Eat Well

On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week, the whole school took part in Eat Well workshops with Lydia. Children learned about the nutrition in foods and how to make sensible choices with food.

KS2 children were shocked to learn about how much sugar is in foods we regularly eat and KS1 children enjoyed tasking new foods.

Back in Time!

On Wednesday, Class 1 and 2 had a visitor from a bygone age. Children arrived at school in some amazing Victorian costumes and took part in a Victorian workshop, during which they were taught by a visitor in role as a Victorian teacher.

A Whale of a Time!

Class 1 and 2 had a whale of a time when they visited the Blue Planet Aquarium in Chester earlier this week! As part of their geography learning on continents and oceans, the children got up close with a huge variety of sea life to experience first hand marine biodiversity on our planet.

Rudolf Relay

On Friday 13th December, the children put on their antlers and took part in the Rudolph relay to raise money for the Severn Hospice. Children, walked, ran, hopped, skipped and jumped their way around the playground as many times as they could in order to raise sponsorship from family and friends. We continue to collect in sponsorship money and will update you with the total raised in the new year.

St Lawrence Whole School Fieldtrip

On Thursday last week, the whole school went on a local fieldtrip, arranged by Mrs Mountcastle, our geography lead. We walked 4 miles around the locality, looking at farms, wildlife and examples of sustainability.

Children in Reception and Years 1 & 2 used a photograph map to find their way along the route, and the children from Years 3- 6 used OS maps.

Back at school, Reception made flatbread with some wild garlic we had collected, Class 2 carried on learning about native and local plants, Class 3 wrote about their adventure, and Class 4 made their own maps of the journey.

We were very proud of all the children, and look forward to the next fieldtrip.

World Book Day Door

The children in Class 2 did a wonderful job creating their own potions for the World Book Day door competition.

This design was linked to the well-loved book ‘George’s Marvellous Medicine’ and the children had some amazing ideas for medicine, including to be kind and to be a good Christian, as well as being young and a princess.

We also won the door competition, judged by Mr Battrick! Well done, Class 2!

Chinese Dragon Dance

This week we had a visit from a Chinese dancer who showed us how to do a traditional Chinese dragon dance!

It was lots of fun, we really liked the bright and colourful dragon head, and enjoyed taking turns to be the front of the dragon.

Ask us all about it, we’d love to tell you!
