Eagles class have enjoyed all the Christmas fun activities this afternoon: Helter Skelter, Snow Globe, Total Wipeout, Hook-a-Dook, Boat Swings and the Carousel. Their faces say it all - what a wonderful last Christmas for Y6 at Hayfield Lane. We are so glad they enjoyed it.
Year 6 have taken part in a crime scene event where they had to take on different roles and using key skills before solving the crime of who stole the chocolate.
Year 6 had great fun dressing up for Halloween.
We had the pleasure of welcoming Martin Impey into school to share his fabulous book, 'Blitz - One Family's War'. It was brilliant to hear about his incredibly thorough writing and research process. He reinforced that as a writer and illustrator he makes mistakes throughout the publishing journey and that is why resiliency is a vital attribute to have in life. He blew us away when he drew two of the characters for us in about three minutes whilst taking questions. What a wonderful and informative session.
Years 5 and 6 were delighted to welcome author Bethany Walker into school to share her latest book, 'Medusa Gorgon's Bad Hair Day'. It was great fun hearing about what inspired Bethany to write and how she has taken a well-known character from the past and created something exciting for primary readers. The children and staff loved it.
