  • Year 5 KNEX Challenge

    Published 29/04/25

    On the 23rd and 24th April, year 5 took part in a KNEX challenge. Children worked in pairs and each pair had one hour to create fairground ride. One winning pair was selected. In 5W, the winners were Jack D and Adam D, in 5S the winners were Addison and Millie R and finally in 5P the winners were Ava and Mason. Everyone enjoyed it very much. Our leader, Andre, taught us to persevere and always ask questions. At the end of the session, he asked us what we wanted to do for a job when we were older and to always follow our dreams. He taught us that STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics and that lots of jobs use these skills. We said a big thank you to Andre and then he left the building.

  • Easter School

    Published 22/04/25

    Thank you and well done to the Y6 children who attended Easter School. Excellent behaviour. Impeccable manners. Lots of gratitude and some learning thrown in for good measure! On the final afternoon the children completed an arithmetic test in the 'comfort' of an outside camp they made. It was a lovely day for some outdoor learning.

    School Choir Perform at Royal Albert Hall

    Published 02/04/25

    On Saturday 23rd March, the Almond Hill choir went on a school trip to London. In London, we went to The Royal Albert Hall to sing in a concert. The concert only happens every two years. There were primary and secondary choirs. There was also dancers, musicians, a conductor and some actors. We sung 5 songs. These songs were Believer, Make Your Own Kind of Music, When I Grow Up, If I Had Words and Your Voice.  

    The Royal Albert Hall is a big circular building with lights that are orange and yellow at night. It was a 1-2 hour drive by coach and about 50 other schools took part. Inside was giant with about 2000 seats and lights that shone in their colours: yellow, orange, red, blue, pink and purple. Everyone wore different coloured t-shirts. Thank you to Mrs Fordham, Mrs Cleaves and Miss Simmons for being there.
