Class CH have their Friday Assembly

Class CH (Reception class) had their Friday presentation assembly today. They confidently showed a range of work (based on their topic about 'Ourselves') to their parents and the rest of the school. There was measuring work (numeracy), smoothies (DT), lots of art work, ICT pictures, writing about Elmer and some independant drawing. A brilliant way to end a busy half term.

Cake Stall a Delicious Success

A huge happy crowd of parents and children gathered around the front playground shelter in lovely sunshine. Thank you in you made or bought any of the cakes.

Monet Japanese Bridges

Class NS/JB looked at a painting by Claude Monet called the Japanese Bridge, which was painted in 1899. We tried to do our own version of the Japanese Bridge using oil pastels, charcoal and chalk. We used different shades of colours to get a good effect. Small horizontal and vertical lines looked good as well as small smudged areas. Some people used the side of the pastels for the water. Mrs Bell looked at our hands and said they looked liked artist hands! They look super because they are all different and we put a lot of effort into the pictures.

Class DB have continued their Monet work with some water lily studies.

The annual inter school football tournament took place last Friday afternoon at Stradbroke High School. There were 15 teams (including 2 from SRH Framlingham) split into 3 groups. Our B Team (mainly year 5 boys) did very wll to come 3rd in their group only losing one match. Our A team won their group with 2 wins and 2 draws to progress to the semi finals. Our boys put in their best performance of the day to beat SRH Debenham by 2 goals to nil. In the final they played Laxfield. Despite constant atacks SRH could not score. Our goalie did not having anything to do but the game (which had to be shorten due to the tournament over running) finished goal less. There was no extra time or penalties so we shared the trophy with Laxfield.
