Year 4 and 5 Football
Mr Byer has been running a very popular lunchtime club for Year 4. This year we have arranged some matches for them against other schools.
We decided to finish the term with a challenge match against some Year 5 players.
Each year group had 2 teams.
The B team game was won 2-0 by Year 5 and the A team game 3-0. Both matches were played in a good spirit and showed that there is plenty of talent coming through the school at the moment.

Owl Wise
On Wednesday afternoon our Year 6 children were invited to Thomas Mills High School to watch a display of owls.
The demonstration was by a charity called 'Owl Wise' who look after injured or badly treated owls. Most of their owls are returned to the wild. Demonstrations such as this are valuable fundraising events.
We got to see Eagle owls, Barn owl, Hawk owl and Longed eared owl.
If you would like information and bookings of your own contact Owl Wise at

The Story of Swan Lake
Year 6 are going to London on Monday to see Swan Lake at The Royal Opera House
Here is an outline of the story.
Act I
Outside the Palace grounds a birthday party is being thrown to celebrate Prince Siegfried’s coming of age. His tutor, Wolfgang, is fussing over the preparations as Siegfried’s best friend Benno and the court arrive. When Siegfried arrives he is greeted by the peasants, and responds with gifts of wine for the men and ribbons for the women, before standing back to enjoy the performance of three dancers (a pas de trios) who have been hired for the occasion.

The celebrations are interrupted by Siegfried’s mother, the Princess. Worried about her son she tells him that he has to settle down. At the official birthday ball the following evening, she expects him to choose a wife. Siegfried reluctantly agrees and escorts her out, but a pall has fallen on the evening. The tutor tries to lighten the mood by dancing with two young girls but, by now fairly drunk, he spins out of control and collapses to the floor. As darkness falls, Benno sees a flock of swans in the sky and, still trying to distract the Prince, suggests a hunt. They take crossbows from the palace guards and, accompanied by some cadets, set off in pursuit.

Act II
As Act II begins the cadets have overtaken Siegfried, and hurry through a lakeside glade. When the Prince arrives, the swans have settled on the water, and he is just about to shoot one of them when he is frozen by the sight of a swan transforming into a maiden. At first she is terrified of him, but when he promises not to harm her she tells him that she is the Swan Queen, Odette. She and her companions have been placed under a spell by an owl-like evil spirit called Von Rothbart.. By day they are swans, returning to human form only at night, beside this lake which, Odette says, was formed from the tears of her grieving mother. The spell can only be broken if a man who has never loved another woman swears to love her forever, and marries her.

The evil spirit appears, and Siegfried is about to shoot it when Odette stops him. If Von Rothbart is killed the spell will never be broken. The spirit disappears, and Odette’s companions suddenly fill the glade. Siegfried is only just in time to rescue them from Benno and the cadets, whom he dismisses.

Alone with the swan-maidens, Siegfried sets about winning Odette’s love and her trust. But as dawn arrives Rothbart beckons to her and, unwillingly, she is dragged back to the water, and the shape of a swan.

Act III
Act III opens on Siegfried’s official birthday celebration, as his mother orders him to dance with six princesses and choose one as a bride. He objects that he does not love any of them. The stalemate is broken by the arrival of Von Rothbart, in human form, with his daughter Odile, who is bewitched to resemble the Swan Queen. Before Siegfied can approach Odile, dancers from Spain, Hungary, Naples and Russia perform to honour the prince.

After the entertainment is over Siegfried dances with Odile. By cunningly echoing the movements of Odette she seduces the Prince, and although an apparition of the real Odette appears for a moment to warn him, it is quickly banished by Von Rothbart.

Dazzled, the Prince chooses Odile as his bride and swears to love her forever. In a flash Von Rothbart reveals a vision of the stricken Swan Queen, before disappearing with his daughter. Frantically, Siegfried hurries back to the lake.

Act IV
Act IV returns to the lakeside where Odette has reconciled herself to death, as the other swan-maidens try to comfort her. To break the spell, she has decided to drown herself in the lake. As a storm rises, Siegfried desperately searches for Odette, who is hidden by her companions. When he finally finds her he swears he loves only her, and she forgives him, but Von Rothbart appears and insists that Siegfried marry his daughter, after which Odette will become a swan forever.

Siegfried prefers to die alongside Odette. As the pair throw themselves into the storm-tossed lake, the spell is broken, Von Rothbart is destroyed and the souls of the lovers are finally reunited.
Like any good story Swan Lake has had many retellings. Anthony Dowell’s version of Swan Lake for the Royal Ballet sticks very closely to the scenario of the first ever Petipa-Ivanov production in St Petersburg in 1894. In Soviet Russia, the ballet often had a happy ending, in which Siegfried killed Von Rothbart and saved Odette. Some choreographers have added a prelude showing the enchantment of Odette, in order to reduce the amount of mime in the second act. Others have tried to remove the supernatural element altogether - Graham Murphy’s Swan Lake for The Australian Ballet is a tragic love-triangle between a Prince, his mentally unstable young wife and his older mistress (Baroness Rothbart).
Even the Petipa-Ivanov scenario is a long way from the Swan Lake story as originally imagined by Tchaikovsky. In the 1877 Moscow premiere, Odette is the daughter of a good fairy, who is being pursued by her wicked witch of a stepmother. Her maternal grandfather keeps her and her companions safe at the lake by night, but allows them to fly about as swans by day. Only the magical crown that she wears protects her. After Siegfried swears his love to Odette, and then betrays her at the ball, she refuses to forgive him, but in his blind passion he swears that they will never be parted and snatches the crown from her head. Odette and Siegfried are now at the mercy of the stepmother, and the waters of the lake engulf them both.
The Souls of Siegfried and Odette ascend together

Story Plans using ICT
In literacy (Year 5) we have been using an ICT program called '2 Connect' to help plan stories. It is very useful because you can move things around, add new ideas, make links, insert notes, colour codes and images.
You can then run through your story plan as a presentation.
We also used another piece of software to record our story presentation as a media file.
You can see some examples below of the children's work

CONFUSION OVER ‘MOTHER’S DAY LUNCH’
We are sorry that the lunch planned by Suffolk County Catering for this Thursday titled ‘Mother’s Day Lunch’ has understandably caused confusion! This lunch is just for the children. We are planning to run some ‘Bring your Parents to Lunch’ days later in the summer term.
SUFFOLK COUNTY CATERING
The kitchen team would like us to advise parents that the chips served on a Friday are not salted nor are they spicy, they are made from just potatoes and vegetable oil.
FASHION SHOW - MODELS
The Friends would like to remind all the budding catwalk models out there that the slip for you to take part in the Fashion Show needs to be returned to the office by Thursday 26 March. Any offers of parents to help with the dressing of the models would be appreciated.
AFTER SCHOOL SWIMMING
The Friends have had a disappointing response to the request for any volunteers to undergo shallow water training in order to supervise the after school swimming sessions in June/July. They have only had 2 parents volunteer – unless there are more parents willing to be trained they will not be able to run the after school swimming this year. If you feel you can do this, please fill in a form from the office.

Sports Teams in Action at Debenham
After school on Friday we filled a coach with 2 Netball Teams and 3 Football Teams for a set of matches against Debenham Primary School.
Both Netball teams won their matches.
The Year 4 Football Team team won 8-0 with Adam scoring 4.
Our A team lost 3-0 to a talented Debenham team. The scoreline hardly reflected the play though. Framlingham played well and had plenty of goal scoring chances. The difference between the sides was in the quality of the finishing.
Our B Team had a more comfortable 4-0 win.
