or drawing media. Known as 3D mark-making, they used wool to create an image from their own self portrait.
Sky Arts- Music Class 1
Class 1 took part in some of the music activities provided by Sky Art’s last week. They enjoyed listening and moving to a range of different music genres. as well as discussing how these made them feel.
We explored different ways of making sounds with our voice and body including clapping, tapping, and clicking. The children then went on to explore a range of musical instruments to explore to find a sound/instrument that was a unique as themselves. The children then had a go at using the instruments to make their own theme tune. As you can see the children clearly had a lot of fun.
Butterflies
Class 1 have loved having caterpillars in the classroom. We have seen them get fatter like the Hungry Caterpillar and spin cocoons. We even got to see one of the butterflies emerging from the cocoon. It has been fantastic to experience the children’s excitement as they checked on them every day and observed the changes. Yesterday we said goodbye as we set them free.
Class 4 Assembly
Class 4 enjoyed performing three separate sketches about Victorian life this morning. They sang songs, played the recorders and delivered facts to the audience.
