Year 4 Halton Gill Residential 14-15 May 2012 on PhotoPeach
Fifteen Year 4 children have just returned from a fantastic residential trip at Halton Gill, out on the Yorkshire Dales. We spent two days with children from Fountains Primary School near Ripon, North Yorkshire.
Mr Watson and Mrs Lawler Davis helped the children participate in ice breaker games, drama sessions, an early morning moorland hike and making grafitti T-shirts.
The highlight of the trip was when we were joined by TV celebrity chef Madha Jaffrey, who filmed an episode of her new cookery show “Curry Nation” with us. It was really exciting to be working with the crew, and Maddha talked with lots of the children while watching them making their own curries. Look out for our TV debut on UK Food and BBC 2 at the end of the year.
Everybody that went had a fantatsic time, lots of new friendships have been made, and after many children spent the night on their own away from home for the first time, some of us are now feeling a little bit more independent. Roll on Buckden in Year 5!
We hope you enjoy looking at our photographs.
At science club this week, children made helicopter spinners using paper and paper clips. We timed how long it took them to reach the floor. They were then given a challenge to see if they could make them stay in the air longer.
Here are some of their ideas:
“If we drop it from higher up it will stay in the air longer”
“We could blow it”
“We could use card”
We also experimented by adding more paper clips and trying different paper.
Which of these ideas do you think worked best?
What would you try?
This photo says it all I think. It represents teamwork, partnership, hard work and achievement. Well done to everyone again who made it to the finals day of The Miriam Lord Apprentice.
We have been talking a lot in class, around school and in staff meetings about learning at Miriam Lord. We would like to know what you think about yourselves as learners. We are very interested to know what helps you and how you like to learn.
It is very important that you make your voice heard so that we can make things even better in school, to share our successes and listen to everyone’s opinions.
Please take part in our questionnaire and if there is anything that you don’t really understand and want to ask about it please come and see me or your teacher.
This is for pupils at Miriam Lord but if you are a visitor and have some thoughts and ideas about learning please let us know by leaving a comment.
Year Five recently celebrated the end of their topic on China by opening a Chinese restaurant in school. The food was excellent, as was the service from the children and everyone who visited spoke highly of the experience. I thoroughly enjoyed my noodles and vegetables and would certainly visit again if the chance arose. Well done to everyone involved…
After months, even years, of hard work, the big week is finally here. Next week, our Year Six children will be taking their SATs tests.
From speaking to our children, they are confident in their abilities, and I have no doubt that they will do themselves proud. Everyone has worked incredibly hard to prepare children for the tests, especially our fantastic Year Six team who I know feel extremely proud of the group.
Good luck to you all, you can only do your best. I hope you are all resting, sleeping and eating well this weekend. See you Monday morning.
Year 4 are currently learning about the Tudors. Last week 4HL were lucky enough to be joined by Henry VIII and the X-Factor judges for a special episode dedicated to Henry and his six wives. See below for a peek at the rehearsal…
Do you know what happened to the rest of Henry’s wives?
By my count, we have now reached 75 schools with our Olympic Torch. I’m not sure we will manage every school in Bradford, but you never know, 100 schools would be nice…
