This week, the Eco Warriors were invited to take part in planting trees to create a micro wood on Grange Park.

"I will come here with my mum and look at how they have grown" Lyra- Rose.

"I have an oak tree in my garden- it grows acorns" Lacey

This week, Chris Webb MP launched our School Council election campaign with a visit to to the school.

It began on Monday with a whole school assembly where Chris talked to the children about what it is like to be an MP and answered questions about his role. They also learnt about the British Value, democracy , why we vote and how to become a school councillor. The children also looked at what characteristics make a good school councillor and how they can encourage their class to vote for them. 

After assembly, Miss Moyes showed Chris around the school where he had a chance to meet the children in their classrooms and speak to them about the school and their experiences. Overall, it was a very successful visit and Chris said he was "very impressed" and that we should be "proud of our school".

Year 5 - Music in our Community

Date: 18th Mar 2024 @ 9:27am

This half-term, Year 5 have been working to answer the question 'How Does Music Teach Us About Our Community?'. We have discussed heroes in our community; from our parents and carers to people who volunteer to help the homeless - we agreed that they were all heroes in their own right.

In what was one of our favourite lessons we listened to and appraised the Star Wars theme composed by John Williams - and with our keen musical ears we suggested, researched and discovered that he had composed some of the scores for our favourite films including Home Alone and Indiana Jones!

Discussions have raised how much music can affect our emotions and attitudes and how much a piece of music can be used to help us think of a particular place, person or event within our community. Our challenge now is to think about a piece of music that could describe Boundary or even Grange Park!
