Y5 @ Gastrells
Congratulations to all of you for your in our school speeches competition. We were entertained throughout with a wide range of interesting speeches and some really confident performances. You’ve set the bar high for next year!
In a difficult contest to judge, well done to Danny who won the 3/4 age category; he progresses to the school shortlist, where one pupil will represent us in the regional competition…
Well done everyone who attended the cross country on the final day of term; what a brilliant turnout. We were served classic winter XC conditions – nice and soft underfoot and plenty of mud!
Matilda picked up a win in the girls 3/4 race, with runners up spots for Bay and Daniel.
There were plenty of other impressive performances throughout the field and we hope many of you will come along to the district event in the new term.
This term Goshawks have been investigating different forces and carrying out tests to find out how levers and pulleys can assist us.
Well done to Charlie, Stanley and Matilda from Goshawks who represented the school vs. Blue Coat Primary School in Wotton-under-Edge. No win this time, but a battling performance and we’ll learn plenty from being up against an experienced opponent.

This term we’ve been researching the local bird population in forest school and are making our own bird boxes which we hope to put up around the site to attract more to the area. We’ve learnt some practical woodworking skills and the art of measuring accurately.
Here are some photos from our Christmas production. Huge well done to you all for two brilliant performances, it was an entertaining and memorable show!
(thanks to Miss Kelly and everyone who emailed me additional photos)
