Class 3 Football and Netball Tournament

On Friday, some children from class 3 entered a Football and a Netball Tournament that took place at our school!

There were three other schools and Blakedown did really well: The Football team did not loose a match or even let in a single goal, so they came top of the table. The Netball team won 2 games and drew 1 game. They also came top of their table, so won overall.

Well done to all that took part!

Go Blakedown!!!!

Class 2's Trip to Bishop's Wood

Class 2 went to Bishops Wood on Friday. We were learning all about houses. We saw some wonderful willow structures and we spent some time playing in them. We sat in the teepee and looked up. You can see a photograph of what we saw. We visited the Saxon house and made some shelters for some little dolls. In the afternoon we made some houses from sticks in the woods and then some brick houses using mini bricks. We had a great day and learned a lot. Hope you enjoy looking at our photographs.

Class 1 visit to Bishop's Wood

On Friday class 1 and class 2 visited Bishop's Wood as part of their 'Houses and Homes' topic. Class 1 have been studying the story of The Three Little Pig's all we so that we were able to get fully involved in the day's activities which included building houses made of straw and sticks and bricks. The houses made of bricks were so strong that the Big Bad Wolf couldn't blow them down.

Mould!

Class 4 have been growing mould! It's a bit gross, but we've been doing it for a reason. We were testing to see which area of the class room provided the best place for bread to stay fresh. Our results were slightly unexpected, so we're designing a new test to backup or disprove our previous results.

Faberge Eggs

As part of our Another Culture Topic we researched, designed and made our own Faberge Eggs.

Minibeast Mania!!

In class 3 we have been doing a lot of work about Minibeasts and Habitats this half term. This has been taught mostly by Miss. Ward. It is her last day today, and to celebrate all our hard work, we were able to come to school dressed as a minibeast! A lot of work was put into our costumes (thank you parents!) and we all looked really great. We were able to show class 1 our costumes in more detail and tell them about the things which we had learned.
Thank you Miss. Ward for all your great Minibeast lessons!

Skipping!

We recently had a visit from the 'Blue and White Skippers' who are part of a professional skipping team. They came to Blakedown to run a skipping workshop with Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. It was a lot of fun and we bought some excellent new skipping ropes from them. Skipping is a great way to exercise and have fun at the same time!

Football/Netball Tournament

On Saturday, Class 4 entered a team into the football and netball tournament at Haybridge. Both teams did really well, getting to the semifinals respectively. The teams that knocked us out, went on to win the tournament too!
Both teams put in 100% effort and made all the staff and parents who were watching very proud.
Well done teams!
Here are some pictures of the football (netball coming soon!):
