Life Bus

Life education bus

 

The life bus comes to Springhill every year to teach us life education. In this life bus, we learn all kinds of mind-blowing facts which are stuffed in our brain. We learn lots about our body, decisions and much more! The most fun part is when we go on adventures with Harold (the giraffe). The adventure this year was to a world where everything wasn't unique! It was a bit scary!
Despite this, we still had lots of fun!

Swimming

SWIMMING

Every Thursday, one class from year 4 goes to Shirley swimming pool to learn swimming. Our assistant teacher and  Mrs Moody comes with us to the swimming pool.  The people who already know how to swim go to the deep end and learn the butterfly stroke. The people who do not know how to swim get taught by either Phil  or Hayley. We go to the pool by minibus and come back in it. Each time we go, we alternate so girls get changed first the first week and the boys get changed in the other. At the end of the ten weeks we have a party in the pool and we can do anything we like. We get plastic swords to play with and we can dive into the deep pool.

Roman Day

I’m Alfie and I am here to tell you about Roman day that happened recently in Year 4. In Roman day we learnt about Romans and we made a presentation on a shield, we performed a play or we could make a poster on Roman facts. The funny part was that we had our faces painted red and blue. The red face paint was for blood effects for a Roman soldier who had come from battle.

 

 

The blue paint was for the Celts because when the Celts went to battle, they put blue paint in a way that intimidated their enemy.

 

 

 

Also, the children made mosaics as an activity. They either made a soldier, a roman helmet, a horse or a roman idea of their own.

My review of the Railway Children

The Railway Children

HELLO (again)! My name is Ashika and  this is my 1st blog. I’m going to tell you about a play called the railway children. It was performed by M and M productions and is based on a very famous book. It was a marvellous play with funny bits such as when Peter stole the lantern from Mr Perkins. Unfortunately, a group of people thought the father was a spy even though he was not. This was because a Russian man, who was jealous of him, forged papers about him interviewing a polish spy captain. This story was very sad.

 

 

Music at Springhill

A Year 4 pupil at the drums

I am Alfie from Springhill Catholic Primary School and I’m here to tell you about music in our school. First of all, we have a variety of instruments such as the flute, oboe, bassoon and the ukulele. I play the keyboard and it is really fun. You will get to play songs like “Jingle Bells” and perform them at the gates. For example, I got to play “Oh when the Saints” at the gates and it was magnificent. I am sure that if you try any of our instruments, you will really enjoy it. For the keyboard lessons and the violin lessons, the teacher is Miss McWilliams.
