Elder loved learning about our Courageous Advocate, Wangari Maatthai. Her life story and work have inspired us to do more for the world and people around us! @SchoolWhitegate

Elder loved Mr Heathcote’s Collective Worship about St. George and the Armour of God. We were so inspired we made notes in our personal Bibles. @SchoolWhitegate

Happy Easter and a huge well done to all of Elder class for ending the term shining so brightly. Your singing, acting and speaking were all incredible. We couldn’t be prouder of you all. Have a wonderful Easter break! @SchoolWhitegate

As part of our RE learning, Elder took part in some trust games yesterday. We did trust falls, navigated an obstacle course blindfolded and rummaged in a mystery bag. It turns out there’s a lot of trust in Elder! @SchoolWhitegate

Quelle heure est-il, Monsiur Le Loup? What time is it, Mr Wolf? Dinner time, by the looks of it! Thanks for Mrs Shapland for a fun and energetic French lesson! @SchoolWhitegate

Elder have been channeling our Easter learning at lunchtimes this week. Can you guess who the very stern four faces belong to? Clue: they’re not keen on people who go against their authority! @SchoolWhitegate

Elder are recording our information from yesterday’s debate and forming our final, personal conclusions. @SchoolWhitegate

Elder dusted off our debating gloves to discuss the following question: is it ever right to stand up to authority? We used some famous examples to inspire us and build up our arguments. @SchoolWhitegate

Anyone for a game of ladders/shopping list!? @SchoolWhitegate

Energy levels are still high! This game should burn off a bit of excess energy! @SchoolWhitegate

The rooms are ready and the mattresses are pumped. Time for a few more classic games! @SchoolWhitegate

The food has been a big hit! We’re gearing up for some games soon! @SchoolWhitegate

Elder are changing some of the variables to see if that changes our results. @SchoolWhitegate

Science Week is heating up as Elder are investigating flipping toast! Most of us think that buttering one side will make it more likely to land butter side down. What do you think? @SchoolWhitegate

Elder are writing letters to God as part of this week’s Ethos Group. @WhitegateWorsh1

Elder have been having great fun for Science Week! We tested different shapes of boats and saw how many marbles we could float on them. The record was 70! @SchoolWhitegate

Elder loved our start to Science Week. We learned about teeth with Mrs Turner and about Ralph Braun - an engineer who made a huge difference to the lives of people who use wheelchairs. @SchoolWhitegate

More book spoons from Elder. Can you spot any familiar characters? @SchoolWhitegate

Elder have been making our very own book characters today using spoons, ingenuity and a bit of everything in the art cupboard! @SchoolWhitegate

Elder enjoyed their mystery readers for our bonus World Book Day fun! @SchoolWhitegate
