ICT in Music

This week saw the children of Upper IV working in their music lesson with the Fizzbooks and sequencing  software (Sony Acid Xpress).  This was the first time the children had used the software but they were able to produce some very creative compositions!

 

Christmas Fun Day

Despite cool temperatures on the last day of term, all the children greatly enjoyed playing on the giant inflatables.  In the afternoon they had a visit from Father Christmas himself!

The North Pole at Eureka!

It may have been the wettest, windiest day of the year, but Nursery and Lower I children had the most exciting day of the year on Thursday 8th December, when they visited Father Christmas at Eureka Children’s Museum.

Great anticipation surrounded the trip as we boarded the yellow bus, warmly wrapped up to guard us against the torrential weather.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once inside the museum we soon forgot the rain.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This group of children headed straight to the garage where vehicles were repaired before being driven off to a variety of destinations.

 

 

 

 

 

This young driver said that he was driving to London.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Away we go!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Marks and Spencer had their busiest shopping day of the season as The Gleddings’ children shopped until they dropped!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After all that spending, several trips to the bank became necessary.

 

Not one, but two bank managers were called in to thoroughly check the accounts!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Before visiting Father Christmas, we explored the exciting play areas.  There was so much to see and do that the time rushed by very quickly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our own wonderful Chef Lizzie kindly prepared us our delicious packed lunches.  Eating on board a train carriage was great fun and all the running around the museum had given everyone a huge appetite.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After lunch we returned to the museum for the highlight of our visit – our journey to the North Pole.  We were met by Santa’s elves and listened to a Christmas story before meeting Father Christmas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Winter wonderland journey was amazing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Santa was waiting for us, with a gift for everyone.

 

 

 

 

THANK YOU FATHER CHRISTMAS!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our exciting day ended at 2.00 p.m. when, thoroughly exhausted but happy, we boarded the yellow bus to return to school.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mrs Armstrong has already asked Mrs Wilson if we may please go to Eureka again next year.  She, of course, said yes, so we will all look forward to December 2012!

Number Fun Day

On Friday 2nd December it was ‘Number Fun Day’ at The Gleddings.  The children took part in a range of activities, both in the classroom and around the school, to raise money for the NSPCC. Here the children can be seen working collaboratively to find the answers to a number quiz.  A great deal of fun was had by all and the day was rounded off with the children taking home some number biscuits expertly baked and decorated by the wonderful Chef Lizzie!!  A big thank you to all the children who donated their money to raise much needed funds for this very worthy charity.
