Sunny days!

What a lovely morning on the field .... rolling around in the grass, the "happy crocodile" game, daisy chains,  hairdressers, tag, mums and dads, just sitting around chatting.... 

Easter Assembly

On this gloriously sunny morning, Year 5 lead a wonderful Easter assembly at St Michael’s Church.  The story of Easter along with various other facts and information relating to Easter were shared.  The singing was uplifting and Rev Chris Davey acknowledged this too as he said the Easter blessing at the end.

Every single child in the school made a daffodil which the church will use to decorate the porch ready for the Easter service.  The whole school walked up through the Market Hill to the Church each carrying their daffodils.

Hockey Tournament

On Friday, Sir Robert Hitcham’s took part in a Hockey competition at Harleston magpies hockey club.

We entered 2 teams into the competition with 1 team coming 5th on the compete side of the competition and the other team coming 5th out of 25 teams in the develop side of the competition. 

All the children worked very hard every Monday and Friday at the afterschool to get ready for the competition and it really did show on the day. The children showed fantastic team work and attitude.

Friends Wonderlicious Event

 Friends Wonderlicious Event - starting straight after the Easter Break

South Africa assembly

Cameron Cann visited us today to tell us about his time volunteering as a PE coach in the Capricorn Primary School in South Africa.  He shared with the children what life was like on a daily basis showing them a video of a typical street with no grass; shops and business made out of disused freight containers and lots of rubbish and squalor.  Their home lives were very tough due to the poverty and hardship so they found school a place of solace and enjoyment.  They had no phones, iPads, X-boxes and not much money for clothes yet Cameron expressed how the children were so happy with their friends and games they played.  He shared videos of a sports carnival and the children singing and dancing and enjoying music - of which they did a lot!  Cameron spoke about the inspirational people that he had met and how they had overcome adversity and hardship and were persevering with their goals.  He also interestingly told us about the food he had enjoyed particularly ostrich and lots of mango.   In our prayers,  we thought about how lucky we are here in Framlingham and prayed for the children at the Capricorn Primary School.

MB Share Session

Last week MB had their share session. All the children and adults had fun making Easter wreaths to hang up in their homes. It was a great way to start our Easter celebrations!

This week in RJKH

This week, RJKH have become experts at some tricky Maths concepts. Learning from the jumping frog, we've been subtracting by small and big steps to 'friendly numbers'. We enjoyed Maths in the sunshine and have got more confident at this over the last few days.

We also enjoyed a lovely R.E. lesson based around Luke 6 v 31 earlier - the verse says "Treat other people as you want them to treat you." What a great thought as we start the weekend and build up to Easter.

 

 

Art Club

 

Year 6 art club have been creating fabulous abstract paintings. The artists first planned their designs and then transferred them on to canvas. After that, they then painted the designs using acrylic paint. Finally, some of the artists made their own beads out of fimo clay and added them to their designs for a 3D effect.

Science Exhibition Report

A few weeks ago, we hosted an incredible science fair where every child was encouraged to get involved and showcase experiments and demonstrate their scientific knowledge. All the children, from nursery to Year 6 were asked to research, design, investigate and create a science project at home that would reflect their interests and enthusiasm for science and we were inundated with the most amazing, creative and hugely inspiring entries.

Each class visited the fair throughout the day where they were able to view and interact with all the amazing projects on display and learn about all the incredible science that had been going on during the week. To mention just a few, we had a very impressive and fully interactive water filtration system, a full scientific investigation into how the size of a meteor affects the size of a crater, a solar oven, 3D models of adapted leaf cells, bouncy eggs, electrical circuits powered by vegetables, thermochromic slime and many explosive volcanoes!

The science fair was a real celebration of science, all the children (and the teachers too) thoroughly enjoyed being able to explore all the wonderful projects on display and it was an incredibly inspiring event for all the pupils.

Today the winners from the Science Selfie and Science Fair Competition were announced in assembly. Thank you to all the pupils and families who got involved with the science week competitions and for making another SRH Science Fair such a huge success!

Spring is in the air...

Spring is in the air... Congratulations to the CRMBr family for today's share session. It was a fantastic turn out and the children loved working with their parents.

We have been learning about the symbols of Easter and we managed to create a fabulous array of spring flowers. The daffodils will be taken to church for our service next Friday. Thank you again to our families for their continued support.
