Celebration of Schools’ Music – Snape

Huge congratulations to some of our wonderful musicians for representing SRH in taking part in Celebration of schools’ Music last Friday at Snape.

I want to say a heartfelt thank you for a huge amount of dedication and commitment to this concert which resulted in a really high quality performance from The Firebirds Boys’ Choir and our String Quartet.

Mr Cantrill & I are so very proud of you all.

I hope that the following photos give you a small flavour of our day…

We learnt a new song called Falling Star in a workshop with the brilliant Aga Serugo Lugo who led a fabulous workshop with his team.

Such poise and confidence on stage…

Thank you to Mr Cantrill and Mrs Fell for preparing the choir and quartet so beautifully - making this a really memorable and special performance.

Egg investigation

Yesterday we did an activity in Nursery comparing hen eggs and duck eggs. We looked closely and touched the shells, talking about what was the same and what was different and thinking about the size and colour. The children then made a prediction of what might be inside the eggs. 
We then cracked open the eggs and looked at the yolk and the white. Two of the eggs had been cooked in boiling water so they were hard boiled and we talked about the changes from a runny liquid to solid and a clear white to a white white. We also felt the hard boiled eggs and the children were excited to see the yolk inside when I cut them in half. We used the language comparisons soft and hard, rough and smooth, hot and cold, liquid and solid and also used the language slippery, runny, yolk and white. 
At the end of the day we cooked the eggs in the microwave to make scrambled eggs and enjoyed tasting them!

British Science Week at BT's Adastral Park

Yesterday our Year 6 pupils experienced British Science Week at BT's Adastral Park.
Here are a few images from the afternoon, reports to follow from the Class Reporters.

Spring walk

Nursery managed to go on a Spring walk around school on 26th February, before the snow came. We had to look closely for any signs of Spring. We were very excited to spot lots of buds on the trees and even some flowers, finding crocuses, daffodills, narcissi, daisies and primroses. We are looking forward to another walk at the end of term to see if we can spot any changes.

Photography Club Year 3 and 4

The year 3 and 4 photography club has been really exciting this term.  Amongst other things, we have been looking at how to take close up photos, understanding how the cameras work and how we can change settings.  

This week we have been using the cameras to make animation films.  We used Lego to build our Legoman and then made him move.  Most of the children mastered this challenging activity and were able to upload their sequences after a careful and sometimes frustrating session setting up the Legoman in exactly the right spot!  The children all showed true determination and resilience and were able to produce a sequence of photographs ready for their animation productions next week.  

SC Share Session - Egyptian Pots

Class SC enjoyed an afternoon sharing their learning with their parents, recently. 

The children had designed some Ancient Egyptian pots during their art lesson and they used their designs to create a clay pot with their parents. 

Some of the designs were very ambitious and so they had to adapt them as they worked with the clay. 

They produced some superb pots that reflected the designs of artefacts from Ancient Egypt.

Street Detectives

This morning, class AB took a walk around Framlingham. The children had to hunt for old and new building and some of their features such as doors, chimneys and even door knockers. The children took the cameras so that they could take pictures of the things some of the things they saw. Here are some of the things they found. Have you seen these in Framlingham? Do you know where you might find them?

String Superstars

A huge well done to our wonderful string players who took part in Mrs Fell’s Concert on Wednesday. 

You all impressed us with your musicality and the  confidence that you had in playing so beautifully in front of an audience. A testament to your teacher, Mrs Fell!

We also had the treat of hearing our string quartet (trained by Mrs Fell), who are performing at Snape alongside our Boys’ Choir –The Firebirds. 

Rugby Tournament

Here are a few photos from yesterday's tournament.

Chess Champion

The final match in the individual chess tournament was played on Monday and was a credit to both players but Percy came out on top with Thomas runner up! Both will receive trophies.
