Appletree Gardens

Our big bike fortnight is now COMPLETE! 120 children riding bikes, improving their skills, having fun and most importantly getting exercise!

The Year 3 and 4 children loved their friendly matches v @denbighcps The games were played in such good spirits and were well supported on the sidelines. Thank you for making the journey! Also a big thank you to the 2young sports leaders from @MonkseatonMid who refereed!

At the weekend 7 more of our own staff took part in a British Cycle rider leader training session. This now means we have 11 staff qualified to take our young people out and about safely in our area! Look out for our up and coming bike-fortnight for KS2!

Can you aim to get a 30 day streak? A 100 day streak? Can you support your class to stay in the green zone?

Well done Appletree! We are a top Doodling school. Keep it up😊

Today in art class 3 have been continuing our work on experimenting with colour mixing. Today was all about the colour green and we explored how to create different shades of green. We then created our own ‘green fingers’ artwork! 🟡➕🔵🟰🟢

Today in Science class 3 have been on a hunt looking for signs of spring. We discussed what is different in spring time compared to winter. We observed that flowers are starting to grow, leaves are starting to grow on trees and the weather is changing.

⭐️ What a WOW evening! ⭐️ Tonight the PTA hosted a Christmas Wreath Workshop and what a wonderful evening it was! So many happy faces after having created their very own wreath. Thank you to everyone that came along and helped make it such a success!

Today in science class 3 received a message from Mr Bunting asking for our help. He wanted to know which materials would be the best to keep his lunch dry. We had to investigate which materials were waterproof. Some of our sandwiches stayed dry however some ended up very soggy!

A wonderful evening had by all at our PTA Bingo Night! There were plenty of prizes to go around 🤩 huge thank you to everyone who came to support us!

Finally, our outdoor chill out shed was open at lunchtime.

Superb STEM robotic building engineering activities with all of year 3 and 4 today. Thanks to Jack for a great day!
