Great start to our work on Ancient Egypt in Hawks Class

Year 3 (Hawks) are currently studying Ancient Egypt. We have studied Egyptian sunsets and learnt how to blend colours together effectively in order to create a backdrop. Next, we cut out a variety of Egyptian silhouettes to make the sunset effect.

Year 4 Leavers Assembly

Our Year 4 children worked really hard over the last half term, working with Miss Granelli and Miss Dancer, to produce an amazing Leavers Assembly which they shared with school and parents.  A big thank you goes to the Friends of Houghton Conquest Lower School for funding the Annual Leavers Yearbook which was presented to each of the children.  Thanks also goes to Mrs Padian for giving up her time to come and present the Padian Award for Community Spirit which this year was awarded to Harry Exworth.

Owls visit to Swiss Gardens

Owls class went on their school trip last week. All of the children thoroughly enjoyed themselves exploring the beautiful gardens. The class participated in many different activities, ranging from creating their own bean hotel, identifying plants around the garden, texture bingo and exploring the sculpture trial. Owls class also got to take a ride on a vintage Wellingborough bus around Shuttleworth park, with an open top roof! All of the children had such a lovely day.

Fun had by all at Sports Day

What a fantastic morning we all had for our Annual Sports Day when we eventually held it last week.  The children all enjoyed taking part in the team activities and there were some amazing performances during the mixed competitive races.  It was lovely to see the children being determined but also showing their values and sportsmanship towards each other throughout the event. Thank you to everyone that helped and the Friends for providing ice pops for all the children after the event.

Well done to everyone for taking part and congratulations to the Green Team on winning the Sports Day Cup.

Owls Class Assembly

Owls performed wonderfully on Thursday in their class assembly all about their topic ‘Into the secret garden.’ They all had a brilliant time singing the story of ‘Superworm’ and sharing their riddles with the audience.  I am incredibly proud of how fantastically confident all of the children were in Owls class.

Well done!
