Jack and the Beanstalk

On Tuesday 10th December 2013, the whole school went to the Belgrade theatre in Coventry to see the 'Jack and the Beanstalk' Christmas panto.... Oh Yes we did!  Year 5 had wonderful seats in the stalls with a great view.  A wonderful day, even if we were a little dissappointed that Mr Wilson wasn't asked to go up on stage.

Villa Vitality

 Durrng our trip to Villa park, we continued our learning about how to lead a healthy lifestyle.  In our first session, with Clare, we looked at the effects of an unhealthy lifestyle have on our bodies. We then went into the Villa radio station to record our very own shows.  Keep an eye on this blog and maybe you will be able to hear them soon.

Our lunch was cooked by 5G, it was lovely. A healthy chicken and vegetable bake with a fruit salad dessert.

After lunch it was our turn in the kitchen and the youth gym.  We created Rainbow salad and Mediterranean couscous.  Ryan then talked to us about the importance of regular exercise.

We finished our day with a walk onto the pitch. A very exciting day, thanks to all at Villa Park. 

 On Wednesday 20th November 2013 we had our reutrn visit to Villa park as part of our Villa Vilatiy work.

Remembrance Day Service

At 11 O’clock today, 11^th November 2013, we joined Stechford Primary School in remembrance of our service men and women who have fought in all wars.  We said prayers of thanks and observed a moment silence for thoughtful reflection. Year 6 laid a wreath on the Cenotaph which contained prayers from our school.  

Judo

Today was our last Judo lesson at John Henry Newman.  We have had 5 lessons and really enjoyed the experience, a big thank you to Sensei and Mr Morgan for this great opportunity.  Take a look at some of our moves!

Mystery Mixture

Today we received a letter from the BSA...It contained our second mission and a mystery mixture.  We were asked to separate the mixture to retrieve the salt that had been collected from the Moon.

We discovered that it was a mixture of sand, salt and pepper. We had a great afternoon using the properties of each substance to mix and filter the solution.  Now the waiting begins as we wait for our salt water to evaporate to leave us with the Moon salt.  Keep an eye out for photo updates.
