MiddletonPrimary School

A Magical Surprise in Middleton! This week, we had the most unexpected visitor... George, the Smartest Giant in Town! The class loved reading his message and were absolutely thrilled to write back to him during their Literacy lesson. Their imaginations soared, and their letters were full of kindnessjust the way George would like it.

This week, the children in Spruce constructed solar stills and placed them in different areas around the school to investigate where the most filtered water could be produced. They have also been developing their practical skills by using a range of woodwork tools in preparation for building a raft of their own design. We are also proud of the fantastic balanced arguments the children have written.

We are holding an open afternoon at Middleton Primary School this Wednesday. Feel free to share

What a Wonderful Week in Ash Class! This week our learning was full of creativity, teamwork, and lots of giggles! Animal Friend Band! The children had a fantastic time designing and making their own musical instruments to help their animal friends start a band. We explored different sounds, materials, and rhythmssuch imaginative ideas! Interpretive Emotions Dance We paired up for a special movement session where the children created dances to show different emotions. From happy twirls to stompy angry feet, they worked beautifully with their partners to express feelings through dance. Germ-Busting Lesson with the Dollies They showed the Ash Class dollies how to stop the spread of germs by practising proper handwashing, catching coughs and sneezes, and keeping shared spaces clean. Such brilliant little health heroes!

We were delighted to welcome visitors from I Made This charity, who worked with the children to create their very own animation videos such a fantastic experience! Spruce Class also took part in a brilliant first aid session, learning important skills and showing great enthusiasm throughout. And to finish the week, we've been raising money for Children in Need by coming to school in our onesies, PJs, spots, and stripes. A huge well done and thank you to everyone for taking part and supporting such a wonderful cause! What a fantastic week!

This Thursday from 9:30!

Our young designers and scientists have been hard at work. In DT, they explored water resistance using plasticine, stopwatches, and washing-up liquid. In science, they investigated how to separate materials using magnets, filtration, and sieving. Lots of creative thinking, teamwork, and hands-on experimenting.
