Week Ending 14 JUNE 2019

During JUNE we are focusing on the core value of Honesty

Swimming

A reminder that Class 3 swimming starts on Monday 17th June and there are 5 sessions. As always, we are most grateful to receive a ‘voluntary contribution’ from parents towards the cost of the transport (currently £75 a visit) in cash or by cheque please (for £10 for the five sessions,) with cheques made payable to Stadhampton Primary – Acer Trust. Thank you.

Recorders 

Weekly recorder lessons for all children in Classes 2 and 3 also start again on Monday 17th June - please can children bring in their recorders and recorder books every Monday for the rest of this term. Thank you.

Science
This term Class 3 have been involved in The Big Science Event. This is run by Science Oxford and gives children the chance to formulate their own science investigation and produce a poster based on their experiments and the results. The children worked in groups and there were some excellent ideas for investigation. The class then chose 1 group to present their idea to a judge from Science Oxford. The winning group’s investigation observed the effects of different solutions on bubble gum and slime. The children presented their ideas confidently and had even thought of some practical uses for their experiment, such as council use for removing bubble gum from pavements. Well done to our enthusiastic scientists!

A message from Class 2

On Wednesday 12^th June Class Two went to Sulgrave Manor. They did all sorts of activities like dressing up in Tudor costumes, dancing, helping in the kitchen, looking at herbs and writing with a quill. They had an amazing time seeing the house, even if it was only half! The dance was a horse-like dance. The children were hard workers in the kitchen. They visited a Forge too. In the bed chamber we looked at the wonderful canopy bed with its fancy curtains. We were surprised that they went to the toilet in a pot!!! We also looked at different mattresses, like feathers, straw and wool or nothing.
