It is great that Patrick was there to give a talk. Hearing all those interesting facts straight from an expert will make it so much fun for the children to write their own information pages. They will have plenty of exciting things to share!

Meeting the wallabies sounds like a wonderful extra treat. Getting to stroke them and see how friendly they are is a special, hands-on memory the children will definitely treasure.

Writing about a trip they loved is a perfect way to practice their writing skills.

The organiser of this said: "We have had so many donations made whilst your choir were singing. They were wonderful. Thank you."

A massive thank you to Mrs Elkin who runs our school choir and to all the volunteers who give up their time to help. It really does make a difference. #DoWhatMattersMost 

In Year 6, it was sewing needles to the ready! Year 6 started a Design and Technology unit using a cross stitch pattern that they had created. This will then be added to a cushion to complete. 

In Year 5, there was a very exciting science experiment. The children needed to make a structure that would hold a weight by just using straws and sticky tac. There were a lot of great ideas and teamwork to make this happen. #SucceedTogether 

In year 4, our parents had a Forest school lesson. The children and parents took part in various outdoor activities that even included making a camp fire and making their own smores! They looked amazing! We hope that everyone who came, had a great time! 

In Year 3, our parents and children researched the different types of mountains and how they are formed. They all made a poster to show their findings and drew lots of diagrams to help to explain. They all worked super hard! Well done Year 3 #DoWhatMattersMost 

Year 2 did a Design and Technology lesson, using a design of a puppet that they had created to make a template. They then cut out the material and sewed it together. It was a very busy lesson with plenty of challenges! Our parents and children were amazing, and the end results were fantastic. 

Year 1 had a phonics and maths masterclass, sharing how we learn things in Year 1. Our children were brilliant, showing their grown-ups the ropes. We really hope that the celebration of learning was enjoyable for all. I know we loved having our families join us.

Thank you to everyone who was able to come into school. We always have fun inviting you in to help us.  #SucceedTogether

The children were amazing throughout and were very interested to learn everything! Well done to Reception and Year 1.

We will let you know the total raised on Monday when it has been collected and counted by the Dougie Mac team. We are so proud to be part of our local community and to help other people and families who need the care, help and support in tough times through this wonderful hospice.  Thank you so much again! #DoWhatMattersMost #ShowYouCare 

The children learnt a great deal about the skills needed for employment as well as qualifications and the journey for these people.  

A massive thank you to Mrs McConvey who organised this event.  If you would like to be involved in next year’s careers fair, please do get in touch.

The children had to change soft materials to hard by using liquid nitrogen. They had to calculate the PH levels of different liquids by using red cabbage. They created plant and animal cells from plasticine and to finish off, they compared the pond water from Keele with another area  to find out how different pollutants may affect different living species. 

They had an amazing time!
Alice from Year said 'It was really interesting and fun.'

A big thank you to Keele University for having us for the day. Our children really had a great time being scientists! 

Everyone listened carefully as she told everyone about Diwali - The Festival of Light, showing the children pictures and artefacts that she had brought along for the assembly. The children loved to hear about India, and they were amazed to find out that it actually snows in some parts there! 

We would like to thank Mrs Kumar for taking the time to tell us about her faith. It was so interesting that the questions she had to answer went on for a while. The children wanted to know even more!  #DoWhatMattersMost #ShowYouCare #BeYourselfAlways #SucceedTogether 

What an amazing show! Everyone who came were all saying how wonderful it was and how it was so lovely to see the children standing and singing  so confidently in front of a huge audience. Well done to our fantastic cast this year, some of the roles were quite a task with so many lines to remember and solo songs to sing! 

Lexi, who played the part of Annie (first half), said 'I loved everything about this show, the singing and acting... just everything!' 

Francesca, who played Annie (second half), said 'It was amazing! I made my mum and dad cry when I sang'

We are so proud of everyone involved, and to take this opportunity to thank our KS2 staff for helping to make this show the success it was. We loved it! #SucceedTogether #DoWhatMattersMost 

We were so proud of all the children.  They were focused, asked some great questions and worked really well together.  The lady who ran the workshop thanked me for taking such lovely children to visit. 

 A brilliant day for everyone!

This money was made through having a coffee and cake morning in school and inviting families and friends of Friarswood to join us. This is a much-loved annual event and is extremely popular. A huge thank you to everyone who baked, donated, joined us and made this as successful as it was.

Thanks to the incredible efforts of the Co-op Academies Trust’s community team and 25 amazing volunteers from Wincanton, DHL, GXO, Co-op Procurement and Co-op store managers, our outdoor learning space has had a full makeover.
